Do you bring a wedding gift to the wedding ceremony or reception?

Physical gifts are usually sent directly to the couple's home before the wedding day. This is the most convenient option for everyone, as it means you do not have to carry anything around on the day. If you prefer to give something in person, check the invitation for details. Some couples provide a gift table or box at the reception venue.

Do not feel you must transport a large or heavy present through the venue. If you bring a gift to the reception, keep it small and clearly labelled with the couple's names. Larger items are best posted ahead of time.

If you are giving money, a card with a cheque or a contribution via a cash or honeymoon fund is ideal. You can hand this to the couple at the reception or post it to their home. The couple will appreciate the gesture either way.
