 |
|
| I purchased a wedding gift on the couples registry. The gift wont be sent before the wedding. Actually, since its not in stock, the store says it will be delayed one month after the wedding. Should I put the order # in a wedding card - letting the couple know that I bought them a gift, but it will be late. Or just give them a card and dont mention that I bought them a gift at all and let them figure it out next month when the receive the gift?Ohhh - Thank you for you responses. I might add - I have never met the couple. This is a friends son that is getting married. Also, Its a very elegant wedding, therefore I spent money on the gift, knowing that I will be treated to a very nice dinner and such. The gift is going straight to their house from the store. |

| I would get a picture of what you bought and then give them the gift receipt in a card.If you do nothing, they will think you stiffed them.And if it were me, I would go and buy a little token of my affection and give that to them too. |

| Definitely put something in their card!!you don't want them to think you didn't get them anything!! First, I would maybe check online to see if another store has the same item or maybe think of cancelling and get them something else off the registry. If you are commited to this item, just add the picture in their card and maybe add a witty saying about the delay of the gift. |

| I believe you have up to one year to give a wedding gift, so I wouldn't worry about it...just send them their gift when it comes in...if they think you "gipped them" then they don't have very good manners. |

| When I got married several years ago, the department stores where we registered had some sort of card that was sent to the purchaser informing them that the gift they'd purchased was out of stock and would be shipped when it arrived. We received several of these cards inside wedding cards so we knew there was something on the way.I also waited until I received the gift to write a thank you note to those people. Not because I didn't want to thank them immediately, but because I wanted to let them know that their gift had arrived safe and sound and was greatly appreciated. (And what had been sent by the store was what had been bought and paid for!) |

| It would be better for you if you mentioned the gift on your card. Don't risk them thinking you didn't get them anything until one month later. |
