|
| I have a friend that's getting married at the end of July. I'm not going to her wedding...Should I send the gift with the Regret or wait until it's closer to the wedding and mail one? |

| Send a card immediately, and Say regretfully you won;t be able to attend, but a gift will follow shortly after the wedding. |

| You can send it now. We got many things several weeks in advance, in fact we just got something and it been more than 2 months. |

| you should send your response sooner than later; she may need to get a head count to thecaterer, or corrdinator. you can let your friend know (at the bottom of your regret) that your gift will follow even if it arrives after the ceremony. |

| Mail it after the regrets but before the wedding. Otherwise, wait until at least a week afterwards. They will be on their honeymoon and might not be available to receive it. |

| I'd send the regret first then send the wedding gift AFTER they are married just in case she calls the wedding off! Plus, it will be more special if it arrives unexpectedly! Furthermore, you can take inventory on what she received and you won't give her a duplicate gift! |

| it all depends if they have their household set up or not. some people sent gift to my mom's house, they did not know my new address. send saying i can not attend i am so sorry. you either send the present before the wedding or the week afterwards, they will be busy otherwise. |

| If you know that you are definitely not going to her wedding and reception NOW then you need to inform her NOW so she does not order you a dinner.Send the RSVP back now. The wedding gift can be sent before or after the wedding date. Wedding gifts can be sent up to one year after the ceremony.Answered by: A Certified wedding specialist / A Professional bridal consultant / A Wedding ceremony officiant |

| Definitely send the gift with your regrets. An early wedding gift will certainly be appreciated. |
