Author Message kikigirl_wolf Yahoo User Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 8:58 pm    Post subject: Do I give the couple a gift twice? I was invited and attended the bridal/wedding shower. I spent $100 on a shower gift. Now that I'm attending the wedding this week, does that mean that I have to buy them another gift for the ceremony/reception (not necessarily from the registry). The invitation asked for no presentation. Back to top Galaxie Girl Yahoo User Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 9:01 pm    Post subject: Yes, you buy a shower gift and a wedding gift. They are two separate events. Back to top oh em gee Yahoo User Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 9:02 pm    Post subject: I would buy them a present for the shower and give them money for the wedding. Like 60 dollars since you already spend 100.

It's really a matter of preference. "The invitation asked for no presentation." What does this mean?

Back to top chevalier Yahoo User Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 9:03 pm    Post subject: you should but it does not have to be as expensive, just something for the home, or a gift card so they can get whatever they want. Back to top Married Couple Yahoo User Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 9:03 pm    Post subject: Yes, when you are invited to both you purchase a gift for both. A lot of times the bridal gift is either more for the bride or something that means a lot to them. A wedding gift is more for the couple and there new home. They should be registered if they didn't tell you, you can ask they won't mind since they registered!! I know it can be expensive but it is respectful to do so.Hope this helps.

If you spent so much on the shower present, I would get them a small something off their list!! Back to top lizzcorrea123 Yahoo User Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 9:06 pm    Post subject: I suppose so. I would have bought a cheap bridal gift and a more expensive Wedding Gift. You can also just buy them house supplies.. That's what they usually get anyways.

It is proper though..the bridal shower is usually stuff for the bride..usually to "spice" up the sex life after marriage..or the night of the weddingand the wedding gift is for the couple.. Back to top Ren Yahoo User Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 9:08 pm    Post subject: The inviation asked for no presentation!?!? Wth does that mean. Typically you do buy a present for the shower and the wedding, so I don't know what to tell you. Back to top pinkpaisley Yahoo User Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 9:09 pm    Post subject: i think just a card would do. nobody should expect you to give them two presents Back to top SChi25 Yahoo User Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 9:20 pm    Post subject: Technically, you don't HAVE to. It really depends on how close you are to the couple. Since you already gave them a pretty expensive shower gift - I would get them something small from their registry (stick the list - it's what they want). Did they register for drinking glasses or measuring spoons? You can always include a little note with the inexpensive item from their registry that says, "Always measure with love" or something (with the measuring spoons). That way they have a memory to tie into an otherwise meaningless gift.If you're really close to the couple, as in a best friend or sister, I would spring for another more expensive gift (again, from their registry) if you can afford it. Perhaps in the $50-$80 range. If you can't, no sweat. Make them a photo album. You can make digital photo albums online at most drugstore's websites, and they're so personal and will be treasured always. You can even add captions with inside jokes to make it even more personalized. It's up to you. Use your best judgment, and do what you feel comfortable with. You'll make the right choice. Good luck Back to top Cher Yahoo User Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 9:50 pm    Post subject: yes, a gift for each occasion, since youwent a little overboard for showergive what you can easily givefor wedding Back to top nova_queen_28 Yahoo User Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 6:44 am    Post subject: Yes you give twice. Both are separate gift-giving occassions so if you attend both, the proper thing to do is give a gift. Back to top
