| Find out the name and address of the parents and send it directly to them, they will know by looking at the envelope what it is for. i.e the colour |

| You send it the same way you would if you were sending to another place. Just make sure you have the correct address to the place and the person's name. You might be able to e-mail the place where you want to send it and have them pass it on to the reception. |

| Today enclosing banknotes in the envelope is prohibited (international mailing rule).Nonmailable articles"Mail other than registered mail in a sealed envelope and insured mail should not include coins, banknotes, paper money, securities of any kind payable to the bearer, traveler’s checks, or processed or unprocessed platinum, gold or silver, precious stones"Try International Postal Money Order. US$200-300 is good for Japanese wedding.Consult at post office.Please don't send domestic Money Order or check(cheque). |

| If Japanese people can't attend a wedding or reception, they usually send their gift to the address of a groom or bride. So it's kinda strange for you to send the kind of gift directly to the place for the reception because that's not really common.If you know someone who attends your friend(?)'s reception, you can give the gift to him/her. Otherwise, you should just send the gift (money) to the address of a groom or bride before their wedding.By the way, you don't really need to send them money. You can send them a present that costs the same amount of money that you want to spend for the wedding gift to them. I'm Japanese and I do worry about sending money from the states. So I always buy a gift. Maybe you think that Japanese people only accept money as a wedding gift. But that's not true. We do send a wedding gift which is not money. I don't know how much you want to spend for the gift. But just buy some gift and send it to the address of a bride or groom. My cousin, for example, gave me and my husband designer brand items and sent them to my address.And other than a gift, you can send them a telgram also. During a reception, a host will read the telegrams that has been sent by these people who couldn't attend the reception so you can actually send them a telegram, also. So what you should do is to send a gift and telegram to the address of a bride or groom or if you know the address for the reception, you can send the telegram to the place of the reception. But don't send any gift to the place of the reception because that's not common. But I usually send both gift and telegram to the address of a bride or groom so I can make sure that the things that I have sent aren't lost. |

| I would say that there are some pretty good ideas on this post. But I just wanted to throw my thoughts in. About sending money, you can Fedx travelers checks, or a postal money order. I would send it to the person directly and have them get the MC to read you letter, like was recommend in an earlier post.About the money.... You need to send them an amount that is not divisible by two, it is considered bad luck. One, three, and five hundred dollars are normal amounts. If is is a friend $300 is ok. If it is your best friend $500 would be good. If it is just a friend from the office $100 would be ok. |
