What are the rules on buying a wedding gift?
March 10, 2010 | In: Wedding Gifts
When you have already bought a wedding gift for a wedding shower, Is it wrong not to take anything to the actual wedding? Or are you suppose to buy two wedding gifts?

No, you are only expected to buy one gift. The only gifts at the wedding usually come from those who did not attend the showers/ wedding parties.

I think that most people who brought a gift to the shower do not bring a gift to the wedding. At the wedding the people who did not go to the shower bring their gifts.

You should bring something to the wedding. Even a card with money or a gift certificate is acceptable. If you are low on cash you can always make something nice for their new place.

A shower gift is separate from the actual wedding gift. Generally for the shower, the couple is registered at one or more stores. You get the list of items they want from the store(s), see which ones haven’t already been purchased, then buy one.
For the wedding, itself, most people give money. This is generally because the cost of the wedding, reception, etc. have cost so much, that they could use it.
It is also okay to bring a gift to the wedding. You can also skip the shower, just do RSVP with a cannot attend, so they know how many people are coming.

that’s a really good ?. i’m not sure, but i guess it depends on how well/how much i like the person. lmao. i know that sounds so awful, but i’m being honest. if you’re really good friends or like them, then yeah go ahead and buy another one, but only if you have the financial means too do it. if you’re low on cash, don’t. one’s plenty.
if anything– you can just get them another card. lol. or maybe even hit up the dollar store in your area and find some knick-knacks to put together. lol.

yes, you should bring a gift to the wedding also.
we usually give $100 when we go to a wedding to pay for our dinner cost! and a gift at the shower.

I usually buy both, but don’t break yourself. get something that you can afford.
