Faux Pas or Nah: Bringing a large gift to the wedding?

Nah

...but I think its better to just have them shipped (many if not all registry sites have the option). For example, I bought my cousin a wall decor item that was oddly sized, and had it shipped to her because there was no way it was going on a road trip with us in my tiny car.

I cannot imagine bringing anything that would not fit in an envelope. Physical gifts I would mail.

Any gift is amazing, you should never complain about any gift given, so my answer is nah.

I've never been to a wedding where a gift was given at the ceremony/reception. I find it really odd and would not have appreciated having to figure out what to do with another THING at the end of a very long day.

Nah. I think most people have online registries now anyway and just get the stuff shipped straight to their house.

Nah. I mean, I wouldn't do it (I'm a firm believer in cards with cash only for a wedding; gifts are meant for the shower(s)), but I'm also not going to be ungrateful for anyone that wants to get me and FH a present. It's going to be a pain to take care of at the end of the night, but a gift is a gift. Don't complain about it.

Nah. A gift is a gift, right? They may not have the option getting it anywhere else (such as a shower or shipping it direct), so what else are they supposed to do with it?

Nah. It’s about the love and the moment

Nah. I think if someone wants to bring me something it's appreciated

It's an inconvenience, maybe, but not a faux pas. At least they were generous enough to bring a gift!

A gift is a gift 🤷🏻‍♀️

View Quoted Comment Exactly. And if they have something on their registry they shouldn’t be surprised at having someone buy those things for them and bring, wrapped, to the wedding.

Good point!! Any gift is a nice gift in my opinion!

Yep, I completely agree!!

I guess it depends on how large. If its going to take up a whole car or going to need a special trip, maybe its best to arrange a special drop off with the couple. But, if its something that was on their registry and just happens to take up more space (like bedding, platters, counter top appliances), then I don't think it would be rude (but, in the day and age of free shipping, I don't think that's a bad way to go no matter the size!)

I'd say "at least I brought a gift." However, personally we always put cash or a gift card in a card. It's easier to transport, and easier for the bride and groom to use.

My wedding is at a venue where we have to cart everything off site that night! While I would never complain if someone brought a big gift to the wedding, it is a hassle for those having to gather all the decor, cake, and now large gift into allotted cars.

Try not to do it, but it's not the end of the world if you do.

Nah, especially if it's on their registry.

I've read so many complaints about this, but we ended up with two or three and I thought it was a nice surprise. It's not that big of a deal to throw a bag into the car. One friend made us a super thoughtful and creative gift basket and everyone was curious who it came from.

Nah at least they got one. Considering id usually give something for bridal shower
