Gift etiquette during the times of covid

Rachel, on August 25, 2020 at 3:09 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7
So my close friend had to postpone her big ceremony due to COVID but she still wanted to get married this year. She is holding a "minimony" and I plan on giving her a cash gift towards her honeymoon. However, next year when she holds her big ceremony, do I gave to give another gift? I am not sure what the appropriate thing to do is. Any advice would be much appreciated!

    One gift is plenty. According to the etiquette gurus (Miss Manners etc), the *only* etiquette that has changed for Covid is dealing with cutting back on guest lists where it is treated as cancelled event. If the wedding is simply postponed, then non-Covid rules apply as they do to everything else.

    One gift is perfectly generous.

    If it is my close friend I would totally get her another gift next year. Although it would be smaller and more personal and less expensive. Prob take her out for coffee or brunch or give a bottle of wine or pay to do nails together. Something like that, just to celebrate our friendship during her happy time. Good luck!

    You definitely only need to give one gift. If you'd like to do something for each occasion, you can just give her a card with a nice note in it for the one you don't send a gift for. You can choose whether you'd like to give the gift now or closer to the reception, but as a bride in a similar situation, the honeymoon money (or really any gift) will be especially appreciated this year. It's nice to know that people are thinking about you and your wedding even if they won't be in attendance at the ceremony.
