Gift timing

Can you contact the parents and find out if they will have a card basket? All gifts are given the day of the wedding if you don’t go to the shower.

View Quoted Comment Hi Michelle! Good idea, but we’re trying to avoid holding a card for several hours between ceremony and reception which is why we wanted to send money via their honeymoon fund.

View Quoted Comment They should have something at the ceremony for cards and gifts or give the envelope to parents if there is no card box which is very rare. That way it’s in safe hands and you have peace of mind.

View Quoted Comment Ahh! I get what you mean! All of the weddings I’ve attended, the gift box is at the reception location not church/ceremony location! I’ll check with their parents thank you

Wedding gifts can be given anytime prior to the wedding and it is totally acceptable to donate to the honeymoon fund whenever works for you! That is one of the advantages is that it makes it easier on the guests - I usually do it when I accept an invite. PLEASE do not ask the parents, they have so many more important things to worry about than planning the exact location of a card box.

Technically wedding gifts should be sent to the couple's house before or after the wedding, not brought to the wedding itself. You can send your gift whenever you want.
