Poll: What do you usually bring to a wedding, money or physical gift?

Every wedding I've been to people give cash or gift cards. I've never seen a gift at a wedding.

Gift for the shower, card with cash at the wedding.

I usually give a gift that the couple has registered for, if no registry then I give money.

ETA: I guess I've been doing things wrong all these years then, I didn't realize that you still gave a card with cash at the wedding in addition to purchasing a gift from the registry.

I pick something from the registry and have it sent to the couple's home. If not, we do a nice card and at least $200.00 cash ( we live in New York where it's expensive).

I think you should still expect some boxed gifts, so have a table and a money box set aside.

best wishes!

Money. I usually give $100 pp. $100 total if I've attended and purchased a shower gift for them already.

Any wedding I've been to has been a physical gift at a shower, money at the wedding. However if I were coming to you for a DW, I'd bring money considering luggage for both of us. Impersonal, yes. But you're going to be paying out the butt in oversize luggage bringing a mixer home!

I've never seen a physical gift at a wedding, so I guess this depends on where you live. We give money for weddings & gifts for showers.

I rarely see an actual gift at a wedding (and I go to a LOT of weddings, lol....) There might be one or two, but it's almost always cards.

Definitely a physics gift for the shower and cash for the wedding. I haven't seen physics gifts at weddings in many years. I try to cover my plate, but I know sometimes I may have fallen a little short. It's very expensive here in NY/NJ. Yikes...

I think it really depends on your crowd too. My family is really big on cash gifts, whereas FH's family is big on boxed gifts. We had a wedding in October that was an out of town wedding for most guests. I think FH and I, and FSIL were the only ones who opted for a card and cash vs. a boxed gift.

Gift for shower. Card and cash or giftcard for wedding (especially is the couple is traveling)

I do a combination lol. I also buy a personalized Christmas Ornament (initials and wedding day) plus cash.

Definitely go with the physical gift at the shower and then a card at the wedding although i did give to friends framed photos at their weddings also.

Physical gift to the bridal shower and cash with card to the wedding

Also as a somewhat non-related note: Before planning my wedding, I never realized how much this stuff cost. Now I feel like we were waaaay cheap on gift giving for the weddings FH and I have been to (once we gave $50 total for a wedding for a couple we are not close to that was in a barn that was catered by the family) and feel really bad and want to send a couple of people more money now.

Boxed gift, unless there's a honeymoon registry, in which case I give to that. I've never seen anyone bring cash to a wedding or a shower.

Gift for the shower, money for the wedding.

A few people brought physical gifts to my wedding and a few more shipped us wedding gifts before the wedding. I thought I preferred cash as a gift, but I really remember those who gave me gifts more and what they gave me.

I usually go with a gift card, but if you have a registry I like to buy off of that if I can. In a case like yours I think most ppl would have your gift shipped to you so you don't end up with boxes of stuff to ship back home after the wedding

I either write a check or buy something directly from registry and ship to them before the wedding. I don't bring the gift to the wedding.

A gift for the shower and a check for the wedding (usually around $300 or more for close family). If people are coming from OOT, I think they're more likely to give money.
