Present gifts at rehearsal dinner?

We are planning on giving gifts to my mom, the bridesmaids, and his parents, and the groomsmen, and I'd like to give them during rehearsal dinner. Should these be presented after toasts with a speech or something? Or should these be given in private sometime before the wedding?

I also have gifts for those that have volunteered to help me in the wedding (hair stylists, food, musicians, bouquets, etc). Should I give those gifts to them on or before the wedding day? Or should I send those gifts out when I write all my thank you cards?

    I know some people do them at the rehearsal dinner. I’m choosing to give them out privately though since I got different amounts/price points of items for my MOH and one of my BM because of all they’ve done for me and I don’t want people to compare their gifts. I’m also going to take it as a personal moment for me to personably thank my girls for all that they’ve done. I feel like doing it at the dinner in front of everyone makes it a little less personal. But that’s just me!

    Gifts are commonly presented at the rehearsal dinner along with a few words of gratitude.

    Gifts for friendors would probably be best sent after the wedding along with a card of thanks.

    I am giving out my bridal party gifts at the wedding but doing the parents in private. I wanted to keep that as a special moment as they are meaningful gifts. I would wait and send the others out with thank you notes to take some stress off of the wedding festivities and one less thing to worry about.

    We will be giving ours out separately! I think it makes it a little more intimate and gives me a chance to say thank you in my own way!
