Two gifts or one?.

I’m not sure of the proper etiquette, but my fiancé and I are doing the same. We’re having a small minimony this year and our bigger wedding is next year. We’re not expecting any gifts for the minimony although I’m sure certain family members (mostly grandparents lol) will still give us something.!

As a bride, I wouldn’t expect two gifts and I think it’s really up to you if you want to give a gift for the smaller wedding or the larger. Personally, I’d give the gift I intended at the smaller wedding and bring a card (and smaller gift if you want) to the larger one.

I don't know if anyone has a perfect etiquette answer since there's so many nuances to pandemic-affected weddings, but here's something from WW: https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-ideas/wedding-gift-etiquette-covid

One gift, regardless of when you send it, is plenty. The couple will truly appreciate it regardless of the timing.

I was supposed to be a bridesmaid in a June wedding that got canceled (moved to next year). I still bought gifts from the registry as though nothing had changed, and gave them to the couple. Next year, we might just give them a nice card and a bottle of wine, but I don't feel obligated to do so and know she isn't expecting that.

For my own wedding, we are proceeding with our original date but with significantly less people (about 30-40). I did not have a shower, and tbh I'm not really expecting anything in the way of gifts -- either from people who were formerly invited, or from people who will be attending. We are registered though, and have received one gift so far (from someone who was not invited to the "minimony.").

While we plan on having a more traditional reception in 2022, I honestly don't know if that's realistic, and I'm not really expecting gifts at that point either.

My original date was July 2020, postponed to July 2021, and had a 7-person minimony (not livestreamed or recorded) in August 2020. I didn't expect any gifts, and most of our invited guests haven't sent anything. But a few did send a gift for our would-be wedding day and some did for our minimony. We also have a couple guests who sent/are sending two gifts: one small gift now and one bigger gift later. There are also a couple of guests who just sent a card (no gift/cash) for now. Anyone who sent us a gift were sent a thank you card within a week of receiving them. So it's really up to you and your relationship with the couple.

I would just do large gift next year when they have their celebration

You only need to give one gift, but a card at the event you don't send a gift for would be nice. We got a few gifts around our miniwedding and I really appreciated that people were thinking of us even though they weren't going to be there.
