Late wedding gift

12 years ago

My nephew got married in Jamaica this winter. I finally got these X-mas placemats made for them. Going their way on vacation next week, so not finished too early. Hope they like them. The black is the reverse.

Another Wedding Gift Question

I am adamant about this in my own life - chances are the bride and groom don't know you from a hole in the wall. Send regrets and nothing else. Presumptuously, I have made it clear to my friends with kids of marrying age that I am not to be invited to the weddings of their children. I am quite happy to go to a shower but not to a wedding. My DH does not know their children so why should we go? When and if my children get married we will not be inviting friends. It isn't my wedding and we don't have the extra cash to pay for big weddings.

Wedding Gifts: Give both wedding & shower gift?
Q
Comments (5)
if you weren't invited to the shower, you don't need to give them a shower gift. If you DID go to a shower, you would give both, as you know. If you wish you had been invited to the shower, you *could* give them a shower gift, but I wonder if that might make them feel bad for not inviting you--in which case, don't label it a shower gift. But the wedding gift alone is just fine--and I bet they'll like it, LOL! it'll certainly fit w/ their decorating scheme.

Donations en lieu of gifts, at wedding, is that tacky?

Another fan of mentioning nothing or Oly’s advice. Would have no problem donating. For other weddings not keen on the experience or honeymoon fund requests. Not sure why I am so against it, guess it is just the tradition of the gifts being for setting up a household or perhaps updating on a secon wedding. Although I have an aversion to couple requesting gifts I given experiences as gifts. When my nephew got married a few years back they had very little money, but having a big wedding so I assumed most of the household items would be handled. Wanted to give a special gift so I asked about giving them tickets to a show in Las Vegas, their honeymoon destination. My MIL had given them a week’s stay at her timeshare so I thought the show would be perfect. Had them chose the show and they were thrilled. My standard gift these days is a small gift along with cash.

I think it could depend on the relationship with him as well as what it will cost in travel and accomadations. Also what you can afford. My family has a huge range of wealth or lack of, so some could spend the 2 grand to travel and give another 1000 on top. I tend to be overly generous being squarly in the middle financially. I recently had two events for two nephews. One a wedding and one a ”major award”. I could not attend yhe wedding so I gave 1000 which was still less thanwe would have spent to travel along with something I had from his grandad for sentiment. The other nephew I spent a couple grand on travel and hotel and made a painting of our hometown and a gift of 500.

Have a great trip!

No, not appliques. I bought the fabric on-line. It was all squares of X-mas things, and I cut them out 2 squares by 3 squares and added the gold snowflake border so I could cut the corners off. It makes them fit so much nicer on the table... no overlapping one on top of the other. Thanks for the nice comments.
