17 CommentsI am going to the wedding with my boyfriend. When I attend a wedding I give $50 if it’s a buffet, per person, $100 to $150 if it’s a sit down dinner. I either give cash or items off of the registry.
This time, I want to give items off of the registry and, with what I want to spend, I could buy everything off of their registry for the bathroom. Towels, shower curtain, soap dispensers, etc. I think it would be cool to have bought the whole rooms worth of stuff!
Anyway, I also like to buy registry items from the appropriate registry website, then have it shipped to the couples home, so that they don’t have to lug it around on the wedding day.
How early is too early to send the wedding gift? I don’t want other people to buy the items that I want to buy, but I also don’t want the gift to be forgotten by the wedding day. Can I send the gifts now or should I wait until closer to the date? Thanks!
I base what I give on the dinner as I don’t want my date and I to be an expense to the couple, when they have so many expenses already. I like to “Pay that back” somehow. I want to enjoy the day WITH them, not be an expense.
Certainly if they are really close friends or family, I spend more! : )
Yes, I’ve received an invitation and already RSVP’d.
If a buffet costs more then I don’t know why people do it, because it does not come across as costing more at all, in my opinion!
