Invitations For Weddings
Do you have to give a wedding present in this situation?
I received invitations to two weddings. I went to the bridal showers and brought presents for those, but since I didn’t go to the receptions, I don’t feel the need to give another present for the wedding, but someone thinks I have to. Well, do I have to?
If one was a greedy sort of person, then one would delight in a world where one could require that others send one gifts by the simple expedient of sending them an invitation! Happily, etiquette is here to make the world go round smoothly and not to accommodate the demands of the greedy. One is required to bring a gift when on attends a shower. One is required to bring a gift when one attends a child’s birthday party.
When one receives a invitation, one is required to immediately acknowledge the invitation and express thanks for being invited. If the invitation is to celebrate a milestone in someone’s life, like graduation, marriage, or retirement, then one is required to send a letter or note of congratulations and good wishes. If one accepts an invitation and attends a party, dinner, or whatever, then one is required to send a prompt note or letter thanking the host for the wonderful party, dinner, or whatever. When one is required to send a letter or note, as described above, one may send a gift along with or instead of the letter or note.
Not that long ago is was considered rather rude to invite someone to a shower if that someone was invited to the wedding. The idea was if there someone was placed into a position where double gifting might be expected from that somewhere, then somebody somewhere was being greedy, greedy, greedy. Of course this rule did not apply is someone invited to the wedding ASKED to be included in a shower.
The Wedding Industry has made a lot of progress toward its goal of transforming weddings into a commercial orgy of gift buying, rather like all the worst aspect of a modern Christmas season. This is supposed to be a joyeous celebration of a happy event, not an expensive and irksome series of chores.
