Do I need...
Permalink  
 

To take a gift to this wedding.  I already bought two things for the shower.  At the shower she said she needed to buy thank you notes.  I told her I still had three packages of them left over from my wedding and I'd bring them.  I know that's not an appropriate gift so do I need to swing by the store and get a gift certificate to somewhere?  Or am I just over thinking this?  The only weddings I've been to I didn't attend the shower ahead of time.

Oh, and I settled on a summer sun dress that is strapless. It's blue and white but it has a little blue sweater with cap sleeves so you can wear it over it and it looks more appropriate.

I don't know. People will tell you a shower gift is different from a wedding gift. I'd say do what you feel is right. It was a last minute invite so I'm sure it's ok if ya don't. Etiquette books say you have a year to give a wedding gift.

I think you are fine. Multiple weddings mean fewer gifts and you already gave her a couple. You are good. A card would be nice.

Okay. Maybe I'll just wait until the next time I'll see her. They're big into hunting and her sister was saying there were a bunch of things they wanted from the sporting goods store but most of them were higher priced. She said if we wanted we could do a gift certificate. I think next time I'm in downtown I'll get her one.

I think people should not take gifts to the wedding, send or deliver them after, so they can't be stolen or misplaced or mixed up.

3 boxes of thank you notes (and maybe stamps to go with them if you want) is not a bad present. Actually, since it's something you KNOW will be used,

it seem to me it's a good present.

 

 

Your choice of clothing for the wedding sounds excellent.

  except for the TY cards, usually people print up cards with a wedding picture on it.
