No... you give it to them at the wedding reception. I believe you should have the gift check in a card in an envelop that will fit in a suit pocket (lapel pocket) and give it to the couple at the reception. I wouldn't let it get mixed up with the wrapped gifts or it might get lost.

You could go a head and send it... I had a small wedding when I got married 7 years ago. So small that most of my relatives from all over the country did not attend. I think there was a total of 30 people at my wedding in the small church, and that included the bridal party.

That same week I got married, I received a flood of wedding cards from family that contained checks, gift cards and cash. The time frame that I received them ranged from a few days before my wedding (about 2 days), to about a week after my wedding. I received more of them after my wedding then before.So I would say sending it sometime around the week of their wedding would be appropriate.

If they are leaving the area for a honeymoon right after the wedding, you may want to send it to them so that they get it before they go.

Before or after it doesn't matter Since they are living together , you could give it before the wedding so that could help with the financial preparations and add up to their wedding budget. But It would also be better if after the wedding, since it is a wedding gift.

I would not send it early If I'm going to give a check, I always put it inside a card for them to open. I place it on the gift table so to make sure that they open it. Or put the card on a money tree if they have one displayed or on the table that the money tree is on.

You can, if you want Wedding gifts are somewhat different from bridal shower gifts. There is often not a big "present opening" ceremony. Gifts come in as they come in; some before the wedding, and some after.In fact, many etiquette books (including Emily Post) give you up to a year to give the couple a gift.

The reason is that wedding gifts are usually practical, rather than tokens of affection. They stem from an old tradition of helping the couple get their start. This is a little odd these days, when so many weddings are seconds (or later), and the couple has more often lived together than not.

Still, you can let tradition be your guide, and tradition says that you can give the couple the gift any time you like. Many people deposit their gifts (including checks, usually in a nice card) on a gift table at the reception. But if you'd like to send it to them beforehand, it would surely be appreciated, since they can put it towards the honeymoon.

In a particularly novel update of this, a friend of mine coordinated her gift giving via honeyfund, in which you could contribute cash directly to elements of the honeymoon (like the hotel, travel, tickets). So I actually sent along my wedding gift via paypal. I have to admit it felt kind of tacky, but it's eminently practical, and wedding gifts are all about practicality.

Or at least they were when you couldn't assume that the couple already owned the basics of married life (blender, dishes, glass chicken candy dish, etc. ) The whole thing has kind of a "pimp my lifestyle" feel to it now, but etiquette demands we ignore that..

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
