Send the Wedding Gifts
I've been told by quite a few MOB's that they wish all wedding guests would send their gifts ahead of time to the bride. Registries make this so easy, the store will ship it directly. Obviously, if you are bringing a card with a check, that is different. But to have to take care of the gifts after the wedding puts undue stress on the parents and the newlyweds. This happens even at destination weddings where sometimes the gifts have to be shipped home. Has anyone had experience with this? Other thoughts or ideas?

I am about to lug four hand-painted margarita glasses and a bottle of Patron five hours to my cousin's destination wedding at a vineyard. I never even thought about the fact that they are going to have to lug it back home! Oops. I guess there's always the next wedding ...

Kathleen, as you said: next time! Plus you had to wrap it too! Your gift sounds perfect for a wedding at a vineyard! Have fun! Diane
I myself went to a wedding this past weekend and am happy to report that there were only 2 gifts on the "gift table."
Isn't it a little selfish of an MOB to complain about anything involved with giving her daughter a present to commemorate the big day?
