Wedding 101: What Do I Buy The Couple?

So you’re invited to a wedding this summer and don’t know what to give the bride and groom as a congratulatory gift? First, it’s most common for all couples to send information in regards to which wedding registry they are currently enrolled. But it’s not proper etiquette for the couple to include this information within their invitation. It’s traditional for all guests to contact the mother of the bride and inquiry on gift suggestions.
If for any reason you don’t have the availability to contact the mother of the bride, registry information, or just wanna surprise them with someone personalized, simple and keep in under $60.00, we’ve created a short list.

Remember it is also common courtesy to send the gifts to the mother of the bride’s address and not directly to the couple – even if they live together. Plus, it is customary to send all gifts to the bride and groom before the wedding, or within the first month of marriage as a newlywed present. It is no longer proper to send a gift within the first year of marriage.
