Did you get gifts after your wedding was over???

Question

We just got married and there where a lot of people who did not bring gifts. Not that we are expecting them just some of the people I know asked about our registry but then did not bring anything?? Just wondering if anyone sends gifts after the wedding?? Thanks!

Answer 1

Sadly I had to do that for a close friend's wedding. I had just started a job and didn't even have a paycheck and really wanted to spend $200 on her gift but we had such a hard time finding dresses for the bridesmaids that she approved of and finally she picked a $250 dress, which I had to pay for!!! So I had to buy her present a month later.

Answer 2

Yeah--it's appropriate to give a wedding gift up to 2 years after the wedding, according to the etiquette guides.

Answer 3

In the course of my life, I've sent gifts in advance, given at the reception and sent them after the wedding, so you may still get some gifts after the wedding.

Best wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

Did you get married in a town where you don't live?  I know that when I get gifts from people's registries, I have it shipped to them so they don't have to worry about transporting it from the reception to their parents house, then to their house.  Normally I do bring a card though w/ a picture or at least a hint of what I got them.

Answer 5

Generally, not..unless they were out of town and missed the wedding!

Answer 6

Technically, they have a year to gift you.

But don't hold your breath, if they didn't gift you then, they won't gift you now. YOu may receive some from people that didn't attend, but not from the people that did attend and didn't gift you.

Good luck (I'm sorry)

Answer 7

OH YES you will receive more.

Actually it is improper to bring gifts to the wedding since it poses a question of who will watch and transport them to what is usually an empty home while the couple is honeymooning. It allows for errors and misplacements. But gifts should be sent before the wedding but today, people are always late about everything.

Answer 8

It is actually acceptable etiquette to send a wedding gift up to a year after your wedding.  You will notice that you're registry will stay active in the store for that long, because of that rule.

Most people shy away from bringing present directly to the wedding because it's inconvenient for the bride and groom to store and move a bunch of big boxes at and after their reception.

Congratulations!

Answer 9

We actually got a gift yesterday, we were married in February! I do think that's an isolated thing, though.

Answer 10

same thing happened to me!  Alot of people asked where we were registered and asked what my favorite things on the registry was so yeah I'm ashamed to say but I started looking foraward to presents!  Well we had about 100 people came and we only recieved 2 presents!  Seriously, we got a big blanket and a set of 4 glasses!  I was really sad about it and posted a similar question on here and everyone told me that they were either stolen or I would get them later and No they werent stolen and no we never recieved anything else.   Rude, huh?  They could've atleast bought something cheap, h**l even a card would've been nice, we bought the food and everything, usually people bring something to atleast cover the cost of themselves.  But oh well I guess i'm getting over it now.  We're married and thats all that matters!  It was really good to hear I wasn't the only one that this happened to.  I usually hear stories on here like "We had two hundred people and 2 of them didn't bring anything, blah, blah, blah."  Lucky people! LOL!
