Question regarding wedding..?

Question

When is the right time to send a wedding card/gift card to my friend who is getting married in september..!? they sent out invitations but im not attending..im not sure when is the right time to send it?

Answer 1

Nice girl you are not very nice... - I think as long as you send your friend a card and or gift and she gets it before she gets back from her honeymoon it will be fine.

Answer 2

I would wait till right befor the wedding about two weeks befor

Answer 3

I totally agree with Bride in Boots. People did that for me and it totally helped me not misplace anything.

Answer 4

Personally, I enjoyed getting wedding presents early because everything was new and exciting. After the wedding there are so many gifts it is harder to remember who gave you what since you open most of your gifts after you get back from your honeymoon. I also agree that I would send the RSVP card separately. I sent a wedding present to my close friend a few months in advance and she called me thrilled because it was her first gift and she was excited to talk about the wedding plans, etc.

Answer 5

I think its ok to send it now if you want. I don't think there is really an "inappropriate" time to do so. You may send them a card before the wedding letting them know you would love to attend but will not be able to and wish them the best and include your gift to them. That's what I think I would do.

Answer 6

You should send the card either right before or right after the wedding.  You should make sure they have it by the time they get back from their honeymoon.

Answer 7

i also agree that you should send it with the RSVP card, it won't get lost and they'll be excited when they get something since they'll be bummed that your not gonna make it :)  and the postage is already paid for.

Answer 8

Since you have received an invitation already, you can send the card as soon as you want. You can even send a gift/card after the wedding, but courtesy says you should do it within a year of the wedding day. So you can send it any time between now and September 2009.

I DO NOT suggest sending it with the RSVP card. Many couples have their RSVP cards addressed to one of their parents or a wedding planner - whoever they've asked to keep track of the guest list. You could be sending the gift to the wrong person! So send in your "no" RSVP, but send a gift/card separately.

Answer 9

I would go ahead and sent the card/gift along with the declining RSVP. That way there's no way it'll get lost or misplaced later in the rush.
