Wedding party gifting

Kevin, on September 4, 2020 at 7:31 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9
So my fiancé and I postponed our wedding to next year. We are doing a small family and wedding party only wedding Mini ceremony on our date and having a full wedding with reception next year. Our wedding party will be seated as guests for this year and we are not having any type of bachelorette party other than a pizza dinner while diy some stuff for the wedding. Do I give them gifts this year, wait until next year? Two gifts something small and big? I’m at a loss! Same with our officiant family friend who is marrying us gift now later both help?!

    For the bridal party I would personally gift them next year if they aren’t a part of this ceremony. For the officiant I would do both because they’re legally marrying you for the small ceremony.

    Would it bad to gift only one something small this year and the others next year I have one bridesmaid who has been the biggest support and the most help and my MOH has done nothing and isn’t even coming to my wedding this year?

    Hmm I would give your big gifts this year because you're legally getting married now and they are still your attendants either way. Get something smaller next year.

    If you wanted to, a small gift this year and a larger gift next year wouldn't be a bad idea! Otherwise, I'd wait until your larger reception to gift the bridal party gifts.

    I'd do small gift (maybe even a heartfelt hand written note! I feel like I'm the only one that loves getting those.) and then big next year when it's more "glamorous".

    A gift now, with a thank you note, for participating in the ceremony. No gift second time around. And guests will give you one gift on the occasion of being married, their choice when. And those who attend a shower give the usual second gift ( in addition to a wedding gift) then.
