| Another wedding question- the gift I'm making my bff's wedding gift, and it's getting down to the wire (which is why I haven't been very active on YT in a while!). When should I give it to her? The rehearsal dinner? Do people bring the gifts at the rehearsal dinner? All the bridesmaids are getting ready at her mom's before hand, would that be an ok time to give it to her? This is the first wedding I've attended since I was a flower girl like when I was 6 or something, seriously. Thanks.

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | The wedding gift is usually taken to the reception after the wedding. There is usually a table set up for these. If not a reception, then a table is usually set up @wedding & because some attend wedding, but not reception. Have Fun!

| But you say you are making a gift. Maybe you should bring it her before the wedding so she an really enjoy the time you took to make it. After the wedding all they want to do is go on their honeymoon. Maybe she won't really get a good chance to look at it and enjoy it. Just a thought, it's the right time when you give it to her not protocol you know.

| It's really not uncommon for people (attending or not) to send gifts in advance to the couple's house. The more gifts that people bring to the actual wedding, the more that has to be moved back to their house after the wedding. Since a lot of couples leave the wedding, head right to a hotel, and leave from the hotel for their honeymoon the next day, it's a friend or family member responsible for transporting all the gifts brought to the wedding, which means the gifts realistically may not be opened until after they return from their honeymoon (assuming they take one). I think you'd be fine giving it to her before the wedding.

| I think when to deliver the gift can vary. If nothing else, check with her mom and see what they would prefer. Could be it would be easier if gifts were given to the bride beforehand sometime because of space issues at the wedding/reception site or they might just prefer to have gifts delivered ahead of time as someone else previously mentioned, so they can have time to appreciate them. Mom or maid/matron of honor would probably be the best to advise you. |

| I'm making a memory book. I did a cross stitch of their "logo" their initials intertwined and two birds holding them up, and then their names and the date underneath. Then I'm gonna put it on the album and cover it in silk hopefully if I can find the right shade. Their wedding is kind of vintage theme not frilly fufu, so I hope it will turn out nice.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Maybe try that Dryel stuff? It's a "dry cleaning" product that works in your dryer. That is if it's able to go in a dryer. Maybe someone else will have another idea I hope you're able to get it clean!
