Should I take a gift to Mexico for their actual wedding, or would it be okay to leave it until they do the reception at home? A lot of people can't afford the wedding and will just be going to the reception at home, and I'm sure they will have gift tables set up there for all of those people. I feel it might be more of a hassle to take gifts to Mexico, because if everyone does that, how do they bring it all back? Maybe we could just take it over to their house sometime before or after the wedding...
Lol I had a simple traditional wedding, and I feel like the destination wedding might be easier for the bride and groom, but so much harder for the guests!!! My grandma and my parents have both asked me what to do about gifts. My grandma is using all of her savings to go so I told her that I'm sure going there will be enough of a gift for them. But on the other hand, she talked to my brother's fiance and asked if they know what they want for wedding gifts and she said they hadn't decided yet. So it almost sounds like they are expecting gifts from everyone as well. |
You can have the gift sent to their house before the wedding, or you have up to one year (if I remember correctly) after the wedding to send something. I would not bring the gift to Mexico. hard for you and hard for them to bring it back. Unless it's cash.
