Wedding gift:

Wedding gifts are given to the couple to help them start married life out on the right foot.

Are gifts required?

When you receive a wedding invitation, it is customary to send a gift, whether or not you are able to attend. A gift is a great way to express best wishes to the couple for a long and happy life together. Depending on your relationship with the couple, the gift can be small or something more substantial. A gift should be a token of affection, and is not intended to pay for the wedding. Contrary to popular belief, the value of the gift is not determined by calculating the amount of money spent on the reception divided by the number of guests.
