Gift etiquette for evening wedding do

9 replies

DH and I have been invited to an evening do after a wedding. The wedding is very low key, I think few have been invited and the evening do is a party at a bar, there will be a lot of people there. No mention of gifts on the very casual invitation. What would you say is the etiquette here?

If you want to give a wedding present, it’s better to send it to the house before the wedding.
I might just send a card.

Voucher or cash in a card or card & bottle of champagne. DH and I got a couple of lovely restaurant vouchers from our evening wedding guests & the cards said 'have a date on us' type thing. Very sweet & a nice treat on the wedding 'come down'

I'd take a nice bottle of fizz.

Restaurant vouchers would be perfect, of course! Thank you

If it's a sit down meal or decent buffet I'd take a bottle of champagne and a £20 in a card. We got married abroad and had a party when we got back an most people put around £20-60 in a card and some got us champagne instead or as well.

I try an contribute a little to ward the cost of hosting so if it's a cash bar and no food I'd just her a nice champagne.

Many will disagree!

£25pp for evening do. £50pp for full day. Cash or decent voucher (eg something you know they’ll use).

Card with nice message, some John Lewis vouchers , give it to them at the event or better still post it to them just after with a thank you note.
