i am gettin married in h k my friends (here) and my parents will attend. but most of my friends and family in the US won’t attend. i will send wedding announcements to everyone. would it be unacceptable to tell them how to send me gifts? should i still register at a popular retail superstore like wal-mart, kmart ect… does wal-mart let you register your wedding online? what places can i register online for my wedding?

I have recently re-connected with some cousins, and I would like to invite them to my wedding. However, since we had been out of touch for so long, I don’t expect them to get us a wedding gift, but I think they would feel obligated when they receive the invitation. I know it’s tacky to make any mention of gifts on an invitation, so I don’t know if I should email them or something? That might be tacky, too. Any ideas? Thanks for any help!

Should people always give a gift at a wedding? What is considered the standard? Is it normal still normal for anyone invited to give something? And “guests have a year”- does that still apply today?

My wedding is being held on the west coast and I live on the east coast, and want to know how to state in the invitation to only mail wedding gifts to my residence and not bring them to the reception. Any ideas?

I just gave the bride a $135 gift at the shower. Am I supposed to give money as well at the wedding??
I am bringing a guest, and I believe it is approximately $50/head.
Plus, it is being held 6 hours away from where I live so I have to book 2 nights stay at a hotel which is extra $$$.
