Giving a wedding gift to the happy couple seems like a no-brainer, right? But you\u2019d be surprised at how often guests get it wrong. Birkat Elyon<\/a> has been around weddings for decades, supplying couples with high-quality cubic zirconia wedding rings<\/a>; here are our tips for avoiding wedding gift goofs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOT SENDING A GIFT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etiquette dictates that if you say \u201cyes\u201d to attending the wedding, a gift is in order. But you don\u2019t have to go overboard, especially if it\u2019s a destination wedding that you\u2019ve already spent money on. It\u2019s the gesture that counts. If you\u2019re not attending, think about how well you know the couple and adjust accordingly: close friends or family members deserve a gift, but if you don\u2019t know the couple all that well, send a card offering to spring for a round of drinks at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BEING LATE WITH THE GIFT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thinking has often been that you have up to a year after the wedding to send a gift. However, modern manners dictate that no later than three months is better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINGING YOUR GIFT TO THE WEDDING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Times have changed. Many couples prefer receiving their gift before or after the wedding so that they don\u2019t have the hassle of transporting it home after the event. This is especially true with destination weddings. Fortunately, most online gift registries allow you to ship your gift directly to the couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOT STICKING TO THE GIFT REGISTRY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, you\u2019ve dawdled and now it looks like all the \u201cgood\u201d gifts on the registry are gone. Don\u2019t make the mistake of opting for something on your own; the couple has put a lot of thought into their gift list, and even if you just send them the seemingly boring bathmats that they requested, they\u2019ll be very happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to wedding gifts, the cost isn\u2019t the point; you can stick to your budget and still offer congratulations to the newlyweds. Birkat Elyon<\/a> has a similar philosophy with its beautiful cubic zirconia jewelry. It allows you to sport eye-popping rings<\/a>, necklaces<\/a>, earrings<\/a>, and more but it\u2019s far more affordable and worry-free than \u201cthe real thing,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
