Bring a card?

FI's Cousin is getting married next weekend and he ordered a gift from their registry and had it shipped to the address listed on the registry. He (for some reason) chose not to include a card in the process. We got a text from the couple a few nights ago saying "We just opened your gift, we love it thanks!".

Should we still bring a card to the wedding?

  • You don't have to but it would very nice
  • I always bring a card to a wedding.  I think it's a nice keepsake for the bride and groom.

    I always bring a card. Those "leave a message" boxes when you send a gift never seem to give you enough available text to really say much at all. Plus I guess I'm just sentimental, I kept all of the cards from our wedding. It was fun to re-read them all when we were storing away the small wedding keepsakes we held on to.



  • Bring a card.  It's a thoughtful gesture that costs you very little.  Plus it personalizes the rather-impersonal delivery of the gift.  (I am not criticizing in the slightest--the logistics of having the item shipped directly to them from the seller make sense.  But it is still much less personal to receive a shipping box from a retailer than it is to have a friend hand you a present in person that they wrapped themselves.)

    Yes, I would still give a card. The personal note will be appreciated. Those comment boxes that you can type a message into when you ship a gift are usually pretty limited, and I also feel the message is more personal when you see it hand written.
  • It doesn't matter one way or another, but I would.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14
