Wedding Etiquette Forum

quick etiquette question

FI and I spent Christmas out of state with my family, and ended up sleeping at my Godmother's house. I already put a thank you in the mail for her hospitality.

Then, this afternoon, she called and said that since she is my godmother, she felt like she should pay for part of my wedding, in addition to a gift. I told her that we had it covered (FI and I are planning what we can afford), but she said that her Godmother had paid for her bouquet, so she and my uncle (Godfather) would like to pay for the flowers for our wedding. I graciously accepted and she gave me a budget, which I will probably only use 25% of. She was so excited to be able to contribute to our day, she got all giggly.

So my question is, do we send another thank you now for the flower budget, or do I wait until she actually gives us the money? I have no doubt that she is good for it.

  • I'd wait until the money was actually in hand.

  • I would wait and possibly send a small gift along with a card, nothing crazy but something sweet and thoughtful would be nice. Thats a very nice thing of her to do!
  • Thanks ladies. I think I will wait until we have more plans and costs firmed up and money on it way. I'm not changing the plans, it will just be saving us that much money.

    I thought it would be weird for her to get 2 thank you notes in the mail a day apart.. kind of like overkill..

  • I would wait until it's in hand. My brother and SIL bought our cake; I sent them a thank you note after the wedding raving about how delicious it was and how they had totally made our day by giving us that cake.
