wedding gift

There are so many potential pitfalls for engaged couples and their guests around wedding gifts.  

Did you know that kitchen knives, mirrors umbrellas, and anything secondhand or re-gifted could not only be considered a little strange, but also bad luck for the couple getting married? 

Then there are the conflicting values between different cultures.

In the United States asking for money as a wedding gift can still be interpreted as a bit tacky. Whereas in most European and Asian cultures, the gift of money is essential, and in fact, it's considered disrespectful to not give the appropriate amount, depending on your social standing and your closeness to the couple getting married. 

In this episode, I share: 

• what wedding gift etiquette looked like in the past,
• plus 4 easy steps to making sure you get what you want, how you want it, communicate your wishes to your family and friends and also thank them in a reasonable timeframe for their contributions.
