POLL: Wedding gift giving

[Deleted]

I would default to 2 gifts. But I see no problem with just doing 1 if that's what you could afford. We had a number of people, for example, who didn't attend the wedding but gave a large-ish shower gift. Seems fine to me.

I do a physical gift at the shower, and $$$ at the wedding

I do a gift for the shower and I bring a gift to the wedding if the wedding is local to the couple's home. If it's destination, I mail the wedding gift.

I split my budget and do one for the shower and one for the wedding.

This.  And sometimes it's $$ for the wedding, sometimes a gift, but it's still all out of an overall budget for that wedding.

I buy a gift for the shower and bring a check in a card to the wedding.

Depends on what I end up getting - sometimes I spring for one big gift, sometimes I break it down to two gifts

How much I like the couple and the level of bridezillism also plays into this decision

Typically the showers I'm invited to are family or very close friends, so I have increased my overall gift budget a little bit from a wedding where I only go to the wedding. I usually give either 2 separate gifts or a gift at the shower and money at the wedding.

Small gift to shower and send gift for the wedding . I would never ever bring a physical gift to the wedding. I had never heard of that until the knot

Gift off registry for shower
$$ for wedding

It depends on the couple, how far we have to travel, and our budget. I don't necessarily do the same for everyone.
