Well, these were some of the gift etiquette questions which are faced by either party. Trust me, even if they seem frivolous, for those in that situation it is a huge deal! But hey, if you are a clone of Jane Nichols from the movie 27 Dresses, or you know someone like that, well then, there would not be any problems whatsoever! As she will take care of everything! On a serious note, though, I would say that these are very few of the caboodle of wedding gift etiquette questions faced by all those involved in the whole wedding scene. It is especially for those who are getting married for the first (and hopefully last) time.
All in all it is an event out of which all of you can make a beautiful album of, in our memory. Because photographs get spoilt and hard disks get corrupted! This is where I wrap up, not the gifts but the questions!
