Or should it go to both the bride and the groom's homes?

Or viceversa, if the groom's paying for the whole party etc. should the gifts be sent to his home?

it doesnt matter who is paying for anything. its a wedding. if you or whomever is getting married is still concerned about whos money is whos then you/they should not be getting married.

Usually these days people send it wherever it is most convenient. You really only put one address for all the gifts to be sent. My wedding gifts came to my house just because my dad has a home business and he was here to receive the gifts that came during the day. So whatever ends up being most convenient for you, I don't think there is a lot of etiquette involved in where the gifts are sent. Hope that helped!

The gifts should be sent to the bride AND groom, as once they are married I would assume they are living together. The gifts should be sent after the wedding.

It has NOTHING to do with who pays for the wedding.
When you register, the store will ask for an address. The gifts will be addressed to the bride and groom, and go to whatever address is listed. You may have them going to one of your parents homes, you may have them going to an aunt or uncle. Just be sure that they're going to a home that will be secure...where someone can sign for them if needed. Also, somewhere that has plenty of room for them
Good luck.

If you're buying something off a registry, they usually have a "ship to" address on them, and will take care of the shipping for you--which is yet another reason to buy gifts off the registry!!! :-) If you're buying something else, you probably should send it addressed to the bride and groom, to the return address on the invite. When I got married though, my husband got stuff at his apartment, I got stuff at my parents house, and we got stuff sent to his parents house, we wound up getting it all together in the end.

It doesn't matter because if the wedding ends up not happening, you are supposed to return all the gifts to who sent them to you. Generally, they go to whoever is going to be responsible for them until the wedding because you aren't supposed to use them until after you get married. It's considered bad luck. It doesn't matter who is paying for the wedding. The gifts are for both of you.

The address that is the return address on the invitations, the address that RSVPs go to, and the address that gifts should be sent to before the wedding should all be the SAME.
After the wedding they should go to the couple's home.

all gifts go to the bride's home no matter who is paying guests usually do not even know the personal financial arrangements of the families

Well, if she is registered- it will actually tell you were they would prefer to have the gifts sent. If not- send it to the person you know the best. If you know both people equally- then it normally goes to the bride.
Good Luck!

the gifts should be sent to ONE address to avoid confusion
the bride should get them at her home or her parents' home
