take it with you so that you can see the expression on their faces when they open the gifts.

Oh, it's way better to send it. This way, the couple's family won't have to transport it back to the house. There is enough stress at a reception! It would be different if the couple opened the presents at the reception (like a shower).
It is means you don't have to carry it to the reception!
Also, if you send it ahead of time, many famlies display the gifts in their homes before the wedding day.
It also gives the bride a chance to write some thank you cards before the big event so she isn't overwhelmed afterward.

Generally, wedding gifts should be delivered to the bride's home or to the home of her parents before the wedding, addressed to the bride. When gifts are sent after the wedding, they are sent to the couple at their new address. When a couple is living together before the wedding, gifts are either sent to them at their home address or to the bride's parents if they are hosting the wedding. The circumstances are the guide.
If possible, send your gift to the couple before or after the wedding rather than bringing it to the ceremony or reception because it can be difficult for family members to transport all of the gifts after the event. In addition, gifts and cards can get lost or stolen at weddings.

Be nice and send them to the Bride's house. They have enough to do on the day of the wedding without keeping track of them and arranging to have them taken home. It will be appreciated.
make sure you send it a month a ahead because they have a lot to do the day of the wedding.

Ask for thei address and mail the gift. Be sure to include a gift message saying it's from you though. Otherwise, how would they know who it's from. =) Bringing the gift to their wedding is a hassle for you and them. You have to bring it, they have to find a way to bring it home.

It is proper etiquette to send the gift to the bride's house. This is the appropiate thing to do.

my daughter just got married and people brought them to the wedding and placed them on a designated table. They were not opened until after the honeymoon

What would be appropiate, would be to bring the gift to the wedding.
