How long is it OK to take to give a wedding gift after the wedding?

Answer 1

I've always heard a year.

Answer 2

I went to the site of Emily Post (One of the famous etiquette geniuses) and they said:
How soon should I send a gift?
Preferably, send the gift to the bride before the wedding or to the couple soon thereafter. In some regions gifts are brought to the reception and placed on a special table. Contrary to a current rumor that you have a year to send a gift, it really should be sent right away or within three months of the wedding.

Answer 3

lololol judging from the percentage of marriage failures these days, wait a couple of years and there is a fifty-fifty chance you can save yourself the trouble of sending one at all.
Seriously though, I think it would look pretty weird to be sending somebody a wedding gift after they had already been married several weeks. If you are intending to give a gift, do it directly. If you can't afford what you'd have liked to give them, just send a token of your well-wishes, and remember that it is, after all, the thought that matters, not the monetary value.

Answer 4

You should give th gift on the wedding. A year at the most...but it better be good.

Answer 5

I think you have a year - but I wouldn't wait that long- I'd say 3-6 months

Answer 6

three months. My neighbor went on a two month honeymoon and the gifts came for a month afterward.

Answer 7

3 months. A year is a myth, and very disrespectful.

Answer 8

If this couple mean something to you then they wont care how long you take--really--because its the nice act of giving--and they will appreciate it regardless--
