Send the gift to their home after the wedding. Wedding gifts should not be taken to the wedding or given before.

It really doesn't make a difference. For many years, wedding gifts were sent to the Bride's parents' home (where the Bride lived before she was married) before the wedding so the gifts could be put out on display but those days are GONE. You really don't hear of a Bride and Groom displaying their gifts anymore.
You have up to one year to present a wedding gift to a Bride and Groom so it really doesn't make a difference if you give it to them two weeks before the wedding or two weeks after the wedding.

I would give it before. Many people get gifts leading up to the wedding and I think that is a better idea so that they have time to accept the gift and thankyou for it before going on the honeymoon. ANd even send it o the house instead. Otherwise I would give it on his last day at work

May I suggest that you give the gift prior to the wedding. He will appreciate it because he will know that you are unable to attend but, he will feel great knowing that you have taken that special time to shop for them. They will also remember the gift more ~ as during the wedding it is often difficult to see all the presents until way later.
Anyway, go for it! :)

Generally, the wedding gift is sent to the bride's home or bride's parents' home prior to the wedding. In this case, it would be acceptable to deliver the gift to the groom before the wedding.

I think if his wedding in 2 weeks time & you can't attend, just give him a gift of a voucher so that it not obvious that you are bringing a big gift wrapped box.Just give it to him at work, since you will be away for that time, I think he wouldn't mind!That's just my own suggestion.

It depends on how close you are to your coworker. You don't HAVE to give him a present at all, unless you are close to him. I would suggest giving him the gift before the wedding but after work.

Mail a gift to his house or give a gift after the wedding. It would be best not to give it in the workplace.

You can send it any time before the wedding, if you send it afterwards, it is best to send it within three months, so if you get the opportunity to give the gift now, go ahead!

whilst it includes wedding ceremony presents, technically, the human beings getting married should not be those giving the presents. in case you (sense you) could supply presents, supply them basically to the marriage social gathering and the rest in trinkets and spot in case you will get it to have which potential. My chum did that at her wedding ceremony and everyone grow to be chuffed. (She is Russian, so that they had tiny wood matryoshkas as trinkets.(see hyperlink under)) If peope ask you what you need as a recent, then you certainly can say that money is often welcome. in case you propose on spending the money on stuff you decide on besides, (like kitchenware, furnishings, etc.) for once you progression right into a house/place of abode, then you certainly can initiate a marriage regirstry on line. maximum are many times loose. this way you get what you want. present registries artwork by utilising you the two going to a save, (or checking it out on line), scanning the product you want, and it promptly gets uploaded on your wedding ceremony checklist. You e mail the checklist on your travelers and that they purchase in spite of they chosen. The cool area is, if somebody offered you an merchandise, no one else could purchase it, so which you will no longer finally end up getting 3 toasters you probably did no longer even want before everything. (Con: the extra low value products bypass quickly, so if there is something too high priced, it is going to possibly no longer get offered, so optimistically you will get sufficient money to be waiting to purchase it your self.) in the event that they have not got wedding ceremony present registries, you additionally could make a wishlist. this is the comparable ingredient with a distinctive call and that i know for a actuality that many, if no longer maximum, merchants have those available on line. P.S. whilst money is given as a recent it is going to basically be from somebody older to somebody youthful, in any different case this is seen an insult.
