I've been invited to a wedding and this is the second marriage for the bride. I was curious if it is appropriate to take a gift on the second go around?

no body should "request" gifts. She can register & people can choose to give or not. That's up to the giver. Besides, it may be the grooms first time.

It is not appropriate to "request" gifts at all, no matter if it's your first, second or tenth marriage. However, it is appropriate to bring a gift when you're invited to the wedding - again, it does not matter if it's their first marriage or the 10th. A wedding is a celebration of this particular union, and it's in good taste to give a gift for this occasion.

It's not appropriate to request gifts at any marriage whether it be the first or the fifth. You should take a gift, it's a wedding.

She shouldn't be requesting gifts, but yes, it's appropriate to take one. If she has a house and it's all set up, you could do something like get her a gift card so they can go for dinner at a nice restaurant.

i'm yet another one chiming in that this might properly be a great way too lots for a 2nd bride. I do consider Seafoam that a small registry might properly be a stable thought, yet this feels like a lavish journey, and that isn't appropriate for 2nd time brides, for the comparable reason they do no longer (or shouldn't) get showers. it is not in conserving with the full custom of a marriage and what it ability, in spite of what Ivana Trump does.

No, ettiquette rules say that this is completely inappropriate. For a second wedding, no gifts should be "requested". In other words, a registry list would be inappropriate and tacky. However, I am sure that most people will give a small monetary gift to help the bride and groom get get started on their new life together. If it is the first marriage for the groom, I am sure those people will give gifts as they have not already given one the first time around.
The same rule applies to baby showers. They should only be given for the first baby.

It's inappropriate for any bride to request gifts. Taking a gift is your choice.

I don't think you should request any gifts for a second wedding. For the first one it was okay to have registry. I think people will bring something regardless. I have never gone to any wedding without sending a gift or bringing one.

Give a gift if you like, though they are never required and it is up to the guest if they wish to give a gift, first/second marriage or not.

nothing wrong with it. I wouldn't request gifts, but I think I know what you meant: if you get asked what kind of gifts you would prefer, absolutely make your requests.
You can register somewhere online what gifts you would prefer, and add the web link to your invitations.

Sure its appropriate - Its a wedding isn't it? I wouldn't give them a usual gift though. Think outside the box...
