That way, they can take a break from packing to enjoy some relaxation and it won't just be another thing for them to pack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reception-months-after-wedding-gift#post-2522637 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 14:24:11 +0000 agold 2522637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd treat it as a wedding-type present and give the equivalent cash value with a card in an envelope. </p> <p>@BananaPancakes: Can you please tell me what winery you found that at?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reception-months-after-wedding-gift#post-2522633 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 14:18:37 +0000 BananaPancakes 2522633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had friends' who did something similar a few months after getting married in Hawaii. I ordered them a bottle of Pineapple Champagne from a winery in Maui (where they got married), and had it engraved. They opened it on their first anniversary. </p> <p>They were already a well-established couple and owned a home together and everything, so they really weren't expecting anything. Some people brought gifts and some didn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reception-months-after-wedding-gift#post-2522620 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 14:07:23 +0000 lamariniere 2522620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would give cash since they are moving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reception-months-after-wedding-gift#post-2522618 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 14:06:17 +0000 Raindrop 2522618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How close are you to these friends?</p> <p>That would be my main deciding factor on how much I would give. </p> <p>Also if I really counted it as a going away party too... would that be a double gift? I'm not sure.</p> <p>Also how fancy is this park reception? Sit down dinner?</p> <p>I'm going to assume these aren't close friends and you aren't planning to double it as a going away gift. Also if it is basically a big picnic and not a fancy sit down dinner. Then maybe 50-100 cash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reception-months-after-wedding-gift#post-2522492 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 12:47:21 +0000 snowjewelz 2522492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably spend $100 or less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reception-months-after-wedding-gift#post-2522487 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 12:41:52 +0000 Alba4 2522487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would spend @ $50. For full blown wedding receptions I usually give between $150-200. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reception-months-after-wedding-gift#post-2522463 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 12:24:31 +0000 lawbee11 2522463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Assuming they're not registered anywhere I would probably do cash/check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reception-months-after-wedding-gift#post-2522457 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 12:22:54 +0000 Bao 2522457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Friends of ours got married last summer with just a few close family members, and at the end of this month they are having a reception at a park. I think it's also a combined going away party since they are moving out of state this summer. It looks like it will be really low key, nothing fancy. What kind of gift should we give? How do we decide a price range? Or do we treat this like any other wedding reception? </p>
