[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is probably a silly question and I'm sure I'm overthinking - but please help.

When your child gets married and you want to gift the new couple a sizable monetary gift (well...maybe not to DCUM lol)...when exactly does the transaction take place?

I feel like the wedding will be busy busy busy and awkward - I don't need the entire wedding to witness or anything.

Do I pull them aside on rehearsal dinner night? Do I do it after the ceremony or reception? I've never been in this situation or witnessed it so I'm not sure the best - and easiest approach that won't take away from their day.[/quote]

I would tell them that you want to give them a wedding gift but that you want to do that once they come back from the honeymoon so that it is not hectic and when you can take them both out for dinner.   That way they know that the gift is coming and it gives you a chance to spend time with them and give them the gift in a more serene way.

Otherwise, you can take them both for dinner BEFORE the wedding, or even have them over for a meal or tea and give them the gift before the wedding.  Make the check out to your child though.  :-)[/quote]
