[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We sent a wedding gift off the registry a month or two before the wedding (about $250). Got a thank you card saying "Thank you for the shower gift. Look forward to seeing you at the wedding."

Didn't think much of it, wedding came and went, now a month later we got a text from mother of the bride saying "Bride and groom got back from Aruba. They were doing their thank you notes but didn't see a card from you in the card box. There may have been a mistake so we wanted to check with you."

Did we make a mistake sending the wedding gift too early? Was it a faux pas not to bring a card for the card box? Is that a regional/cultural thing we might have missed, southerner marrying into big NY Italian family? They did have a big card box at the reception, no gift table that I saw. We just did the registry after getting the invitation since traveling with a baby we didn't want to transport a gift.[/quote]

I'm from NY, and we didn't receive one actual "gift" for the wedding -- strictly money/checks in envelopes.

Everything on the registry was purchased for our wedding shower.
Sending ANY gift a month or two before the wedding is going to be assumed as a shower gift (especially if the gift came within a week or two before or after the actual shower).

You should have sent the gift 7-10 days before the wedding -- two months before the wedding is WAY early to send a gift and it not be confused.

You can see why they'd assume it was a shower gift, right?
