What is the basic etiquette surrounding wedding gifts?

Wedding Gift Etiquette

A little note on wedding gift etiquette:

* Obviously you can't give more than you can afford, but you should try to give as much to the new couple as they are spending on you to have them at your wedding. Yes, you should factor in your guest when you are calculating this equation.
* You should also do your best to give your gift within a month of the event. Technically, you do have a year, but if you are a procrastinator, you may forget and then you will just end up feeling guilty.
* If you are a friend of the bride and groom, you may end up at the batchelor(ette) parties, and bridal showers and you should bring a gift or be prepared to spend money at each event.
* If you don't have a lot of money, don't worry, spend what you can and be sure to attach a meaningful card. Your friend should consider your presence as a wonderful gift.
