At most weddings I've been to, I given presentation whether it was given directly to the couple (in a card) while they stood in a line and sometimes it was done more discreetly and there was a basket that you placed the card into. I've also seen mailbox like things so only the card can go in and you need a key to open it On some wedding invitations I've seen the word "presentation" written at the bottom and on other ones there was nothing written. I've been told that you have to write "presentation" if you expect to get money but I've also been told the opposite and that people just automatically know to bring a card with money AKA presentation. I've never really seen gifts brought to the wedding but instead were given during the bridal shower. I'm getting married this September and we're not having a bridal shower and in my opinion I think it is tacky to write "presentation" on the invitation. I personally don't overly care about the money or gifts since we're already established and have been on our own for years. I guess my question is, should I have a table set a side for gifts and a basket placed on it so if people brought something?
--------------------
Yes, have a gift table and a basket for any envelope gifts if any. Do not write "presentation" or anything like that on the invitation, 99% of people gift at weddings, so it is not really necessary to write anything. The bridal shower and the wedding are two separate wedding events, so you may get two different gifts: one for the shower and one for the wedding. If you have more than you can handle, then decline any offers fro showers and have a bridal tea or luncheon instead. Good luck
