If I have already purchased a present for a friend%26#039;s wedding via the wedding registry, should I also get the flowers?
I read somewhere that it%26#039;s not appropriate to give flowers (especially at the church) since it may be not convenient for the bride and the groom to transport the flowers from the church.
But somehow it feels weird to come to a wedding with empty hands, even if the present was already sent to the newlyweds....
Should I buy flowers for wedding if I already have sent a present ?
In todays society, wedding eddiquete is not so black and white.
Who pays for what, the format of the wedding, the gift registry - its all changing. It is an indivual choice either for the bride and groom or the guests.
At the end of the day, it is your choice. If you would feel more comfortable to buy flowers as well, do so. If you feel like the bride and groom are not fussy in that respect, then dont worry, save the money and worry.
Try to interpret how the bride and groom feel. They have set up a registry so that suggests that they have particular things they would prefer and dont really want lots of random gifts. So they probably wont worry about not receiving flowers on the day - as you said it may be inconvenient to handle. Specially if the flowers might stain the dress.
Why dont you go for one of those cards that dangle from ribbon that you slip on the wrist of the bride? They dont have to worry about it then as it just wraps around the wrist and wont get in the way? Plus that way you can write a little note on it for keepsake.
Do what is most comfortable to you, but remember times are changing and everyone seems to take tradition vs modern very different.
Reply:No need to bring flowers if you have already sent the gift.
Reply:If you feel weird going empty handed take a card. You have already sent the gift.
Reply:It%26#039;s not necessary. Flowers are ready purchased for the wedding. If you have sent a present already then it is ok to come empty handed.
Reply:just bring a card
Reply:I think you should just bring a card, maybe you can put a poem inside or something, but you%26#039;ve already sent a gift, so you%26#039;re all set! Most people do the same, so there is no need for flowers. The couple may be so involved in getting settled into their home and figuring out what to do with all their gifts and packing that they may not have time to appreciate flowers, although they are a beautiful gesture!
Just hold your handbag in one hand and a cocktail in another... you won%26#039;t be empty-handed then! :)
Reply:NO YOU DON%26#039;T HAVE TO . BUT IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT, GO AHEAD. A WEDDING CAN NEVER HAVE TO MANY FLOWERS ! MAY BE IN A BASKET , IT%26#039;S EASIER TO CARRY.

Reply:If you feel truly out of place coming empty handed bring a really nice card. No one will know if there is a cash gift in there and you can feel like you have something to leave on the gift table.
Save the flowers for their first born child!
Reply:As the mother of the bride last month, I beg you, go to the wedding empty handed. It is the family of the bride/groom who have to load everything brought to the wedding in their vehicles and get them to the home of the new couple, who may be on their honeymoon for a week or two. You sent a gift ahead of time (bless you), and nothing else but your presence at their special day is necessary!
