Re: Wedding Gifts... Where and When Opened
Yea, in this area its usually $$. Outside of NY its different.
We decided that we will leave for our HM on Monday as opposed to Sunday, so we can have Sunday to relax and open gifts then.

Re: Wedding Gifts... Where and When Opened
Mom, you are so funny!!!!!!! 
That must have been a 1970s thing to do with opening up the gifts at the actual reception!!
My FH's parents told me they used to have these stir sticks that they would give people for their drinks that had little bells in them at the top. The guests would ring them for the couple to kiss and they had their names and wedding date on them. Apparently, these stir sticks for drinks were all the rage back then and everybody had them at weddings. Kind of interesting, huh?
What other 1970s wedding customs can you remember?
Luv ya,
Debi

I had a few OOT guest who counld not make it to my shower, bring gifts to the wedding instead or in addition to an envelope. Those gifts were opened the day after the wedding. We got married on a friday & did not leave for our honeymoon until Monday.
Yes!! I think that would account for most presents seen at the wedding reception. Or the guest that feels money is too impersonal.
