What is proper wedding protocol/etiquette for a foreign wedding?
July 29th, 2010
scott p asked:
I am going to a wedding in France in August. We are all Americans and as are the Bride and Groom. The couple wanted to get married in France and invite a very small number of family and very close friends.
What is the proper protocol for gifts? Since we are all making the trip, (including most expenses) are the guests going to France for the actual wedding expected to give a gift? Or in this case, is the gift the fact that we are all making the effort and spending the money to get to France for the wedding?
Please, we need some insight and advice.
