How do you hand out the wedding party gifts at the rehearsal?
We're getting married next week, and we plan to give our 5 bridesmaids, 5 groomsmen, grandparents and parents their gifts at the rehearsal dinner...We hare having a large rehearsal with about 40 people (lots of out of towners) so I am not sure how to go about handing the gifts out...Do I announce that we are handing them out? Do I give them to the wedding party during dinner, before dinner, after dinner? Do I have to make a formal toast?
Usually, the bride and groom just give the gifts to everyone at the same time at the rehearsal dinner. A speech or announcement is not necessary.
Personally, I would rather do it in a private moment. I feel awkward giving presents in a room full of people who arent receiving a present. My bridesmaids were given their gifts the morning of the wedding, when we were getting dressed.
At a rehearsal dinner I recently attended (I was not in the bridal party, I was one of the out of towners), there were no gifts given. The bride and groom must have done that at another time.
