Catrina Money Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 We have received an invitation to our French neighbours wedding (church and vin d'honneur only). Can anyone advise me what is considered to be correct as regards a present? The couple already live together in their own home, with their child and I understand it is acceptable to give money or a cheque in this situation.

Chancer Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Yes, money or a cheque to what you reckon the cost to them per head of entertaining you or your percieved value.Scrap that! (I must learn to read properly) if its just the church and vin d'honneur I am not sure, best to wait for other views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitway Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 There is usually a decorated box with a slot cut in it for people to put an envelope with either cash or a cheque in. You could put a nice card in it too if you wish, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
