Wedding Gifts

As you receive your wedding gifts, be sure to keep an account of who gave you what. Use the card file that was described under "Guest Lists", so you can keep track of the gifts and Thank You notes. Also, try to set aside an area in your home where you can display some of them. You don't need to display all of the china, but at least one place setting. It is also very important, that as more and more gifts arrive, that you contact your homeowner's insurance agent and have a "rider" added on to cover the wedding gifts. This is very inexpensive, since it is for only a short period of time. If you rent, you may be able to add it on to your parents policy. Make sure it will also cover the gifts received at the reception.

Today, more and more people bring their gifts to the ceremony or reception. Be sure to ask someone to handle the Guest Book and Gifts at the ceremony and reception. You should have a designated "Gift Table" at both, and make arrangements ahead of time for someone to transport the gifts from the ceremony site to the reception. Make sure your "Guest Book" attendant stays with the gifts at all times. Gifts can disappear from ceremonies and receptions if you do not take safeguards. You should arrange with your caterer or wedding consultant to have the gifts taken to a "secure" room during the reception, then transported home by your family or friends.

Make sure you get a bride's "money bag" or a "money holder" for the reception. Even if you don't like the way they look, you can have it on the table in front of you. Anytime you leave the table to dance or mingle give it to your mom or Maid of Honour or Best Man. Someone reliable, who won't leave it at the bar or on the table unattended.

Tiffany

 

Tiffany & Co. (NYSE: TIF) is a U.S. jewelry and silverware company founded by Charles Lewis Tiffany and Teddy Young in New York City in 1837 as a "stationery and fancy goods emporium".

The store initially sold a wide variety of stationery items, and operated as Tiffany, Young and Ellis in lower Manhattan. The name was shortened to Tiffany & Co in 1853 when Charles Tiffany took control, and the firm's emphasis on jewelry was established. Tiffany & Co. has since opened stores in major cities all over the world.

As part of its branding, the company is strongly associated with its Tiffany Blue color, which is a registered trademark.
