Wedding Gift Lists
The circumstances and age of the bride and groom often influence the choice of wedding list and presents. A young couple setting up home will have different priorities to those of an older, established couple.
The wedding list must be set up before the invitations are sent out so that details can be included. There are numerous options on offer, from the traditional department store list to financial contributions to the honeymoon via a travel agency. Equally, some couples choose not to have a gift list or to make charitable donations instead.
