Do people bring cards to the wedding anymore?
I haven’t been to a wedding in many years but we have 3 of them this summer. Each of them will be a high society event. Think: black tie, sit down dinner at a Country Club/The Four Seasons/The Ritz. I just attended the first of the three and brought a wedding card with money in it. There was no box for envelopes or table for gifts. So I discreetly asked someone (who appeared to be ‘in charge’) where I could put my envelope and she discreetly told me that people usually don’t bring gifts/cards to the actually wedding but that she would take it from me and make sure that the bride/groom received it. (I checked later, and yes, they got the envelope). Did I do a major faux-pas for such a grand event? What should I have done? Does everyone just contribute online to the honeymoon fund these days?
