My fiance and I are having a small wedding and only have my Maid of Honour and his Best Man standing up with us. I've been putting together their gifts, but I'm not quite sure when I'm supposed to give the gifts to them.
The MOH lives nearby to me, and is over all the time helping with the wedding plans, but I don't want to give her the gift at home if I should be giving it to her at a particular function (like the shower or bachelorette party). And the Best Man lives out of town and won't be here for most of the gatherings leading up to the wedding, so the first time the MOH and Best Man would be together would be at the wedding itself.
Is there a particular time or place that we should give the gifts to our attendants? How are these things handled traditionally?
I was originally planning on presenting my MOH with her gift at the bridal shower, but that's nearly 2 months before the wedding and I wasn't sure if that would be considered too far in advance.
At my mother's wedding, they gave their attendants their gifts at the rehersal dinner, but we aren't having a rehersal dinner, so we aren't sure how far in advance to give the gifts or where.
Any suggestions or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hello SherryBerry,
If you are having a rehearsal dinner that is the time that the attendants gifts are traditionally given. Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com
