     giving wedding gifts from each family member  

My 2 older college children, who are still living at home, received separate invitations (with a guest) to my nephew's wedding. I was only giving one envelope from all of us. My husband thinks that they should give separate cards because they were invited seperately. What should we do?

Dear Invitations,

Your children would send formal responses. These would be sent separately since they were invited separately.

Best wishes,

From your post it sounds as if you are asking about the response card, because of the "envelope" reference. I'm sorry that I didn't notice your subject line. If you and your children are sending gifts, the gifts should be sent separately. Or, if you are buying one gift together, it could be sent in one package.

It sounds as if you are just sending a card. So, if you are sending just a card, all of you should send a separate card since all of you were invited separately.

I guess my question was confusing. It was not about the response card, that was done separately. What I wanted to know was should they give separate wedding gifts versus one gift from the whole family since they are still students and are living at home.

If you want to give a group gift that is fine. Many families do this. It is not a problem.

It is wonderful that your children are focusing on their education. You must be proud.
