My daughters wedding was postponed 3 weeks before the date. She is still seeing her fiance but the wedding date has not been rescheduled. It has been 1 month since the original date, what does she do with the shower gifts. Is there a rule about how long she can hold on to them if there is a chance to reschedule their wedding? Do we give it until the end of the year at least? Thank You

Dear Anne,

They should return the gifts as soon as possible unless they reschedule right away. There is no time limit for keeping them, as the gifts were given on the premise that they were getting married very soon.

Best wishes,
