In fact, it is easier on the newlyweds if they aren't asking friends and family to shuffle car loads of gifts home while they are on their honeymoon. Send a gift before or after the wedding. Online registries will now even postpone deliveries while the couple is on the honeymoon. Plus, the couple won't have to worry about cards getting mixed up on the gifts during the transport from reception to home. (Nothing is worse than sending Aunt Sue a thank you for the fondue set, when she actually gave you the crock pot.) • Do not congratulate a couple on their engagement on Facebook until they have time to spread the news personally to the people they want to tell. Be mindful about posting photos from the wedding, depending on how well you know the couple. In both of these cases, if you see someone who is close to the couple do so, it is probably OK to go ahead. Follow the directions for the RSVP, and do so in a timely manner. For example, if there is an enclosed RSVP card, do not assume that a text or email will suffice. Send in the card. Anabell Dickson Robinson and David Robinson. Photography by Steve Schroeder.
