    Should I have a table designated for wedding gifts at my reception or should I expect all of my gifts to be given to me at my bridal showers, sent to my house, etc.?

    I would have something, that way your guests don't have to keep track of their gift all night if they end up bringing one. Plus, card boxes are pretty common to have for people who bring cards or gift money at weddings.

    I would assume you chould have something. That way you can put your card box on it and the guest can be free of carrying your new 12 piece cookware set around with them...

    Yea, I think there definitely needs to be a designated area at the reception. I've never been to a reception that didn't have one?

    If you don't have one guests will be pestering someone to take custody of their gift- whomever they know- your parents, his parents, the two of you.

    It's far easier to have a table and someone designated with the repsonsibility of getting the gifts and the cards transported safely home from the reception.

    Make sure someone takes a roll of tape to the reception so cards can be securely taped to the gift before they are transported. It is a real hassle trying to match up gifts and cards that get separated.
