    Is it rude to give a late wedding gift?

    how late is late?  i've heard and read that giving a gift up to a year after the wedding is okay etiquette-wise - personally, i dont know that id be offended by a late gift at all, so i would say go for it!

    Well my cousin got married today (she lives in a different state) I was unable to go and honestly haven't had the money. I am going to send it to her this weekend since it is pay day and all. I don't think she'd mind but I'm kind of embarrassedEmbarassed

    ohhh if its that close, i would def say just send it - no need to be embarassed, either!  honestly, ive gone longer than that for presents because of the financial squeeze, and it never seems to be as big a deal as ive made it up to be in my head

    Yeah, I don't think you should be worried or embarassed at all. That is pretty darn close to the wedding, and as you didn't attend, it wasn't as if there was a particular time you could have given her the gift.

    Go for it.

    Better late than never.   I wouldn't think twice about it!

    I think a late wedding gift is a thoughtful gesture. Better than no acknowledgment for sure. I wouldn't mind it at all.

    She most likely won't notice that it's late, because if she's doing any kind of honeymoon then it will be right on time and if nothing else I'm sure there are some other gifts coming in just as "late" as yours if not later.
