    When is the appropriate time to give your recpetion hostesses (I have 2) a thank you gift?  I got them both a beautiful wood covered journal and will get them a $10.00 gift card to their favorite lunch spots.  Is this gift okay?  They are helping direct the guests to their reception seats, assisting with the gift table, and guest book.

    Also, I have 2 of my fiance's cousins who are helping (Mistress of Ceremonies stuff), that are assisting us with wedding details and day of stuff that have insisted "Don't give me a gift.  Me helping you is my wedding gift to you both".  Do I still get them something?  They are both sensitive to our small budget and insist we use the money towards other things.  I asked the previously mentioned hostesses to assist me.

    Any thoughts?  Thanks for your help!

    Does 10 bucks cover an lunch or two?  If so, yes, I think you are fine.  A nice bottle of wine or flowers is also cheap if you are looking to supplement.

    LOL!!  I meant $10 each to like Jason's Deli, Panera, etc...  They are co-workers but I wanted to give them a little something.
