Now if I can't attend the wedding, I will usually mail the wedding gift to the receiving address.

Oh, but then they get you with the baby years too -- gift for baby shower, gift when baby arrives... (at least for close friends, acquaintances get just one or the other).

Wow. I never heard of giving more than one gift. Then again, I have only attended a few work related bridal showers (kind of mandatory). However; in college, a good friend from my hometown was getting married that summer and some of our mutual friends were unable to attend her wedding. So I hosted what I thought was simply a "Stock the Bar" party. I was later informed that I was actually hosting a co-ed bridal shower and as such, had to follow certain bridal shower protocol. Such as when the bride opens her gifts, I had to write down what she said. And this represented what she was supposed to say on her wedding night.
I have never blushed so much in my life. Nor have I seem so many guys hit the "punch" more than at that party.
