Having picked up an unusual gift for a young couple, many guests are faced with ignorance of the process of the sacrament of weddings. The basics, of course, are known to everyone, but only those who have attended such an event at least once know when to give gifts. In modern weddings, weddings are held after the state ceremony. A young family goes to church with a marriage certificate from the registry office. It happens that the wedding takes place on another day, and even after several years of marriage. But these nuances in no way affect the procedure for presenting gifts.

So, if the wedding event takes place on the same day as the wedding, then invited guests can give only one gift. In this case, parents will have to look for presents for both events. After official ceremonies, the newlyweds are congratulated outside the temple of God, or rather, during the festive meal.
