I'm going to my friend's wedding this Sunday and I have a gift. There's a reception after the wedding. I'm not familiar with American (& Christian) wedding customs, so when do I give him the gift? I'm thinking at the reception, but I don't know for sure.

Also, is a black suit (with a white shirt + tie) appropriate attire for a wedding or should I go with something different?

Black suit is fine. Take the gift with you to the reception.

Also, it's an American custom to pat the bride's ass, as well as the bridesmaid's, in the reception line for good luck.

:p

While I'm friends with the bride as well, I don't think my buddy will appreciate the gesture.

I'll go for the bridesmaid. :laugh:

There is usually a place to set your gift at the reception. Just leave it there and you will be fine.
Black suit is completely acceptable.


Have fun!!!
