I may have asked this last time I went to a wedding but I forget: Who do you make the gift check out too?

Like, you make it out to the couple naturally, but do you assume she is taking his last name? Or use her maiden name?

Responses:

Our bank took everything, including all of the ones made out to - kelly Mar 28, 14:09 2
- What about "Will"? -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 14:10 1
  - Those went in the account with her other husband. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 28, 14:12
In your case, the guy. - Spawn Mar 28, 14:09
both -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 13:55
google sez: just the groom, unless you're sure the bride is taking his name and/or they have a joint account. I'd write "congratulations x & y" - b. Mar 28, 13:42 1
- *nods* google agrees with me! -- nm - Andie Mar 28, 13:43

Make it out to the one you know. If they don't have a joint account it can be a hassle! - Andie Mar 28, 13:41 2
- I would like to edit my response above to replace "groom" with "one you know" - b. Mar 28, 13:43 1
  - and use her maiden name if it's a her. the bank will have that name on record. at least. -- nm - Andie Mar 28, 13:44
Why do you hate marriage equality, ty97! -- nm - oblique Mar 28, 13:40 1
- It's not my fault I am going to a hetero wedding! -- nm - ty97 Mar 28, 14:05
just remember to write "stripper" in the "for" section -- nm - CQ Mar 28, 13:40
we rec'd checks in both my maiden and supposed married name(s) as well as with mel's name on it too. The bank cashed all of them. -- nm - Diva Mar 28, 13:40 6
- our only issue was ones made out to us *both*. we both had to be at the counter to sign them - Andie Mar 28, 13:42 5
  - I would have just deposited via mac. -- nm - amanda Mar 28, 13:57 1
    - i thought about it, but then i pictured some complicated, rejected and returned to originator scenario. -- nm - Andie Mar 28, 13:58
  - really? we didn't have that problem at all. - Diva Mar 28, 13:51 2
    - it was our only problem, i took them all to the bank, (except the ones just to him), - Andie Mar 28, 13:53 1
      - we also went to our neighborhood North End branch and I think they're kind of used to turning a blind eye to some things. - Diva Mar 28, 13:55
Cash, with one of those envelopes with a hole in the center like in Goodfellas. -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 13:39
the florist or caterer -- nm - zork Mar 28, 13:37
Cash. :-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 13:36
