B: No. There is no obligation attached to an invitation to the wedding only, although you may send one if you wish.
1704998932
1704998933
B：不必。应邀参加婚礼仪式的没有送礼的义务。当然，你愿意的话，也可以送。

A: How much should be spent on a wedding gift?
1704998936
1704998937
A：应花多少钱购买结婚礼物？
1704998938
1704998939
B: There is no “formula” to determine the amount you should spend on a wedding gift. The size or the elaborateness of the wedding should have nothing to do with the amount you spend or give. Your decision should be based on a combination of two things—your affection for the bride, the groom or their families, and your financial capability.
1704998940
1704998941
B：没有“公式”来决定你应花多少钱购买结婚礼物。婚礼的规模与豪华程度和你所花钱的多少没有任何关系。你的决定应建立在两个考虑之上——你与新娘、新郎或与他们家的感情，以及你的经济能力。

1704998947
A：我最好的朋友要结婚了，我可以把礼物寄往他家吗？
1704998948
1704998949
B: You seldom send a present to the groom. Even though he is your closest friend and you may never have met his bride, your present is sent to her—unless you send two presents, one in courtesy to her and one in affection to him.

1704998951
B：很少送新郎礼物。即使他是你的好朋友而你可能未见过新娘，你的礼物也应寄给她——除非你寄了两件礼物，一件是出于礼貌送新娘的，另一件是出于感情送新郎的。

1704998955
A：同样的两份礼物是否可同商店调换一下？
1704998956
1704998957
B: Yes. Whether or not you inform the donor of your action is entirely up to you.
1704998958
1704998959
B：可以。是否告诉送礼物的客人全在于你。
1704998960

1704998962
1704998963
A：当收到一件破损的结婚礼物时，我们应该怎么办？
1704998964
1704998965
B: Take it back to the store from which it came without mentioning the fact to the donor. However, if it has arrived directly through the mail and the package is insured, the donor should be notified so that he or she can collect insurance.
1704998966
1704998967
B：不要告诉送礼者，直接拿到原来的商店。但是，如果礼物是直接邮寄过来的，包裹已保险了，应通知送礼者，这样他或她能得到保险金。

1704998975
A: Are the ceremony and reception held in the same place?
1704998976
1704998977
A：婚礼和婚宴在同一地点举行吗？
1704998978
1704998979
B: No, not usually. Most people are married in a church, and then the wedding party and guests go to another place for the reception. Sometimes, however, they hold the reception in a big room in the church.
