When it comes to wedding gifts in Singapore, it is considered important to give a gift to the bride and groom to show congratulations and support for the newlyweds. However, if due to personal circumstances someone is unable to purchase a gift, it would not be considered rude as long as best wishes and heartfelt congratulations are still offered. Friends and family can instead show the couple their love and fealty by giving the gift of time, by helping to prepare the wedding reception or helping to organise the events surrounding the wedding, or by writing a heartfelt card or letter.
