They did have a HUGE gift table and invited family over the day after the wedding to eat left overs and watch them open the gifts.
My best friend did that. Citing Italian tradition, IIRC. I had to leave the next day, so missed both it and cake.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've heard of this. I will not do it, because I expect that I will be so sick of the people giving me "friendly" advice, I will kill someone.

I've been to a bunch of these morning after brunches. Some with gift opening, some without.

I've been to morning after brunches, but not with gift opening!
Does that apply with work or hobby friends, though? This is my second krav wedding, and I do know the bride's brother, but that's because he'd routinely travel in from Colorado to do krav here.
Well, no. That was more traditional. These days obviously there's a lot more adults getting married, and you wouldn't know their family, and their best friend/MoH might live six states away. So, it's not nearly as bad to include in the invite, but I still think it's not really cool. But I still think the one that was about "give us money for our honeymoon at www.honeyluna.com" or something was ridic.

I love the gift opening thing because I always want to see what people get! (I know it's deadly boring for most normal people.) The ones I've been to have been lowkey brunchy things for close friends.

(1) Doing well. They are going to keep her an extra day or so to get her blood thinner stuff worked out, but beyond that, everything is going great.
(2) Purrrrrrr. Next year will try to get there earlier so I can see more before it becomes PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE. There will be an lj entry eventually.
