Parking

How – Via the invite itself, at a later date by phone or by details placed upon a wedding website.
Gift Details
What – What gifts the couple would like to receive.
When – Initially at the same time as the invites, although they will need to be informed as and when certain gifts from the lists have already been purchased.
