What to Return:

Return engagement, shower, and wedding gifts to family and friends, with a simple note of thanks and letting them know (without any explanation) that the wedding has been cancelled. You should purchase the returning of gifts.

The Wedding Dress

Think thoroughly on what to do with your wedding dress not to regret later.
If you’ve specially ordered a dress, you may not get any money back. As a gown is maid special for your taste and measurements. Call up your dressmaker as son as possible. If it is early enough, you may be returned some money.

If you’ve paid for a dress you can keep it, sell it, or give it away to a local charity. Many brides sell their wedding gowns through Internet. Some bridal shops may be willing to sell your wedding gown for you as an in-store sample. Some creative ladies even take their dresses to a costume shop to have the dress dyed so they can wear it to another parties!

Engagement ring

If the ring was a family heirloom, it should be returned to the family that it came from, no matter who called off the wedding, for any reason. It also should be given back if it was a receiver of the ring who’s called off the wedding. If the giver of the ring has called it off, then the receiver may keep, sell, or return it. But if they have chosen and bought the ring together, then they should decide jointly what to do with it. The same way is how to cope with other joint property.

If You are Parent or Friend

It may be hard for you to see your child suffers, but realize she/he must to conquer it alone in her/his soul. You can’t make the sadness or disappointment or anger go away.
But you can and should help her/him. You will help if you just:
º Listen.
º Don't say "I told you so" or something similar.
º Don't share your opinions about the breakup with anyone other than your own spouse or a minister or counselor.
º Assist with notifying people of the wedding cancellation.
º Help in canceling wedding arrangements.
