In most of the weddings that I have attended, there were giveaways.
Although most of the time the giveaways are for women only. There were times that I am the only one attending a wedding because my wife is not that close to the ones being married. She often asks me to get a souvenir for her. I sometimes am able to ask one for her but in other occasions I get a little timid to ask one for my wife. Is it okay 
to ask one for your wife if you know that only women are given one and she did not attend? What do you think?

I used to, not anymore...
Well, I was a wife before, I had my "own" home that I share with my ex-hubby. I used to have this glass cabinet where I file my book collection as well as my wedding giveaway collection. After the separation, these collections are all in separate boxes, getting dusty over time. Now, I'm just renting a room and I cannot afford to clutter my small room with so many wedding giveaways.
Well, I see nothing wrong with asking for your wife even if she wasn't there herself. You were there as her other half anyways. Besides, giveaways are meant to be given, hehehe...

I know it's a little awkward for you asking for give aways but when the hosts know that you are married they would really admire you for being thoughtful to your wife. Obviously they would really know that you are not the one using it. Since they know that you are married they would definitely think that it is for your wife. I think there is no problem about it. Go ahead, collect give aways for your wife. She whould be glad you do it for her.

Yes. It is OK to ask. Many times they have lots of left overs and would be very happy to give you one. The worse thing that can happen if you ask is they say "No" and then you are no worse off for asking are you. Your wife is worth the effort. You are doing it for her.... be positive.
