Would you rush?

This would be my option as well. Get it done and over with as long as you're not planning an heriloom. If that is the case, I'd take my time and ship. I'd probably stay up the entire night a couple of days in advance to get it done. I tend to put myself under pressure. But then I'd have a day or so to relax; pack; etc.

I'd probably not rush cause then you'll be so fatigued you won't enjoy the celebration. Plus, often couples don't even unwrap gifts at the reception or even until after the honeymoon--so yes, it will cost more to ship, but think you need to do what's easiest for you at this point--or maybe that's my retiree point of view!

You've probably already decided what you're going to do.
I personally would want to hand-deliver it if at all possible, so as not to risk loss in transit. Most couples don't open their gifts right away unless they're postponing a honeymoon, so there's not much chance of you seeing them open it in front of you. But if there IS a chance of seeing that, I'd definitely want to see their reaction. But I'm no good at rushing--I tend to make mistakes and regret it. On the other hand, I work better with deadlines. I"m no help, am I?

I agree...my son and DIL just married 9/17 and received some gifts in advance of their wedding and understand not everyone brought a gift to the wedding. I would take the time to quilt it the way you like it and then ship it.
