Two cards for sure.

I would say one wedding gift. It's her special day.... She's probably not even thinking about her birthday. ☺

In my opinion both occasions should be acknowledged separately. I'd mail both gifts in separate packaging before the wedding. On her wedding day, I'd hug her and again wish her both a Happy Birthday and a Happy Wedding Day.

I think two cards, two gifts. Something small for her birthday, and something memorable for her wedding day.

I think both occasions should be acknowledged, but I'd give the wedding top billing.  She is the birthday girl every year, but being a bride is a rare event.

If the bride is a family member, I would wish a happy birthday and give a card at the beginning of the day. The rest of the day and the gift would be a wedding gift. If the bride was my daughter, I would probably give them something for the wedding as the birthday as a gift in the morning, such as a piece of heirloom jewelry.

Both should be acknowledged. Birthday earlier because the wedding is the focal point of the day.

Same as people that have birthdays on Christmas Day!

I have a preference for celebrating both occasions since they are both notable and worthy.

I would emphasize the gift aspect of the birthday and tie it into the wedding---such as celebrating your birthday by giving each other the gift of your selves.

That way, if things go well over time, they can always remember both with pleasure.

If they unfortunately don't, the wedding and that particular birthday can be deleted as just a bad biorhythm day without making the birthday a dreaded reminder of the marriage.

I'm really a romantic, but life frequently tempers that with inconvenient realism.
