What should guests know before carrying another person's wedding purchases in their luggage?

Direct answer
Know exactly what you are carrying and check the relevant baggage, customs and restricted-item rules before accepting another person's purchases.
Keep accurate descriptions and receipts where needed, and do not agree to conceal ownership, value or contents. Passenger allowances and declaration requirements depend on the actual route and items; a wedding explanation does not remove them. Decline sealed or unexplained packages. Helpful family transport should not leave the traveller taking unknown legal or financial responsibility.
