[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does this count? My brother and SIL did not get us a gift, not even a card. They had gotten married the year before and we got them a thoughtful gift that is displayed prominently in their home (so it’s not some piece of crap they don’t like). I couldn’t stand my SIL to begin with but this felt like such a slap in the face we hardly speak to them anymore. [/quote]

No, it doesn’t count for the reason above.  No one owes you a gift.  You would be a happier person if you didn’t bean count like this.[/quote]

I think it’s rude to attend a wedding without a gift! My wedding registry was (IMO) very reasonable: literally had items from $5 to $400, with the majority being in the $50-100 range. One of my DH’s cousins (who is a young student who really could’ve gone along with their family gift) got us a $10 item which we loved and were really touched by. It was honestly kind of hurtful to have some well-off friends come (with guests!) and not even bring a card.

To me, it wasn’t about a cash grab or getting some expensive gift but the thought behind it. [/quote]
