[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Are you saying you would give the same normal gift you give to any friend? Don't you give something better than normal? For example, if it was an expensive bday party, would you give a more expensive bday gift? If it was a super awesome wedding, don't you give a better wedding gift? Doesn't the same idea apply here?

huh? You are odd, OP. Gift giving is about finding something that you think the giftee would appreciate and that you can afford and that is appropriate to the occasion. I do not give a "better' wedding gift because it is a "better" (whatever that means) wedding. So strange. You seem rather obsessed with $$$ even in a $$ obsessed town. [/quote]

Your first line contradicts the second line. You said whatever is appropriate for the occasion. A simple birthday party at your house is very different than say a fancy "American Girl" party followed by a full lunch. Similarly a simple wedding at home is different than a Ritz wedding. It is pretty obvious which event is "better". While it is not always true, the more an event costs, the "better" it is. I wouldn't want to invite you to one of my smashing parties...[/quote]
