People can have any kind of wedding and guests can choose not to attend. I also always give a check as a wedding gift and i[b]f the wedding is very tacky and cheap,I will give less money[/b].[/quote]

This makes no sense. If the couple is stopped for funds and does a quaint or small affair you give [i]less money[/I] versus someone that does not need it you give more? [/quote]

Yes. I am not funding their future. I am giving according to what they put in their wedding cost and of course my relationship with them.

Gift giving is a complicated cultural and social phenomenon.  I give only what will be appropriately reciprocated. If the person is too poor or too cheap, then I have to give what the poor person can easily reciprocate or what the cheap person has the heart to spend..
