[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn’t matter if you weren’t invited to the small family/close friends ceremony. You were invited to post bbq...skip registry give $100 if you are able. If not, gift card to the joke registry and let them pick. [/quote]

Uh it absolutely does matter, if you create a second tier event for a “wedding” you are rude[/quote]

So you’d base your gift or no gift on how a couple chooses to legally marry ? What if they decided to do a civil ceremony or elope? You wouldn’t give a gift for a post celebration because you weren’t invited to the legal portion of their marriage? That is rude. A gift is given at shower and at whatever wedding celebration they have. It’s called proper etiquette. [/quote]

Holy crap, yes

You elope you have forgone my gift, you didn’t want to have the whole big wedding thing, that’s the end of that [/quote]

Wow...you're a real peach. The gift is in celebration of their new union amd to help set them up for their new life. It isn't quid pro quo in exchange for getting to witness the actual wedding. Either you care about the couple or you don't. Give a gift or don't. But don't withhold a gift because you feel slighted they didn't spend enough money entertaining you. Geez. [/quote]

If the couple cares about friends and family acknowledging their happy union they will have a real wedding. If it’s all about their ultra romantic private elopement, they’ve decided it has nothing to do with me. So be it. [/quote]
