[quote=Anonymous]Jesus Christ. I would never give anything close to $500 for a wedding gift unless it was my immediate family. I truly cannot believe that is the expectation anywhere. We got married in our 30s and explicitly stated no gifts and did not do a registry. We received a pile of lovely cards and were very happy. Nearly everyone were invited came, probably in part because they were relieved they weren’t expected to fork over thousand extra for a gift for two grown adults who own a home and can buy whatever they want for themselves. We recognized that many of our guests were paying $5k+ to fly internationally and get hotels for our wedding. The audacity is expecting your guests to give you another $1000 is just breathtaking. Wedding gifts and registries started when people got married young and had no money and needed to set up a house. It’s absurd to ask for that level of generosity when you are a grown, self-sufficient adult.[/quote]
