[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, seems that there are 2 issues mixed up. The groom and bride did nothing wrong setting a 16+ threshold: their wedding, their decision. The OP on the other hand feels entitled, as she gave a gift and unknowing to the groom, it came with strings attached. Don't give gifts if you then expect special treatment at other people's milestone events. What's next? Expect to spend a week in their house every year because you gave the $15K? The problem for you doesn't seem to be that your son got left out (and he doesn't care and even know about it unless told), the problem seems to be that you expect special treatment based on the money you previously gave.

From one of OPs updates she was worried that if she only gave the couple a $200 gift when they will expect thousands from her. This is either in their head or the extended relatives need to stop expecting large sums of money. If the nephew or his parents will be upset that OP didn’t give them thousands then screw them.

This sounds like an issue between OP and her sibling, the nephew's parent. If she had been giving money to him since he was a child that's not his problem. That's an arrangement among the adults. And if the sibling is broke they probably aren't contributing much to this wedding and have very little say in the invite list. OP is barking up the wrong tree.[/quote]
