[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I noticed who gave gifts as we [b]had an excel spreadsheet of who invited to wedding and had a column for gift amounts. [/b]

We wrote thank you notes later. They ranged from one weird uncle gave $25 for low, next lowest a mad spinster at $75.a few $1,000 close family and one $5,000.

Let me put it this way the $5,000 one is getting generous gifts from me to her and her children and grandkids for life.

Mr. 25 not so much [/quote]

What purpose does the column for gift amounts serve?  Is it to keep track so that you can "pay them back" in the future?

NP but we had this too and it was so that we could make sure all the checks were deposited. (Also my mom asked about a few people before she had to go to their kids' weddings and wanted to make sure she was equally generous)[/quote]

We also kept track of how much people gave us at our (non Destination) wedding. Yes, it’s to figure out how to reciprocate, especially for our parents friends. In addition, there’s a certain amount we’re usually comfortable with, but if someone was very generous (or the opposite) we would keep it in mind when reciprocating. Wedding gifts are essentially theater and temporary loans.[/quote]
