[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the people on this thread live in la la land.

$200 is crazy for a gift, unless it's for your child who is getting married.

A $40 gift is completely acceptable and normal. People want you there because they want to celebrate with close friends and family; not because they think you're going to give them a ton of money and stuff. (and if they are in the opposite camp, who gives two shits about them?).

You are in no way expected to pay for your plate.[/quote]

WTF?? when my close cousin married I was a bridesmaid and son was ring buy. I gave $1000. For her shower I spent 700.

This is insane, some of you are cheap. I give 200 to any old person's wedding I attend. A cousin, far more!

If parents give their kids 200, they are cheap bastard. I would rather nothing at all.[/quote]

You don't seem to realize what a very small bubble you live in.  .  .  On second thought, I'd bet that you're very deliberate about keeping that bubble small.[/quote]

I didnt start this, everyone does it. I am not going to be the cheap one who doesnt. It's not a small bubble. My cousin had 600 people at her wedding. (mine was much smaller).[/quote]

600 people -with those gift expectations: the ultimate gift grab!![/quote]
