They don’t need to. They didn’t! Everything is fine.



Yes it is fine! I agree with that. Married 30 yrs.

This is totally cultural. In my family there are registries but no cash gifts.

When I married aunts and uncles each gave us $1-1.5k. But we are catholic from nyc area so expectations might be higher.

This! If they need more then they shouldn’t be getting married.😁


Are people really only giving $100 for a wedding these days? I spend $40 on a kid’s birthday gift.


You can’t even go out to a nice dinner for $100.

I try to cover the cost of the meal plus a gift so it depends but, I would give at least $500 to my niece.

When I married 20 years ago, $100 was a cheap gift. Sorry.

It was cheap 10 years ago when I got married too. But was totally okay for under 25 year olds to give

Ginormous Catholic family here- my parents give $500. Grandparents gave 1k.

I give $250 to cousins if my whole family and my kids come. $150 if no kids
