We are not sure what to give as a gift because of her weird invitation.....We are being asked to pay 75$ each for the dinner (that includes two glasses of wine each)....ive never heard of asking your invitees to pay for their own meal...so what would be an appropriate gift?

A declination. Nobody makes the guests pay for the wedding dinner! How amazingly obnixous!

Personally, I wouldn't go. It's rude to ask your guests to pay for their own meal at a reception. If you go, I sure wouldn't bring a gift.

I would not go, I have never heard of paying when you are invited to a wedding dinner.

I agree with the second answer... if anyone asked me to PAY to attend their wedding, I would decline the invitation. Seems like a really rude and tacky event.

What the heck!! Don't give them any gift if they charge you for having the dinner!!!! In fact, why even bother to go at all!

Paying for your own dinner? How cheap is that?! Well if you insist on going and insist on getting a gift for them. Try something like a nice picture frame for their wedding photos. I went to a wedding and gave them just a picture frame from walmart, It looked more expensive then the $15 I spent on it.

A small gift would be appropriate, something for their new home, kitchen items or such. As for having to fork out 75$ for the reception, don't think to badly of the couple (or whomever is funding this wedding) for charging. Weddings these days are beyond most peoples budgets, at least the ones that are done all fancy, in a church, and have a separate place for the reception. If they are charging for a really, I mean REALLY good spread of food to serve it should be worth it. Enjoy the ceremony and following gaiety!

Affordable wedding gift and I wouldn't go to the reception. If the friendship is important, then go to the wedding, I assume there isn't a cover charge at the door for that. This is one of the most tacky things I've ever heard. I owned a wedding chapel in California for ten year, we had over 15,000 wedding during that time. So I DO have some experience in the etiquette of weddings.These people are bums trying to put on the front of kings. BEWARE!!!
