 Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2007 9:55 am Post subject: Should I still get them a wedding gift? |
 |
|
| So, I met this girl through a friend that was getting married and we talked a little for a few months off and on because we were both bridesmaids. Now, she's getting married and has invited me, but my bf doesn't like the couple and I feel the same way sort of. We have declined their wedding invitation and now we're wondering if we should still get them a gift?If so, then how much should we spend on the wedding gift? Thank you! |

| In this case, I would get them a small gift off of their registry, about $25 dollars and a nice card. Have it sent to their home. |

| Yes, get them a gift. Technically, you don't have to since you're not attending the wedding, but it is the nice thing to do. Just get something small off the wedding registry and have it sent to her. Think picture frames or kitchen accessories. I wouldn't spend more than $30 or $40, personally. |

| If not attending then no gift needed although it would be nice to send one if you financially can. |

| You don't like them, right? Then don't get them a gift. Plus, you are not attending the wedding. |

| If you've already declined their wedding invitation then I wouldn't worry about it. The only time you have to send a gift (when your not going to the wedding) is when the bride or groom are a relative or good friend. I think it's always nice to send a card with $100 cash or a gift card just to say congrats...but that's just me. when I got married several people did that because they couldn't attend. |

| No, don't get them a gift. You're not going to the wedding, you're not close friends with them. |

| If you don't go to their wedding, you don't get them a gift. Can you imagine if we had to buy gifts for everybody that even invited us! Especially if you don't like them and have no intention of pursuing a friendship with them. People would start inviting anybody they could think of. The madness must end somewhere! |

| A wedding invite is not a guaranteed gift!!! I would send a nice card congratulating them and that would be as far as I go! Man 25- 100 for someone you don't like!!! I loved to see what they do for real friends! LOL If you are not attending the wedding no gift required. |

| You are not required to give a gift. If you'd like to give one, that's nice, but it's entirely up to you. On the other hand, if you and your boyfriend both sort of dislike them, why would you bother?If you do decide to give them a gift, base the cost on how much you like them and what you can afford. There is no scale of how much wedding gifts have to cost, no matter what anyone tries to tell you about 'covering your plate'. Just pick something you think they'd like that you can afford, and get it to them.But as I said in the beginning, there's no need at all unless you wish to give them something. |

| If you do not like them and you are not attending their wedding then I would say no. If you both agree they are not your friends, you probley will never spend time with them anyways. |
