    Well, my wedding gifts are usually proportional to what I imagine the couple have already spent for me to be there.

    Someone who throws a wedding with accommodation and everything else all taken care of is going to get a bigger gift than one where I’m just invited to the evening do.

    I guess the invite cost something to send so I suppose their gift would probably be about 50p max, if I could even bring myself to send anything.

    Funnily if I wasn’t invited to a wedding of a friend for whatever reason and they didn’t send a card like this, I’d probably be more inclined to get a token gift as a congratulations anyway.

    I would send this reply - “As much as we would love to send you a wedding gift, we have been overwellmed in the upcoming months with wedding receptions that we have to attend and of course provide the happy couples gifts”

    I wouldn’t send money. I would buy beer and play a video game instead.

    If we were close, I might send a fuck you card.

    I was uninvited from my sister’s wedding. But I was told it was at a public venue, so I could come watch the ceremony from a distance and I could still send a wedding gift.

    I didn’t care about being uninvited. I was only upset that they made Dad call me. If you’re going to be like that at least have the balls to make the call yourself.

    Instead of sending them money, I made a fake donation in their honor to The Human Fund, with its slogan “Money for People”.
