Wedding gifts?
- Thread starter Mr. Lucky
- Start date
Mr. Lucky said:My friend invited me to his wedding and I'm not
sure what to get him and his bride.
Any ideas?
thanks
A gift certificate to a lawyer?
Seriously a great gift would be a couple bottles of a good wine and a picnic basket complete with plates, wine glasses, silver the whole set up.
Another gift that goes well is engraved set of wine glasses
I gave my friends a cock ring and an anal plug. I laughed my ass off as they were opening it in front of their parents and family.
Then I gave an envelope of cash.

New or used??
Agreed, and it is completely proper to ask where they are registered. It is very common to register at The Bay - you can check online by clicking the National Registry link, and typing in the names of the people getting married. If they don't like what you got, or want something else, they'll get a credit for it at the store and buy something else. Chances are no one will be the wiser.Kang said:
Oh, and if you are as lucky as you make yourself out to be, I assume that you'll be taking home at least one or two of the bridesmaids!

Let's say it's my best friend's brother who is getting married and I'm going to the wedding alone, how much should I give as a gift?
The amount of money should be calculated based on the cost per plate at the reception plus a little something extra. If they are getting married at some great hall and the wedding is costing a fortune I would look to give something like $300 per person (you and your date).
Gotta figure the meal is 100 or so plus the drinks and so on.
After basically getting suckered into at least 2 weddings per month in the summer I have found that the registry is definaley the cheaper way to go. You get them something the have asked for and want and don't have to worry about feeling if what you gave cash wise is suf.ficent

When in doubt... give cash
Unless you have a good fix on the cost of each plate...$100 per head is reasonable. But then again, most of the weddings I been to are asian/south asian weddings where their cost per head is a fraction of what your standard "North American" wedding would cost....Indian weddings cost nothing and the food is awesome...$20 per head is considered EXPENSIVE
Some of you guys give 200-300/head? jeezus what kind of weddings are you guys going to?

I always thought that couples don't have a registry want money....in that case, like the others said, a hundred a head is resonable.
2-3 hundred sounds high

I think the average $100-$120 a plate includes drinks, so about $150 per person is reasonable, otherwise all the guests will end up paying for the whole wedding. You invite friends and family to spend the day and celebrate the wedding with you, not pay for it.
We all know that Europeans very rarely have cash bar, and also recieve cash gifts. The Bridal Shower/Jack n Jill/Buck and Doe, is for the material gifts.

I usually give a used toothbrush. Seriously, the amount of $$ you give should not be based on the cost of the wedding. It was their choice to have the type of wedding they did and it is your choice what to give. The two are not related. The wedding is supposed to be a celebration of their new life together. The gift is not supposed to be the cover charge.
Simple solution if you choose a cash gift. Just give what you are comfortable giving and not feeling either cheap or boastful. If you have to ask then you are looking for what other people are comfortable giving not want you are comfortable giving. If you do not know what to give just think of what you would want at this stage in your life.
