Wedding Gift What is an appropriate gift for a coworkers wedding for me and my boyfriend as my guest? I know the conventional wisdom is to cover your plate but I disagree for two reasons: 1. the bride did not pay for a thing - the parents did so you are nto really taking away from money they put out 2. it really isnt my fault that they paid $150-175 for my plate.. i really cant afford that i am usually invited to close friends weddings and give $250- - 300 but this is because it is a very close friend or family member and i never go by how fancy the wedding is - usually by how close i am to the bridge/groom.. this is a friendly coworker and i am really clueless right about now anyone have some suggestions |
Are they registered anywhere? Just get them something off their list. |
i already did buy a gift from the registry at the bridal shower.. spent around $40 for that weddings are so expensive anymore.. there is the shower.. if its far a hotel room.. a gift.. a dress etc. etc. |
I'd spend around the same for a wedding gift and if you can't afford it just get a card. I think the fact that you acknowledged them in anyway is appropriate enough. Some might feel you have to buy a gift but it's a personal preference I guess. Good luck |
no less than 200.00 dollars. actually 200.00 would be ok.. its not your problem the plates were expensive.. you do what you could afford. |
I would either get them something else off of their registry or just go with a card. You already bought them something for their shower, so I think a card is all you need to acknowledge the occassion...maybe include a gift card if you want to give a little more? |
I know that my favorite thing that I got after I got married was my quesadilla maker. I LOVE that thing and use it all the time! So that's my suggestion, go out on a limb and be different! |
i know that in new york, we give money, but its different in other states.. i once went to wedding in pa. and amost of the people gave gifts .. some people do it different... at my wedding i didnt get one gift, i received all money. that was great. |
I got married last year and the average that was given to us was $100.00 We live around Pittsburgh PA and we had a sit down dinner around $75 per head. We also did not get one physical gift all money and gift cards. I think anything would be appreciated. |
I would just get them another gift off of the bridal registry. I know things are different between west coast/east coast and also with different cultures but I've always just given a gift off of the registry unless I found something else that I thought they would like better. I've never given money, it never crossed my mind. I certainly wouldn't expect a guest to give a certain dollar amount to cover the cost of the wedding, that would be my responsibility not my guests. |
Everyone can always use a Target gift card! (if you have Target's there) |
I would just give what you think is appropriate. I wouldn't worry about what everyone else thinks you should give. |
What about something personal from Things Remembered. There are some beautiful engraved wedding picture frames. Or a personalized quilt. Personalizing it makes a huge difference, IMO. Sometimes the thought put into the gift means so much more than the amount it costs. |
