    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 went to a wedding once where the pastor took the whole hour-long ceremony to bash gayness

      then the ‘reception’ was breakfast lol

      followed by some lame “dating game” between the bride & groom vs the oldest couple in attendance

      no booze, no music, no dancing

      any future invitations are going in the trash if any of the above elements are going to be involved

          former coworkers. everyone was like um wtf you can’t be serious when they announced it. and just like everyone predicted, the marriage lasted less than a year. severest case of “you don’t see red flags when you’re wearing rose colored glasses” i’ve ever seen
