My Uncle/Godfather is SO poor... I KNOW we're not getting a gift from him. Does that mean I shouldn't invite him? NO WAY!! I can't IMAGINE my wedding without him! Same with a few relatives on my FH's side! They're absolutely all invited!

What are some of the responses on theknot? (I never go on there... guess posts like that are why!)

I DO have to say the only time you get PI$$ED is when you're Rich Uncle Murdoch and could buy the world gives 30 bucks... THAT'S when I'd get PISSED!

---

Exactly I ahve both... I have a few Uncle Murdochs type realtives


I also have an uncle who isnt on the right path in his life. he's the uncle we have to call a few days before to remind about the wedding and make sure he comes. He wont give a gift but I love him to death and wouldnt want him to miss my wedding for the world - even if it means I have to babysit him to make sure he comes.

ugh, if I were to attend her wedding I would eat everything in site and dance my heart out and when it comes time to the envelope I would give her an empty one minus a card!

What a B%$@*!!!!!! Now it makes sense why people would give her hardly anything

Re: WOW! snob alert on the knot- LOL

Que Dios te bendiga
means 'May God bless you'

many times my spanish folks believe this is enough rather than a gift. LMAO

Um. Your wedding is about a MARRIAGE, not the 'money you make'! And your goal in having the wedding was to save enough money for a condo?

Um. EW EW

Seriously! What is WRONG with people! We had a friend of DH's come to our wedding and he didn't give a gift, but he flew up from VA, stayed in the hotel and came to the wedding. I still sent him a thank you because his actually PRESENCE at the wedding was more important than a PRESENT!

Ug.

VERY well said

Re: WOW! snob alert on the knot- LOL

I guess it's best not to expect any gifts when planning a wedding.

That way, anything given to the couple is a gift.

you know, i should have deduced the Dios from latin...

haha.

i'd rather get a $40 gift than cash honestly...but i'll graciously accept a hug and smile ON my wedding day as well.

Re: WOW! snob alert on the knot- LOL

the way the lady worded what she said is wrong.

however, there are several people that came to our wedding and haven't given a gift...while we don't expect lavish gifts from everyone, it would be nice to get an acknowledgement of some sort...whether that be a $20 gift card or just a card...but I think the worst is when people don't give anything. I mean, come on - it is a wedding...some sort of gift (whatever it is) IS expected.

Re: WOW! snob alert on the knot- LOL

There marriage should last about two years tops!!!

Re: WOW! snob alert on the knot- LOL

that is Bridal advice 101! NEVER expect to 'make money back!' You are throwing a wedding because you want to, not to make $$$$$!!!!!

Re: WOW! snob alert on the knot- LOL

I didn't know the new trend in weddings was to spend tens of thousands to make $$ to buy a condo!!!!

And if anyone thinks that a wedding is a money-making proposition, let me warn you now.......IT ISN'T!!!!!!

I have to agree with you, maybe her choice of words are poor, but I definitely think its rude to attend a wedding and not give a gift.

Re: WOW! snob alert on the knot- LOL

if i were one of her guests, id call the bank quick and cancel the check- hahaha

Re: WOW! snob alert on the knot- LOL

Wait...you mean my wedding isn't just an elaborate kegger to raise money to fix up the frat house?

crap.


all this time I thought ti was a moneymaking operation.

Now I have to rethink EVERYTHING!

Re: WOW! snob alert on the knot- LOL

OMG!!! that is horrible!!!!!!!!!

Re: WOW! snob alert on the knot- LOL

Of course this girl sounds like a biatch!!! I had an aunt come to my wedding that couldn't afford a gift. I would NEVER not invite her. I wanted all the people I care about there on my wedding day. I appreciated everything I got that day.

On the flip side, if I were invited to a wedding (non-family), and I couldn't give a substantial gift, I probably would not go. I would be embarrassed to show up without a gift or a 'small' gift. I know it's not my job to pay for my plate, but I still feel obligated.

I had a friend who was brought to a wedding as a date, and she found out later that her date didn't give a gift. She was MORTIFIED! It wasn't her fault, but she was still embarrassed.
