Re: ridiculous gifts u got at the wedding...
we got $600 from a family of 9 ... this wouldn't be THAT terrible except that it's the parents, and 4 kids (all adults) along with three of their spouses ... the 3 married kids got their own invitations .... they didn't even give a card on their own, just tacked their names onto the parents' card.

Re: ridiculous gifts u got at the wedding...
I have one non-gifter co-worker that I see EVERYDAY who actually bragged to other co-workers that he was giving me a huge check, he spends money on very expensive trips, clothes, etc. and actually told me the other day that he's 'bought like three cards for me and lost them.' YEA RIGHT! Bul*crap.

My 2 aunts each gave my sister $1000. They are both families of 4. They gave me $200 each. I guess they like her better..

Re: ridiculous gifts u got at the wedding...
a gift card to bloomies for 50 bucks. not sure what exactly can be accomplished there for 50 bucks
2 couples gave us gifts after I specifically said as I was asked what gift off our registry to get us, that we dont have a registry or need anything and to give money the gifts were a serving plate and a photo frame

Re: ridiculous gifts u got at the wedding...
there were SO MANY either non gifters or like $50 for a large family. im like whatever, but so many of them talked about giving us suuch a generous gift. this wasnt a freakin picnic... DH's family.
btw that was our mantra, i just remembered, throughout the invitation process. thank god that picnic is over!

If you don't smoke, it is a weird gift. DH tore that up in about 3 minutes. But that was it. A blunt.

Re: ridiculous gifts u got at the wedding...
Where do I start... First there were a number of no-gifters. Then I had a family of 4 get me $40 wine glasses. Someone else bought me a $20 salad bowl.

My DH's grandmother gave us 60 bucks from her, his Uncle and his Aunt. They are super poor living in Western NY.
In that instance, I would have rather they gave us nothing instead of thinking that 20 bucks a head would have covered their place setting.

i think it's sweet that they tried to give anything they could .... zero dollars would also not cover their place settings....
