If someone (a coworker) came to your wedding and gave you NOTHING..not even a card, and she's getting married next yr, if she invites you, would you give her a card with $

You're right Shamma, but a couple of stiffers really p'd me off and I'd love to be able to get back at them. I'm living vicariously.

Re: Stiffers

I would go and give a gift. I truly believe that you shouldn't ever compromise yourself- and I'm one of those people that wants to do the right thing. I don't do things for people because they are going to do for me.. I do them out of the goodness of my heart.

i'm not one of those 'eye for an eye' people

Re: Stiffers

I am going to be in a similar situation. One of my friends gave me $13 toasting flutes as my wedding gift- and she came with a guest. When her wedding comes around I am going to be just as generous

I say give a nice card and nothing else. Unless between now and the wedding a gift miraculously appears at your house, then maybe I would consider giving something.

Re: Stiffers

Stiffers are so RUDE. How can you live in NY and expect to NOT give a gift if you attend someone's wedding?!

I would opt NOT to attend any events for them. They don't deserve our friendship OR our well wishes.

Re: Stiffers

Hell YES I'D GO!!! Eat her food, drink their drinks and DANCE TO their MUSIC. Give them a nice card with NOTHING in it like her.

Re: Stiffers

Like some of the others have said, I would go and bring a card with a nice note in it with nothing else.

Re: Stiffers

Leslie, you keep posting away. I personally could write a book on stiffers and I never tire of discussing it.

Re: Stiffers

I would go and probably just give a card with a note, or something really inexpensive off the registry.

Re: Stiffers

tHAT JUST TICKS ME OFF, WE HAD THE SAME THING FROM AN UNCLE. I WOULD GO EAT, DRINK AND NOT GIVE A THING. YOU GET TREATED AS YOU TREAT PEOPLE. SHE OBVIOUSLY CAME TO YOURS AND WAS RUDE TO EAT, DRINK AND LEAVE WITHOUT EVEN A CARD TO WISH YOU BOTH WELL.

Re: Stiffers

You girls are so funny... I am cracking up reading all these replies.

Alva: I have one question.. Are you absolutely sure she did not give you a gift? What if it got lost or perhaps someone stuffed it in their bag?? I cannot imagine someone going to a wedding and not giving ANYTHING!!

Optimistic bride

Re: Stiffers

I personally wouldn't want to go, but if I did, I'd definitely give a gift. Show her what you're supposed to do in these situations and take the high road

Re: Stiffers

some people are crazy.... we were so surprised at how generous some guests were....(and then people like my first cousins, whose weddings I have been to and have given $$ even as a poor college student) stiffed me. Go figure.

RAMF'S!!! lol
