No offense to anyone who isn't from NY, but I think it's too generous for non NY weddings. I typed in a scenario for a NY wedding and it said $412..then I typed in the same scenario and used Arkansas as the state and it said $360...no way does anyone in Arkansas give $360 as a wedding gift!

Ali - Same NY wedding I'm thinking of?

No, then I would have only given approx. $15.95, yes?

This was actually a family wedding, but don't even get me started on the other one

Talk about cash bar...DH's friends brought bottles of liquor with them to that one...
Oh yea, & I was seated at a table w/o my DH....

I know DH & I didnt have the most grand of weddings, and we were budget conscience - but even DH realized the drastic differences between the two. We get a good chuckle out of it...

I forget how much I actually gave them. I'm curious to compare now!

Well, I'm not going to publicly bish about it anymore because unlike some people, I actually have class (and honor my commitments, but I digress...), but I'm just sorry that we didn't know each other then, because then we could have hung out too! Really small world when you think about it. And lol, DH wasn't happy with me at all because I kept going up for more wine, cash or not, and I was like do you blame me??? Do you really blame me????

ETA: at least you can compare! I think my card is still in the mail

And to be honest, I thought I recgonized you! But I was too sheepish to go find out for sure! Silly me!

Yeah it doesn't take some things into account... like the fact a hotel room costs $319 a night. Or that the wedding is cash bar. I just went to a wedding that was cash bar and the drinks were about $15 each. I was so mad that I gave $300. They gave me $300 for my wedding but it was open bar and they stayed at there brothers house. My husband and I spent over $100 on drinks. They even charged $5 a glass for soda.

FOR SODA!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!

I would have given less in this case!!! FOR SURE!!!

I'm so NOT a fan of cash bar AT ALL!!! I'll even go out on a limb here and say.... I think it's tacky.

The groom is from NY so we never ever expected it. So of course we gave $300 like they gave us. I think I am going to start doing what my grandfather does. Bring a blank check and fill it out at the wedding.

I agree its tacky. The groom's mom was mortified by it. I have been to weddings where wine and beer was free and hard liquor was cash. That doesn't bother me so much.

But for soda. That was ridiculous. Most of us ended up drinking water all night long.
