A Q for the married ladies: Total cost of wedding v. amount of gift $$$$
Original post by bluegreen08
How does the amount of $$$ you got in wedding gifts compare to the total cost of your wedding? (not including rings or honeymoon)
I always hear people talking about trying to 'cover their plate' but there are lots of other expenses too. I'm guessing the average will be in the 65-75 range but I'm really curious
Disclaimer: yes, I know weddings aren't money-making ventures and guests arent supposed to pay for themselves etc. I'm just curious, and where else can you ask this kind of stuff?

Haven't gotten married yet, but we're not expecting to get back what we paid out in total. We'll probably get back what we paid for the RH and that's only because we are only paying $55pp (we're getting married in Feb.'09). So it's more feasible to get that amount back versus total amount paid. Not only that ,we're not having a lot of people (80 max) but the expenses really add up with everything else...photographer, dress, dj, and even with the diy projects.
