I like the idea too.. You never know a person's financial situation and if they are good friends, they should understand that it is not personal. Especially with NY weddings being about money.

i did this with my cousin and now I wish I didnt because every little thing that I went and spend $ for her wedding she thinks its too expensive and wont recpricate.
I have done this with my other friends and it worked out perfectly.
just take into consideration if she is really going to spend the same ect and if she wont complain when its time to book hair and makeup and its over $40. If I knew what I know now I wouldnt have done this deal with my couisn.

my sister got married in 08 and was on this site and for the close friends she made on here they all got each other something small off each others registries and then called it even for the weddings and didnt give each other anything.
i actually think its a good idea!

I would totally not get offended. I do this with my BFF for xmas all the time. If we had an iffy year at work, we just don't exchange. No hurt feelings, no questions asked...
Just my opinion
Although, I do LOVE the scratchoff idea too.![]()

Re: Calling it even?
fh and i are doing this...his bff is getting married in april
we both agreed we wouldnt give gifts, its a silly exchange of money imo
and they are both in each others bridal party so it makes sense

Re: Calling it even?
Nah, I'm not buying it. I personally wouldn't feel comfortable going to a close friends wedding, or any wedding, for that matter, without bringing $$$
The closer the friend, the more you bring, if it is an amount you can afford, of course, but regardless, you should bring $$$ to hers and she should reciprocate. That's the way I would do it.
Any way you slice it, its still a wedding, its still a celebration, regardless of how many moths apart it is from one another; that part is completely mutually exclusive of the fact that you still need to bring $$$

Re: Calling it even?
I too like the giving.. whether its the same amount or not, I am a bit old-fashion and like the giving of a gift at a wedding. If it equals out in the end so be it.
