deleted..dont pay me any mind!

Aww that s.ucks!! Don't you hate when people ruin this site for you?!?! Like my mother...

As for your friend... I would never show up empty handed! Maybe you shouldn't include her in your BP.

Hope you can come out of hiding soon whoever you are!

well the whole googling thing... i dont agree with... wonder what exactly they were lookin for...

but the eparty thing.... no you shouldnt expect a gift... i honestly think e-parties are retarded b/c guests are giving gifts like 3 times... thats insane... she shouldnt have to give you anything... and you really shouldnt expect anything either... its really unfair of you to assume that...

Hmmm...not to make enemies but Im not sure I agree with either rant...

Whats the bad part of them seeing yourw edding website? You put it on the internet for people to see so what is the problem?

As for the friend, I understand your frustration but you can't 'expect' people to give gifts. Yes, most people will come with SOMETHING but I think it is unfair to assume that...if she is your friend and that important to you i hope you can find it in your heart to understand why (if you even know that) she isnt giving gifts..

I hope you feel better soon...

which i would usually agree with, but why would she even say something...thats like throwing it in my face. i wouldnt have even noticed if i didnt get a gift. and i appreciate all she will do for my wedding to not need a gift. it just irked me that she said something like that

for #1 its certainly odd but isnt that why you have a wedding website? for people to see? definately weird though for her to point that out..

for #2 thats just plain tacky, a shower gift is NOT a wedding gift, and for an eparty at the VERY least bring a pretty picture frame or something....i mean who says that? especially someone whos close enough to be a BM

ETA: i totally agree with not expecting it, but as a guest i would never do that, i wasnt raised that way, i've always gone out of my way for close friends, the amount of money doesnt matter, its the love and creativity that counts.

people never cease to amaze you huh?

hahhaah ohh youre real life lol...i agree she shouldnt have said she wasnt giving a gift...or she could have tried to explain herself in a nicer way..the way she went about it was kind tacky!

expected or unexpected....who the heck shows up at a party that someone else put effort and money into without a gift??? That is just plain old rude in my opinion, even if she spends $5 on a gift, she should show her appreciation in some way!!!!

IMO you have every right to be upset or annoyed! Sorry you have to deal with this

this is weird..i think your friend could have handled it differently...

and you did sound stalker-ish to mrsdrinkh20 jk!

No offense, but I don't agree with this...you have a party to spend time with people not to get gifts...granted, I do bring something with me when i go to a party but i dont expect or get mad when someen doesnt bring something. People show appreciation by saying thank you. why do they have to buy something?

Ridiculous! Your friend should know better & when its her turn she will learn fast!

As for FMIL thats just weird!

Hhhmmmm as far as the website it is there for people to look, dont think that is a biggy.

The whole gift thing....she went about it rudely. She could have told you she doesnt have the money to get you something but, pick up alittle something like a card. As far as the shower gift I hope it is $500 pots,lol. I think that is wrong also, what if the shoe was on the other foot. I wonder how she would feel?!?!?

I understand your opinion and I agree i don't expect it either, I personally just wouldnt show up to someones party without a gift, I just feel it's my way of showing my thanks for having me celebrate with them.....but that's just me, other people feel just them being there is a gift enough which is fine as well..... what I find strange is that her friend would say that to her
