Need your advise

Okay, so I have a friend who is getting married one week before me. She will not be attending my wedding even though she is coming home from her honeymoon that day.
Then my other friend is getting married 2 days after this one. She will also be on her honeymoon for my wedding. I really don't want to go to these weddings because it's going to be over $400 in gifts one week before my wedding. What do you think I should do?

Oh man, thats a tough one...I had a similar situation happen with me, onlky our weddings were like amonth apart, it got exepensive, can to talk with yoru friends and tell them your concerns, maybe you guys could agree to not give each other gifts, since its an expense for ALL of you, even though they arent coming to your wedidng, they would most likley still give yu something. Are you guys really really close? I would talk to them, because chances are you will give them money, they will give it right back to you..they may even be relived if you talk it out, it may be stressin them out to. Good luck!!!

We're not really really close. In fact I haven't seen one since July (my engagement party). The other one is a childhood friend, and she lives in NJ. I know this sounds horrible, but I don't think they would give me a gift, since they can't come to the wedding. I don't know...

ETA...They're literally one week from my wedding. I have issues with the one girl because I felt that if the tables were turned, I would have came home a day early from my honeymoon to make sure I was at her wedding, especiall since we were friends when we were 16.

well i wouldnt expect anyone to come home from their honeymoon early.... but even if you don't go to a wedding.. if you get an invite then you send a gift.. well that is the appropriate thing to do.

If it is too much for you the week before your wedding then that is fine
also it might be fun because you will think... ooohhhh that is going to be next week

do what you think is right

maybe go to one
