Too many weddings....

I would say no to the not so close, jmo
But if it is a close friend, I would try my best to make it
Esp if you are inviting them all in turn, do you plan to send a gift anyway?

i know that feeling...if they're not so close, i'd say no.

In January, I have a friend's e-party followed by my nephew's baptism followed by surgery (for me)...money is already tight and will be even tighter, but what can i do?

We were inviting 1 of the 3 until a old friend of mine i ran into said to keep my calendar clear for her wedding lol. And then FH friend through his brother said the same to him So now we have to invite all three.
I know its a year away so we don't have to stress bout it now so I guess we'll see when it gets closer. If we dont go to 1 of them I'd still send a gift over.

ugh sounds like me next summer

brother's wedding 6/14
in one of my BM's weddings 7/5
in another BM's wedding 8/2
my wedding 10/10

I always feel guilty saying no to other people's weddings.

We have 4 others besides our next year and possibly 3 more. 2 people are looking to set dates for 08 and we have one that we aren't sure if we are or aren't getting invited (a co-worker of FH). So I feel your pain.

we just started putting money away now specifically for these weddings and showers that go along with them.

I didn't think about the showers. I guess we'll start saving like you guys. Probably 1k or so plus shower gifts

Id probably say no to the not so close friends. 3 weddings is a lot to spend money on a month before your own. You have a lot of deposits to pay for. Are they all coming to yours?

They better if I go to theirs lol. My 2 friends are coming, fh's I'm not too sure about. They come off to me as a couple that would yes say, but not show up.

Which in my opinion is VERY generous. I would definitely go to my close friend's wedding. If push comes to shove....I would go to the one that RSVP's for my own wedding.

If they seem like the type of people who would do that then dont go to theirs! Who knows, they might be hapy cause then they wont have to spend money on your wedding so close after theirs!

I have 3 friends getting married next year too. We've all discussed the expense issue and what we've decided to do is not give a gift at the wedding. The way we see it, its just money going back and forth anyway.

---

i like that idea. that is smart meg

or even if yuo wanted to give them a little something maybe a gift off their registry..but i am not sure if you are close enough to the other 2 couples to say hey lets not give each other gifts...

I like the gift idea...what I do is go to just the wedding and not the bridal shower.
