a friend of mine is getting married July 2010. i have not picked a date yet but will be either may or september. which means 2 months apart no matter what. i am friends with the groom since 6th grade & the bride since high school.
neither of us r having engagement parties & we will be at each others showers. but for the wedding should we go with a no monetary gift policy??

FH thinks it would be rude to not give a gift. i guess i will speak to her & see what she wants to do when we get closer to the wedding.

i would talk to the other couple and casually mention that. see what they say.

Give them a little something.
Or have your wedding first and see what they give you

Just give her what she's giving you- like a loan. It's weird to not give a gift at all.

I would give a gift or a gift card, maybe several small things that usually get overlooked in favor of the big items, but really come in handy and are useful

my friend actually went thru this in may... her friend approached her and said..since their weddings are a few months apart they shoudl skip the envelope. my friend thought that was tacky, as did every1 else we asked.. i dont know..
i wouldnt bring it up at all..give a 'normal' amount.. i know if you werent getting married in2010 you would prob be very generous since youve known them for so long.. but i think a normal amount as a gift should be given...its over 2 yrs away..

I would still give a gift, My cousin is getting married around the same time as me and Im planning on giving him the same gift even if he was a year before or after me.

I would stil think that you guys would each give each other something but nothing huge since you are both planning weddings - you both would understand.
