My cousin's wedding date was exactly one month before mine, and her shower was 4 weeks before mine also. For her shower (which came 1st) I bought her $75 worth of stuff from her registry. Then for my shower, she bought me $25 worth of stuff.
Then for her wedding gift, FH & I gave her $250 cash. That night when she took the envelope she said she'd bought me a present instead of giving $ and it just came today: a $90 plate from Tiffany's I didn't register for. That means (and yes I'm sure this is their total gift to me) they're spending $45pp on me and FH, when he and I spent $125pp on them.
Our weddings were similar in size and cost. Am I wrong to be offended? Neither FH or I work right now, we're both students and yet we saved so we could give them a nice gift. Am I over-reacting?

I guess it is something you shouldn't take personally, but definately remember for the future. Wow, they definatley should have given at least what you gave them!!!! I am sorry.
I agree! Atleast now you know the way she is and next time not to really splurge on her. I would be very annoyed, she shouldve matched your gift imo.

I think my initial reaction I would be offended. Overtime I know I would feel that it is not about the money. I completely understand why you feel that way though
me too, i would be a bit upset at first....things like that have happened to me for christmas and birthdays, ive given more than ive gotten.
