Weeding Gift Amount

Electric Sheep

Sounds like Murphyebass' friends are high maintenance on their expectations of what their guests will spend on their appearance as well as what the expect to be gifted.

My boyfriend and I have given 100 between us the last few weddings we've been to, including a wedding of one of his cousins, because that's what we can currently afford. We're just cheapskates, I guess! :rolleyes:

because you just HAD to have organza chair covers instead of regular.

So that is what they are called. They are dire looking, the chairs look like they are all wearing ill fitting condoms.

Anyhow, I will be this wedding soldier soon. I'm a broke 'mature' student, struggling to pay rent. Ah well.
The brother is getting married. He is from Dublin, they live in Dublin, but the wedding is in the west where she comes from. Bank holiday weekend, service starts at 12.30pm so little hope of getting down on the day, regardless he wants me to be there for a rehearsal the night before and to stick around the day after. Will be 400 quid spent on hotel and trains alone, fml.

I don't get invited to a lot of weddings thankfully, and he will probably only get married a few times.

This has to be the best idea for a wedding present I have ever heard of.

Tell your brother it's all wonderful and all but you can't afford 2-3 nights at the hotel. Are you best man?

Groomsman, his friend is best man, which is fine by me.
Thanks, Ah I'll make it work, have only been to a handful of weddings in my life and this will be the last big one for the foreseeable.

Guys, reiterating my earlier on thread warning - stop the bickering and arguing. Seriously, this is the last warning I'll give on this. Next person posting in this fashion will get a ban.

Oh, I guess bridal party will be expected to be there for rehearsals. It's a shame they can't be more accommodating or understanding of others' situations. Best of luck, hopefully it'll work itself out!
