All the more power to them if they can do it i suppose, better for the environment and all that!

We never go because we have chickens and ducks and ... Anyway we always try and go to the church and stick 50 squids in a card. There has been about 3 or 4 in the last 18 months. Always get a card back and one (sometimes both) of the married couple pop in a month or so later and say thanks. It's no biggie but that's the way it should be:cool:

A few weeks after the wedding we visited my wife's brother the brides father he managed to drop a hint about wedding gifts saying that anyone should give at least €200 as a wedding gift :rolleyes: Same fella wouldn't dig too deep in his pocket when the table is turned. I couldn't give a fiddlers about receiving gifts but this expecting a certain amount annoys me.
Maphisto wrote: » That attitude always irritates me a little. I've encountered it in my own family too. Own wedding if my memory is that good. If you want to give people a cheese sandwich and a glas of coke - so what. Similarly if they wan't to give €20, €10, €0, or a moulded glass ashtray in the shape of a cow's arse - so what. Marriage is about 2 people starting their lives together and maybe we get to see some people we haven't seen in a while and maybe we'll have a nice day out - but those things are secondary. I'm thinking of starting a new career as a wedding planner, so feel free to send me any bookings.:D
