MadamMillie Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 what do y'all usually do? i usually do the registry b/c they obviously want whatever it is they've registered for and it's a bit more personal than cash, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teriaki Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Has anyone ever crashed a wedding? I've always thought that'd be fun. All you have to do is say things like "we used to work together" and "doesn't she look beautiful?" and "what a great ceremony."Free drinks and brides maids.

kken Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 my thought was that thread jacking also includes jumping the subject at hand to something totally unrelated to the original post? am i wrong here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiss up I already gave her a present for the bridal shower, but I'm just giving money for the wedding - that's usually how Russian people do it - just give money and they can spend it however they want.

shadygroovedc Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Close friends or close relatives - cash $100-$200. Unless you do a group thing with other people and get them a big gift not on their registry like a 52 inch plasma TV. Everybody else, I say a registry gift that costs between $50-$100. Oh, and don't stick $200 cash in a card if you're in the wedding party and planning to get extremely hammered and end up not remembering where you put it. Cause it'll cause you stress for the next two weeks while your friends are away on their honeymoon and you're wondering where in the hell the card is and you're trying to backtrack the events of the night but you can't figure out where you put the card because everything is just a hazey blur, and you end up assuming you lost it just to find out that you gave the card in a drunken stupor to their neighbor who was at the wedding to give to them directly when they come back from their honeymoon.
