That attitude is everything that’s wrong with weddings in Ireland.
No - what is wrong with weddings in Ireland is people trying to be cheap .
Why not put the going rate on the invite? Or have different levels that potential invitees could tick? Like a “Platinum” level of 2k+, “Hungry Cunt” level of 20 yo-yos etc.
Does it really bother people about who gives how much? Sad really.
Eh, you expecting a gift is cheap.
No its not.
Everyone knows the deal when it comes to weddings. Trying to somehow argue otherwise is bullshit.
Got married this year, any gift is a bonus.
We did things a little differently but we didn’t expect our family or invited guest to subsidise the cost of the days out. They are invited guests if they wanted to give us a gift more power to them.
Was it a small wedding?
As it should be.
is it not cheap to expect other people who you have invited to your big day to pay for your big day?
Exactly,unless they’re niece’s or nephews.What kind of a weirdo would invite John Mary and kids to a wedding.
Why does it matter if it’s big or small?
Because if it was big then I would seriously doubt how such a gesture could be afforded.
You’d need to ask the bride or indeed nowadays some grooms.
So if you decide to go big then others should be expected to subsidize it? What kind of fucked up logic is that?
That’s not what I said.
Have you ever had a wedding by the way?
You’re coming across as a complete bridezilla.
Yes I have. I couldn’t tell you who did or didn’t give what. What was given was appreciated, there was no expectation.
Why would I be pissed off at somebody for not remunerating me when I asked them to attend in the first place?
the best thing to do is fuck off somewhere warm, invite close family and friends, whoever really wants to go will go and there’s no pressure
