At our wedding, we specifically asked for no gifts or cash. We had already been living together for a year and had everything we needed. Just wanted people to come and celebrate with us. I was completely overwhelmed with gift cards and cash that many guests brought anyways. I could never imagine demanding gifts/cash for a wedding. That isn't the point of the day.

[@rbee1275]

I have always given a cash gift 1- because I wanted the couple to buy whatever they needed and 2- the side we were on, they were going to move after the wedding so I didn't want to burden them with items to lug around. That being said, I hate it when it states on wedding invitations "no boxed gifts please ". If people know you and your situation and they CARE, they will do the thoughtful/ considerate thing!

[@stacidonald1198]

I know what you mean, I was so happy with people just coming. It meant so so much, and was shocked at all the gift cards and money we got. Especially since all our wedding was paid for by family members as our wedding gifts, I cried so much when my Nana and Grandad said they wanted to pay for our cake. And when my Mum said she wanted to pay for the material for my dress and pay my Auntie to make it, I was over the moon and appreciated it so much. And then you have brides acting like this?!?!

[@nrocinunogard7713]

Not when you've been living a year together already as gifts are traditionally to help (young) couples on their new life together by getting them items they otherwise don't have. Gifts are THOUSANDS of years in tradition & are definitely a point of the day. Weddings are a communal event. A legal statement requiring witnesses. Stop playing holier than thou just so you can humble brag about how many gift cards you were given as a WEDDING gift.

[@jaye767]

@@nrocinunogard7713 lmao what? Like I said, we had everything we needed. We specifically said no gifts as we just wanted people to celebrate with us. If someone wants a wedding and has a registry for help getting started with their life as a married couple then great! My point is that weddings are NOT about gifts. I don't care if it's tradition. We didn't care about gifts. If you do, then good for you lol

[@joygernautm6641]

We are not in the day where couples get married at 18 anymore. Most people get married in their mid-to-late 20s if not later, live together before they get married, and have all the household things that they need. Although most people attending a wedding are going to give a gift, demanding gifts or special registries just seems so tacky to me.

[@Deathisdark05]

"If you can't afford to have a big wedding then just don't have a big wedding" THIS. It absolutely confounds me how many people seem to think that everything has to be "perfect" for a wedding, like it has to fit into this ideal box that often leans to the idea of a big wedding. A wedding doesn't have to be big. There's nothing wrong with a small wedding and working on a budget. Especially if trying to have a big wedding is going to turn you into a jerk who demands your guests pay for crap.

[@melaniegorniak3803]

Exactly! We couldn’t afford anything big as we paid for everything ourselves we had a beautiful small wedding that I will remember till the day I pass been married 22 yrs and been invited to many a wedding we declined to attend because of this exact behaviour.

[@aliceswonderland3779]

Being only four-and-a-half months old at the time, I don't remember my parents' wedding. I do, however, know that they opted for a registry office (a rented dress and the service cost about £25-30 -- it was 1991.) The wedding party was hosted at our house (there was a marquee outside with a load of beer kegs and a buffet. We also have a rather small house.) So many people ended up staying overnight, including ten footballers scattered on the living room floor, because my Dad was playing the next morning. My Mum spent the morning after her wedding sorting me out and cooking breakfast for family, plus all those footballers. (She says I was the easiest one to look after.) Nothing fancy; no honeymoon. They were married for twenty-eight-and-a-half years until my Dad passed last April of Covid. My Mum nearly went with him; she was so ill herself. (Even I didn't know if I was going to come out the other side.) A part of me can't help but wonder how many of those that want the Big White Wedding end up lasting. (Value should be placed on the relationship; not money.)

[@CherryJuli]

Even if I had the money for a big wedding I wouldn’t have one. It’s just so unnecessary and cheesy. I marry to be with that person not to show everyone how much money I’m willing to spend on a party.

[@Katie-vg3jn]

I dont think there's anything wrong with a big wedding so long as you can reasonably pay for it. My fiancé and I are getting married next year and we're both working our butts off to save up as well as making sure to carefully budget. We do want about 125 people (don't know if that qualifies as big or not) but we'll be paying for everyone and everything ourselves unless people offer to pay for stuff as a gift (my mom had thrown out the idea of paying for my dress as our gift but obvs it's not expected). So there's a good way to do a big wedding, but it's saving, budgeting and planning rather than expecting your guests to buy in

[@jvseventeen]

My literal dream wedding is me, my partner, and less than 10 guests. Seriously I can't stand crowds or being in front of people so my goal is to have it be as small and inconspicuous as possible

[@Fyreflier]

As someone who dyes her hair, when my dad and stepmum got married I was dying my hair black. Since I was doing a touch-up at the beginning of that week, I deliberately used a blue-black instead of jet black to match the gold and navy theme. Stepmum thought it looked gorgeous and I liked the colour so much that I stuck with the blue-black for nearly ten years before I decided I wanted it purple.

I once went to a wedding where the bride and her mum got angry at my daughters because they considered the girls were overdressed for the occasion. Keep in mind , my twin girls were 9 at the time, We dressed them in rosy pink dress and the bride created a huge scene and the mum pinched my daughter so hard, her arm had nail marks. And she slapped my other daughter. I called the cops, recollected my gift box, and vowed never to speak again. Due to the scene, many guests left with their gifts of course. Our lawyer (my wife) later agreed for an out of court settlement for the assault case we filed on the bride's mum. She had to pay through her nose for the assault on my daughters. We still discuss that wedding till this day, Funny thing , she divorced her husband after few years as he was cheating with her sister 🤣🤣.

Small and simple works best. I got twice in the same year. One was an elopement, the other was a very small church wedding with family. A wedding, for all practical purposes, is a party you throw yourselves to celebrate your commitment to each other. Just do what you want. There are all kinds of cheap things you can do that are clever, frugal, and fun. (Also, just so you know, you *can* get permission to hold events in public parks, if you talk to whatever local agency handles those. You will have a list of things you *can't* do, but as long as you understand you're in a public space and allow for strangers and don't do loud or noisy things, you'll be fine.)

[@chummidixit6433]

I come from a south indian culture, and here in my community it's actually offensive to "gift" the couple on their weddings. Like we specifically mention something like "No gifts please. Your blessings and grace suffice" on the invitation cards. And yet most of the guests do bring some useful gifts inspite of the disclaimer because they don't want to look like cheap free food hoggers and we have to keep those gifts as a formality. But the close relatives like our uncles/aunts usually gift us gold jewellery days in advance of the wedding so that nobody feels awkward. Other thing is would-be couples and their families would've to visit each and every relative / friend's house and invite them personally while again giving them invitation gifts (something like a saree/traditional wears) . Begging for gifts is considered totally rude

In my country, people rarely bring gifts to weddings. We give money, usually enough to cover the food and for the couple to get something extra. People can choose how much to give, and the rich ones or family usually give way more. It's not something mandatory, and the couple doesn't have any specific request, sometimes they make more than to cover all the expenses, other times not, but it's an unwritten rule, everyone does it. It's considered helping the newlyweds start a life together.

It’s become a thing in “today’s society” to give wedding gifts. However, a wedding used to be about sharing a very special ceremony with the people that you love and care about, not what they’re bringing you. It’s not a birthday. Bridal Showers are meant for this to “shower” the bride with gifts for her new home - again a tradition from back when the bride and groom didn’t live together or have a place of their own, usually coming straight from living with mom & dad. These were usually themed - a “kitchen shower,” or “bed & bath” so you would get specific items that you needed. The Groom used to have a “shower” type thing of their own, usually a “Bar & Bottle” type of thing, where they would get booze and accessories (think highball glasses or brandy snifters, martini shakers, etc.) to stock up their bar for when they had dinner parties or guests as a married couple.

[@shukhada6664]

You have to figure out where you're going to put them in your home and hope that you don't already have one. Some people even downsize when they start living together because they have two of an item. If somebody requested cash gifts for a reception or a wedding instead of gifts, I would absolutely respect that because the receiver of the gift is more important than the giver. However, texting people and requesting more cash gifts is not okay.

[@finestdime]

It's an interesting take. I think a polite note saying you don't have use for any household items so don't feel inclined to bring a gift is a much better approach. You can't request money. It's in really bad taste. Weddings are a celebration not a money making or gift getting machine.

[@sugainterlude5856]

"the receiver of the gift is more important than the giver" YES. I wish more people would realize this

[@HeavenlyEchoVirus]

Agree. I think it's totally acceptable to say, "Hey everyone, if you're planning on giving a gift, please give cash instead? It would be much more helpful to us." Which, it sounds like she did. It doesn't seem like she was like "hey you have to pay me x amount of cash" and honestly I feel like she would have preferred no gift to a non-cash gift. I think her response was totally fair.

[@kettospontde]

It's completely acceptable to ask for cash instead of household items as a gift where I'm from. It is kind of an unspoken custom that whoever attends the wedding gives a gift (usually cash) that at least covers the approximate price of their meal/drinks. You can give more than that, sure, but you at least want to cover what was spent on you as a guest for your meals and drinks. It can help the couple a lot who spends a ton of money to entertain the guests.

[@heart.9889]

I think saying "We have no need for gifts but a cash donation is appreciated" is totally fine

[@JiffyCakesGee]

I still think the most chill bride I’ve seen was at my siblings friends wedding. I helped photograph with my sibling (I was mostly the bag wench) and two of the brides maids were late for beforehand pictures. The bride was just like “oh well, they don’t be in the pictures” and went on with her day. Said bridesmaids also came about 1/2 hour after pictures without their makeup done. Wow.

[@nataliemaas8480]

We had a reg office wedding, a party in our rural property, and I wore a dress I had worn before (oh shock horror!) Best day ever, a night full of warmth, love and laughs. Everyone loved it and we didn't spend money we could use for a house. It's about love, not the dress, the reception or the cost FFS.

[@BritInvLvr]

When I was planning to get married for the third time, people asked what were my colors? What was my theme? For colors...whatever goes with chocolate cake and theme was eat and get drunk. Best wedding I ever had.

[@TheSapphire21onyx]

If they want cash, everyone should just give them a $1 lol

[@marlyd]

Are all these people somehow considering their loved ones accessories to their wedding always this inconsiderate of the actual humans in their lives??

[@quitelight9693]

Bridal party members are decor items, not humans, apparently.

[@Wednesdaywoe1975]

Etiquette 101: a gift is a GIFT. If someone asks you what you want, you can tell them, but you do not get to shake them down for cash if they are unwilling to give you cash.

[@AuntBibbity]

This x100000!

[@annkathrinhanamond2982]

But it is also rude to gift things to a person which she said to you she does not want! If someone only wants cash and you do not want to give cash, better gift nothing at all. Who wants a bunch of douple and triple household items after a wedding, which they have to invest time and work to get rid of them afterwords?

[@08wildhoney]

@@annkathrinhanamond2982 I totally agree. If the couple asks for money, give money. Or nothing. Now they've got a bunch of useless things they don't need.

[@touyatodoroki7935]

worst wedding i ever went to was back when i was still a girl. i got accused of wearing white to upstage the bride. it was a huuuuge thing. i cried. a few things: - i was twelve. i was obviously not the bride. - my parents were responsible for my outfit, because i was twelve. - the dress had a silhouetted (black) flower pattern that took over the majority of the dress. i maintain that the dress was black with a white background, but there are those that would argue that it was a white dress with a black pattern on it. regardless, most of the dress was black. it also came with a sewn-in petticoat to make it poofy, and i wore it over white tights and black mary janes with a lil black coat thingy. the bride's dress was a floor-length form-fitting gown that was white in its entirety, over high heels, under a veil. - i was not a member of the bridal party and was not included in any photos. - it was a destination wedding DURING the school year, and the bride wanted to send me home... alone. - her beau proposed to her during someone else's wedding, with her blessing.

What I did for my wedding was get married at the courthouse, and hold the reception 3 days later at the fire department. I thought it was really thoughtful that our guests brought gifts and cash. My aunt had me wear a brooch that's been in my family for generations, which was really nice, and my grandmother made one of the wedding gifts that said "Ashley and David" she made that with plastic canvas and yarn. We thought that was really thoughtful of her, and appreciated the amount of time it took to make it. We still have it framed.

[@KatieBellino]

Exactly. If you have a wedding you can afford, there is no stress to collect money from guests. Fine to mention that cash would be really helpful, but some real gifts are totally great too, especially really special ones.

The way I screamed out "wood cravings" when I saw that. This bride wants 21 custom, Disney villain related wood cravings. That's just... baffling. Like I know for the weddings I go to when it's done guests usually take the floral centerpieces home so they get extra use but who would want these. It's just a waste of time & money.

[@suzidickinson7783]

I had a backyard covid wedding in April of 2020. Just our parents there, with my violin teacher playing from his back deck. We broadcast it over zoom for our friends and family. Had been planning much larger, 80-100 people, in a park, with a bonfire potluck reception in our yard, but it was still lovely, and I have no regrets. We'll have a big party later, maybe for a five year anniversary😊

[@jennygibbons7683]

My wedding photographer posted this on his page a couple of days ago, felt so bad for him as he works damn hard. We need to talk about boundaries. It's another week of four weddings, another week of awesome clients and another week of amazing spotify playlists as I travel the country. During these busy times I must ask for a little patience though. Usually if I'm shooting or driving I won't return calls or e-mails ASAP. Currently I'm only able to get one day a week to myself and whilst I do enjoy my relationships with my clients, I do ask that you respect my privacy if I don't come back to you asap. I`m not shaming anyone but Sat night I was actually out at a comedy night ( outside! ) and I had four missed calls, and two angry emails from someone wanting to get hold of me to discuss what colour confetti they should buy....and why I wasn't picking up or assisting them. Now I totally know it's stressful guys, and I don't want to shame people into not seeking my advice, but a little patience goes a long way please. PS - couple in this kick ass photo WERE NOT THAT COUPLE!

Not sure about the bra thing at I know many enjoy wearing a sports bra cause it's more comfortable to them esp if they have a bigger chest

[@LookingForFrogs]

@@Chakura You need a brafitter advice if regular bra is not comfortable to you. Anyway, the way it's worded seem more like nice request, not a requirement, and if the dresses have for example spaghetti straps that can look a bit silly on sports bra, which is i guess why it was one of the points.

@Cookie Bookie Yeah that was a little weird. Like, why would your girls be wearing something that might show panty lines at your wedding??

[@dragoncantor]

A wedding reception is a party you throw for your family and friends so everyone can celebrate your marriage together. The definition of a GIFT is that it is given, not required. You can't require people to give you gifts if you invite them to any type of party, even a birthday party. You can't require people to give you a gift for your wedding, nor can you require people to do things for you for free. The only gift or service your guests must provide is good wishes. Gifts are a plus - thats why YOU ARE REQUIRED to write thank you notes.

When I got married we owned a Pub ...we had the do at the pub ..did are own food ..like poached salmon ..salads ..cold meats and cheeses etc .. posh fizz for the toast ..open bar for a couple of hours .. the most expensive thing was the wedding cake £150 (this was back in the mid 80s) after we left on our honeymoon the pub reopened and the punters finished the food and fizz and partied past shut tap and a great time was had by all !
