Wedding presents

[Rois]

Ah listen, I even said on Sat night that half of me hoped we'd lose but I take it all back.

Ah well, silver lining is right Tony.

I just heard of someone who got a wedding invitation in the form of a bar of chocolate.  Printed on the bar was something along the lines of "open the wrapper and see if you're a winner", so you open the bar and hey presto you get a piece of paper congratulating you because you're invited to the wedding of..........

I swear I'm not making it up.

So Willie finally got a bird. Fair play to him.

Sorry for dragging this up again, I couldn't be bothered trawling through all the posts but thought I'd ask-
I've been invited to a team members wedding-full day. Went on his stag and had every intention of going to the wedding.
Booked a holiday and it means I am going to miss the wedding, I would have given £100 from me and her if I had been going-I would have been paying for it.
Now that I'm not going how much should I give- was thinking £40? That enough considering I'm not even going to be there?

Not a short answer but give whatever you're comfortable with.

This set standards for presents is ridiculous.

I'll sum the thread up for you.

Opinion A - 100 quid?! You're a miserable hoor, people expect you to cover their helicopters, string quartets and the like these days (and if possible turn a profit) so a tonne is shy of the mark. 40 quid?! etc. etc.

Opinion B - Give whatever you can comfortably afford. If the bride and groom want all the bells and whistles that's their lookout and shouldn't be expecting the guests to bankroll it.

I'm in Camp B.

Couples who do wedding present lists are the lowest form of gimps if you ask me.

reading through a few of those posts again - funny that one of the "big shots" was crying about having to get his car fixed a few weeks back

You knob jockey pints. It was not solely about the money with David prentice it was the principle you complete dick, something you would know little about as you clearly lack any. Grow up you little worm.

No. Merely letting a total plank know what I think. I know what it costs to pay for a wedding meal per head (which I doubt a little jumped up gimp like pints would) and with all due respect to each individual pocket, £20-£30 per person does not go very far, never mind the string quartet, band, supper, cake, etc... on the day itself, now fcuk off you little w@nk pog

For telling someone in no uncertain terms what I think of them after bring goaded by them in the antagonistic fashion that they may think is acceptable? I won't stand for that crap from no-one especially brave keypad warriors hiding behind a silly name

Do you fail to see the irony ?

Billyboots was right.

Should I send him my mobile via pm and ask him to give me a call to discuss his reasons for his silly goading?
