Wedding presents

[cavan4ever]

How do we have the same attitude as the english??

Just because we feel £100 per couple isnt miserable. Catch yourself on

Its more english than irish to give crap wedding presents.


Well i wont be asking people that give crap presents or nothing atall i have already sussed that out from other friends realations etc.

Exaclty cos there the ones who just stand at the bar all night complaining.

ok calm down everyone, £50 is fine. End of matter. I will accept that although it is not my opinion. I am starting to sound like I am on a six-figure salary now  people get so hot under the collar on a subject which should not be deemed as so touchy

take a look at ANY recognised hotel venue in any part of Ireland and see the average cost per meal, thats all I am saying, I feel the moral obligation to at least cover the cost of the feed, anything after that is up to the couple themselves... I just think pintsofguinness has a major gripe on "paying for someone else's wedding" simple as that and that the invitation is seen as a summons

cavan4ever is right, the english are notorious for giving crap wedding presents... I lived there

I could just imagine my mate giving me £20 as a present

im with pints on this one (probably the 2st time iv agreed with an applemuncher).
Some shocking views on here, and i think it speaks volumes for some peoples attitude toward money.
Dose of reality needed.

The reality is that people have different outlooks on life and all things inbetween. Shocking really 

For instance, Pints is sitting at a wedding thinking of how much it cost him and of the holiday he could be on. If thats his attitude I don't think he should have went as he isn't doing himself any favours and is been two faced to the bride and groom.

I think some people think that all bride/grooms are out to make money and spend money. Totally wrong is majority of cases.

When I got married, money was never an issue. And I don;t mean that in an arrogant way, we priced everything and took the best value. Paid big money for a top band but didn't have lavish seat covers, extra cars for wedding party, extra flowers etc. We went very light with trimmings and shopped round to get best deals. It wasn't an issue in that we didn't look at what we expected to "earn" from the day. We spent on what we thought was going to make it a great day and it was.

yes but I'm with Billy, a shock is on the way, I'm surprised it hasnt hit them already. 

I just think pintsofguinness has a major gripe on "paying for someone else's wedding" simple as that and that the invitation is seen as a summons

Id rather receive a summons than an invitation, especially when it takes me five minutes to think of who the invitation is from and how they know me and then it dawns on me I haven't seen them since school ffs.  But no, I'd say they're inviting me for my company!

For instance, Pints is sitting at a wedding thinking of how much it cost him and of the holiday he could be on. If thats his attitude I don't think he should have went as he isn't doing himself any favours and is been two faced to the bride and groom.

I generally only go to family weddings and close friends, I ignore the rest of the invitations.

Have a small private wedding then and what you save would probably cover a deposit.
