a 30 rack of PBR?
or was he on to Miller Lite at that point?
either way, that would be a solid gift.

i like going to weddings.. lots of emotion fun, ect.. im happy to be apart.. went to two this year... i for sure cover our food and more. we got married in a balloon on the summer solstice in Mt. Shasta. it was awesome and perfect for us. our wedding was relatively cheap... just my wife, myself, a photographer and the hot air balloon guy in the gondola. so all we paid for was a balloon ride, the clothes, rented a mustang convertible to drive around mt. shasta, San Fran and Big sur area and nice lodging and food.. prob didnt exceed 5 grand. not sure.. we just spent and didnt keep track. we did have a private ceremony for close family and dinner the following equinox  |

He probably would have been happier with a 30 pack than the thing I bought from the registry.

I got engaged two months ago. I am quickly learning how awful wedding planning is. I really dislike it, but i'm putting my best foot forward. It's hard not to just be like "fuck it" when the future mother-in-law is around.
I just want people to have a good time and get drunk!

...since shit happens, and sometimes you are forced to bail, you should still send your gift. Etiquette dictates you should cover the amount of your plate. Sounds like they got off cheap based on the bill amount. This is not really true in the south. But I wish I would have had northern friends after I heard how much money people throw down for a wedding gift...and many just give cash? Not so down here AT ALL. What do you mean? People in the south don't give enough to cover their plate? And yes, 99% of the time I give cash. |

And note to self: if I am ever dumb enough to get married, don't invite Dan.

]Speaking of registries, how do you guys feel about people registering for stuff like PS4's and computers and really nice cameras? There is absolutely nothing wrong with adding "frivolous" items to your registry. We registered at only one place - Target. We scanned in a whole bunch of shit like PS3 and a 50in plasma and believe it or not we did get the 50incher! I was thinking a guest might tell his assistant to "buy the most expensive thing they registered and include a bottle of Dom on ice", and it worked! Except no Dom the bastard lol |

Can you imagine how the bride and groom feel now that this is news? My first reaction was "who are these assholes that think they can bill a wedding guest?"
Also in regards to gifts, my only gripe is that when people have these "wedding showers" now. I know they've been around but I don't understand the point besides just getting more gifts/money. I mean honestly who wants to sit around for 4 hrs and talk about how exciting your wedding is going to be. I'll pass.

We started doing Co ed keg parties for showers. With regards to a wedding shower we all usually pitch in and get them something cool and it allows us to party with them, just friends. The bride and groom get pulled in all directions on the day of. It also gives us an excuse to get a keg?

I completely think registering for stuff you actually want is a great idea. I hate buying off a registry because it's always something lame for the kitchen that their Aunt probably already bought. I would totally register on Amazon...
My friend got married a couple years ago and my family and I all chipped in and got them a hot air balloon ride as their wedding gift.
The last wedding I went to, I also forgot the card and still haven't given them anything so now I figure I can look for the perfect gift. I'm pretty sure you have up to a year to give a wedding gift and it's not rude.

And note to self: if I am ever dumb enough to get married, don't invite Dan. Lol. I would only want to be invited to wedding if you truly want me to be there. If my bringing a gift plays into the decision, you don't really like me all that much and shouldn't invite me. |

Always just drop a hundred in a card.
Makes it easy.
If some of my best friends get hitched probably do something else for them

For this special occasion a cash gift is the perfect gift. Typically for friends it's a crisp fifty, family is a slick benji. If they do the dollar dance thing then I make it rain another twun onda bride

Not so down here AT ALL. What do you mean? People in the south don't give enough to cover their plate? And yes, 99% of the time I give cash. I would say that no more than 50% of weddings I go to have sit down meals, and then there is a gift registry, but I do not know anyone (other than my friends from Jersey) that has ever mentioned that the potential cost of the plate played into what they bought the bride and groom. I have had this conversation before, and have determined that I would decline most wedding invites if I lived in the northeast. But if people are really paying that much attention, they are likely miserable to be around anyway. |

Nothing wrong with a card and cash. They can buy whatever they want. Fuck going to bed bath and beyond and looking for a fruit ninja.
