My close girlfriend is getting married two weeks after me and she and I are both feeling the pinch. Not only do we have our own weddings, we also have 4 other weddings between now and then end of the year. Given that she is getting married two weeks after me, is it appropriate to ask her to "call it even" on a wedding gift? I feel like it's silly for her to give me a check then to just turn it around and give it back to her in 2 weeks. Thoughts from other brides out there? Am I being too cheap? I'm sure I'm not the only one about to go crazy!
