Hey Ladies! I have not been on in forever. Hope everyone is doing well!
We were married in May. A friend of ours, and his now fiance, did not give us a wedding gift, just a card. We were thinking that his fiance may have taken the money that he put in the card for  herself. We wouldn't put that past her...
When they get arried in Sept. do we give them anything???
Thoughts please!

    i would still give. if they had been married before you, and you didn't know what they would/wouldn't give you, what would you have bought? that is what i would do.

    hope this helps!

    I don't think their gift or lack of gift or anything about your wedding has anything at all to do with you giving/not giving them a gift for theirs.

    If you want to and can afford a gift, you should give one. Regardless of their prior actions.

    Yeah. . It's not a tit for tat deal. You give what you feel like giving and what you can financially give.

    My BM didn't give us a 'physical gift'  or card (however I feel that her purchasing the dress and being there with us and doing the festivities with my Moh and I was a gift).

    Two months after our wedding, when she got married (I was a BM in her wedding) we got her a gift, because we could afford to and I felt like buying them something (granted.. I just like giving gifts too). . .
