I am not trolling. I honestly don't know how stuff like this works. I am just speaking for me and my boys. None of us will trip because someone "broke tradition" and brought a box to a wedding.

Not gonna quote every one lol, I'll just answer

1. Yup $0, $5, $10... more than one of each.. many $0 and we actually had people not give us anything, no cards, no money, no gift

2. We opened the cards the morning after, we were opening cards and our jaws just dropped. We were just like wow lol, do they know how much their plates were?! And it was the main ones getting drunk.

And yup, names on the cards and all Lolol
No shame at all.

And we had like 250 people invited, plates paid for and all at $90 each
Some people actually begged to be invited and some confirmed that they'd come and didn't come and didn't send a gift or reimburse. Insane
 
And then was getting hit with the "oh I still got you on the gift" or "I forgot it at home" or "imma mail it to you" lol

I got married in August 2016 lol

That's just messed up....giving you $0, $5, & $10 and drinking all they can on the open bar, which is coming out of your pocket.

I understand that.

I just said I wonder how much someone would actually TRIP if someone "brought them a box" to their wedding.

Having been in several wedding parties and baby showers, generally, its best to either give cash or send gifts to their house. Packing up cars with gifts and unloading it at home after a long day is simply a *****.

Less about tradition, more about practicality IMO
 
Yeah man crazy.
Cause we even gave out snack bags as parting gifts when they left lol

Got the upgrades on food selections and all lol
 
I'll put it like this
We had about 200 people there (reception), 250 invited to ceremony and reception, 375-400 invited to ceremony only (combo of some that couldn't attend both, didn't want to attend both, some we didn't choose to have do both, some changed their mind Day of, etc)

Didn't clear 7k in card money or honey fund gifts
And we spent 50-60k on the wedding

Yea but I don't recall seeing people giving the family anything. Gifts, cards, anything.

Honestly though, I wasn't paying attention so I wouldn't even know what expectations are in place

OMG bruh :lol: :wow:

Bunch of cheapskates outchea.
 
notoriousmj23 notoriousmj23 bro im so heated for you. Its not even the gift aspect but just the principles man, yall know some scumbags.

It also might be a cultural thing. Most asian weddings (especially vietnamese ones) you're almost guaranteed to at least break even. Ive never been to a non asian wedding so i dont know how the rest of yall roll.

So question

If I show up to a wedding with aboxed gift, that would make me look bad and classless?

Like what could happen, since you are so against it.

Seriously asking

What u think? SOmeone gonna put hands on you? :lol:

Am I SO against it? No. Would you looking kinda stupid? Yup.

How many weddings you been to where guests show up with boxes of gifts?

Folks register for a reason...then you have a designated location where envelopes are dropped off.

Last thing a bride/groom want to deal with is carrying a cuisinart mixer out to the limo when the night is concluding.

So you came empty handed?

Figures...

Surprised you didn't wrap up the coupon section from the Sunday paper and pass that off as a gift.
 
Man I remember I gave my boy an envelope with cash and a letter. I'm usually the comedian of the group so I wrote him some lame **** that would make him laugh. I wrote, "congratulations, but it's me you should be marrying." Later I get approached by his wife at the reception. She tells me that she'll forget this happened if we never mention it. Guess she read it and thought I was talking to her.
 
Yeah. Everyone I tell the story to ends up upset and wants to fight lol

People be like "oh you balling after that wedding!"
Nahhhh lol only if you knew
It was a mess
We were kinda bent outta shape in the beginning

My wife kinda called it happening

But the whole time leading up to the wedding I'm like "if people JUST gave $50, we'd have x amount of dollars" and "no one is gonna give under $90, they know how much weddings cost"

Boy was I wrong lol

We heard horror stories but didn't think it would be us... until it was. So now we warn every couple lol

And it came from people who were married lol

I didn't even KNOW those people man.

I went with someone who is friends of the people who got married.

She took care of the gift from "us."

This is one of 3 things.

1. You never been to a wedding.

2. You didn't give the bride/groom anything.

3. Trolling.

Leaning towards 3, because u like to be contrarian/devil's advocate all the time.

So this is the only wedding you've been to.

Makes sense that you're so clueless.
