Speaking of Sister's Wedding Gift ?

Ok.  I have a question about a gift for my sisters wedding.  We did not take one (it was a DW). I was going to send a card with a $50 BBB gift card in it. 

They gave us a check for our wedding for $150, but did not come. 

Should I send a bigger gift card or money instead since we did end up at their DW?  We did not stay for dinner so I don't think the "give a gift the equilivent of your meal" logic applies.

TIA!

Re: Speaking of Sister's Wedding Gift ?

  • I would probably give them the same gift that they gave me.
  • IMO, $50 is good.  I think the fact that you went to the wedding makes the $100 difference.
  • I would give them the same gift they gave me just so they don't have anything to b*tch about.  Even though you didn't stay for dinner, I'm sure they still had to pay for it.  Given the back story, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't send anything.

    I agree with this.  I'd pay the extra 100 to avoid the future drama, although it may not help = / 

  • just read the recap. Tracy, your family sucks at weddings. Mine does too, so I feel your pain.

    I agree w/ everyone. $150. Eventhough I would rather give them $1.50.

  • To be perfectly honest, SIL showed up for our dinner, left before we cut cake and did dances, her husband didn't come (noone told us he wasn't coming) and they gave us a check for $50.00.  Granted the situation is a little different than yours, but I was a little offended since we had paid for her husbands dinner and it was more than $50.00 (Among other reasons).

    So..i would probably give what they gave us.
