can I be petty ? very lnog
1 week after DH and I got married, our friend and his FI asked " hey have you guys gotten ( yes, I am using the "word" gotten ) our wedding gifts ? we bought x and x off your registry " we say " no, we haven't - and they are still available on our registry " two weeks later friend says " wow, my bank account was never charged, you still haven't received any gifts ? " we say " no, no gifts "
two years later - gifts never arrived and we never got as much as a card.
in March we went out for our friends birthday. all 12 of us -- this was planned about 2 weeks in advance we go to Benny Hana ( hibachi style dinner ) and they don't order - saying " oh we had a late lunch " -- um WTF ?
for my birthday card that literally said " happy birthday - sorry its a recession "
now - said friends are getting married this weekend.
i don't even want to get them a card. it is her 2nd wedding - we aren't even invited to the ceremony or the 1st reception. we are at the 2nd reception thats just " friends " plus I highly doubt there will be any food.
will it be rude if we only get them a card ?
fwiw - she is an ICE/FBI investigator and works as a biologist and they have someone renting out their basement for $500 a month -- they are very very thrifty ( nice way of saying cheap ) - argh.
ETA - they sent an evite for an invitation - not even reall paper '

I'd give a card or a card with a re-gift from your house. Got anything laying around?
I wouldn't go buy something off their registry. Though I will admit I know someone who gave us a re-gift for our wedding and we did give them a real gift.
Don't make my mistake

That's obnoxious of them.
Get them a card that says "Congratulations on your marriage...ps...It's a recession"

I agree! They sound like they think it's funny and they know exactly what they were doing, so I say just a card... unless you can find some totally awful cheapo gift that they can't return
Dude. You're kidding, right? That's freaking ridiculous!
I normally say to do a gift, but that's just too much. If you just got a card, I would find that completely acceptable. I like the idea of the cheap-o wine glasses, but I'd probably just go with a card.
