Traf Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Weddings can be as expensive or cheap as you want them to be. Nobody really wants a gift nowadays, so my approach is that if they're feeding me, stick enough cash in a card to at least make a dent in what a meal would have cost you. If they're only inviting me to the evening do, then it's a token cash gift in an envelope. Got three weddings booked in from Easter to mid-July. All day jobs in Bury & Liverpool that I'm really looking forward to and an evening only affair in Northamptonshire that I'm less enthused about.

I'm not not going, if covid is still about I will claim I'm riddled with it. Weddings an excuse to ponce money and gifts for a farce that endures about five years before the girl nobs the windowlicker or the bloke nobs a prossie.

Not in Crawley Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Going to my first wedding this summer in years. I'm of an age where everyone has had them, stayed together or been divorced. This one is for my cousin who I've met about 5 times. She's a Dr, so is her to be husband. It's at the Liberal Club in Victoria. Great as it's close to home, we have a Slaters in Bromley, so Ā£250 on a new suit, Ā£50 on on pressie, all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you insane? Just take a sleeping bag and doss down in a bus shelter, get a shower at the baths, probably about four quid and you could do a few laps of the pool. Take some White Cider as the gift, I think 2l of Frosty Jack is Ā£2.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
