I don't know. Depends on who. I never gave gifts before getting married, and then got gifts from people I had not given anything to when I got married. I would want to give, but it probably depends on how much I like the person.

Yes but so...

Certainly who the person is factors in but in general I always give something. Truth be told sometimes its smaller while other times its pretty generous based on our relationship to the couple, whether both my husband or I are close to them, etc. It doesn't really depend on whether they gave to us since I know plenty of bachelors (including my own husband) who likely never gave a wedding gift until he was married.

I think weddings, showers, etc. have all become a little too much about receiving gifts and not about celebrating the event. There is no obligation to provide gifts, and it is crass to ask for them - my response is to send a congratulatory note.

Most likely a token gift.

No way...n...

If I wasn't close to them and didn't want to send a gift, I wouldn't send one.

i sorta set my own rules for this stuff, but i rarely give wedding gifts if i have to travel/hotel, etc. for the wedding. if i don't go, i will usually send something small if i am not close to the couple.

If there's something that comes to mind that I would like to send, I will, but I don't feel as though I need to.
