Some of you may remember my thread from a few months ago in which I asked whether I was being AIBU not to give cash as a wedding gift, because I was skint.
The couple had asked for cash, though not in a poem. I said I was nervous about giving cash as I would only be able to afford £10 or £20 and thought that would look stingy.
I got lots of responses, varying from telling me to give a heartfelt gift instead, to giving a small amount of cash, to cancelling going to the wedding and giving the happy couple the cash I would have spent on a hotel as a gift.
Anyway. What I chose to do was give them a personal gift with a handwritten note saying how touched I was to share their special day with them etc.
The upshot? Not even a thank you. I'm not bothered about formal thank you cards, but no text, facebook message, anything.
So all of you who said they wanted cash and cash alone were, indeed, correct! All this "presence over presents" stuff in the invitation was bollocks.
Well you live and learn eh!
