wedding present?!

[sineadHG]

our 2yo ds has been asked to be a page boy at DH's cousins wedding. They asked him about a year ago and as the wedding is approaching we asked, what he would need to do / wear

They sent us a link to a suit, which they said they would buy for him. it wasnt available in his size (started from 3years) so i suggested we should try it and see if it fits as it may have been too big. she agreed. my dh ordered it to our local store, and the cousin said great, let me know how you get on. we sent a pic (it fitted and looked great!) and she text back saying to let her know how much it was and bank details.

my dh his now thinking of saying to her that will buy the suit for him as their wedding present to them.....is that unreasonable?! i think its a bit cheeky but dh seems to think they will be getting a better deal as they have just asked for cash gifts and the cost of the outfit is more than what we would have given as a present!

what do you think?

That's not unreasonable at all. Its a good idea :-)

I wouldn't. Just give them the cash gift. Maybe something cute and tiny from DS as a keepsake?

I would let her buy it and give them cash.

I know what your DH means but I would keep them separate.

I'd keep them separate; let the couple pay for the suit and give them a cash gift as planned. It's just a bit cleaner imo.

Seems sensible but if you end up putting it on eBay afterwards, be discreet!

Keep them separate!

Separate. It is a little impersonal otherwise, but a little sentimental gift or whatever.

I think that's a lovely thought, certainly doesn't hurt to suggest. What a thoughtful friend :)

If you've already agreed that she would pay and you've given her your bank details for the money back don't bother trying to change it.

A present shouldn't be about the amount you spend.
