A wedding invite and how much to give

3 replies

All the wedding invites I’ve had have been SO reasonable in the last couple of years.

However this time I got one with a really stern note about how no children were welcome and a poem asking for cash on the back Grin

As an aside how much is reasonable to give?! I’m not broke but I’m not rich... £50 would be about as much as I’m comfortable giving, is that ok? Would giving slightly less be mean?

Not sure what you mean about a ‘reasonable’ wedding invite. I had no children at mine. It was black tie and if I’d had kids then I’d have to not invite about 25 friends. I wouldn’t bring kids to a dinner party so why a wedding?
As for cash just give what you would have spent on a gift.

I’ve no issue with no children at weddings (quite the opposite) but I’ve seen people kick off on here about it. I was excited to finally receive an invite with stern no child policy and a fabled poem asking for money Grin

I would give £50 that's more than enough
