Can I give this as a wedding gift?

[PAWeddingGuest]

I’ve NC for this in case anyone recognises me.

One of DH’s best friends is getting married, the bride is a very selfish and rude person who has managed to offend most of the grooms friends in one way or another, including me.

Both bride and groom have always been anti-marriage, it’s only a bit of paper types so we were surprised when they announced their engagement. She’s written on social media tonight that she’s only getting married to get cash gifts to go on an amazing holiday, to be fair I’d assumed this was the case based on things she’d said previously anyway and the twee poem requesting cash in the invites.

DH has said he’s only going to the wedding to support his friend because he doesn’t think many of their other friends will go, and if it was anyone else he’d have declined the invite.

The groom is a real foodie while the bride definitely isn’t and is a really picky eater, she only eats a few very specific things. Would we be unreasonable to give a kitchen gift, I was thinking an engraved mixing bowl or personalised cheese board so only the groom would use it?

Is he a foodie that likes to cook or likes to eat? I think a voucher to a nice restaurant would be better. Some place that he would really love. Unless he really loves cheese and would really use the plate.

You bloody genius

coco 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wouldn't give her a gift - but then I find myself caring less about social niceties now I'm 50 !

I think restaurant voucher for him to use great idea . If you want to include her how about a travel guide to wherever they are going on honeymoon ?

She’s written on social media tonight that she’s only getting married to get cash gifts to go on an amazing holiday,

I'd be putting that in my card - and not attending the wedding.

No, you'd only be contributing to landfill.

We should all be moving towards presents that we know people want.

Give a restaurant voucher, as requested, if you want to be a twat.

If he is a friend, then your DH should want to give them what they want.

Find out where they're going on honeymoon then get them a completely random currency that will have almost no value when they exchange it - like get 1000 Rupees so it looks like you've been really generous at first glance, but it's cost you a tenner

He's a foodie you say?
Have a look at a cheese club.
We use Pong for my DF's present each year but would work as a wedding gift for a good friend I think:
pong cheese club

Other cheese merchants are available.

Cheeseboard sounds good.
I thought this was going to be a re run of the monkey /orangutan gifts.

Agree, cheeseboard or something else foodie (posh salts/sauces hamper?)

Give her a bag of chocolate money with label saying "Cash this!"

Yes definitely get something that will be more for him, she sounds like a nightmare.

@AnastasiaVonBeaverhausen and @HappyHammy those are amazing ideas, I wish I was brave enough!

don't sign the card then she'll never know! have you got any old left over money from holidays or monopoly money? only joking but I have no idea what I would get them

You're a fucking genius. Wouldn't you love to have the nerve to write what you really think. Evil but brilliant

@cstaff yes I'd love to have such confidence! Unfortunately in life, you often have to tread caerphilly.

Don’t point score like this, it’s petty.

If she really is such a CF as you’re making out I just wouldn’t go.
