There is always something about the wedding label that makes people get excited. If they are not the guests who use whites, it is prohibiting children to attend, or worse … have to pay their own drinks!
Now, people online are debating if you really need to give the bride a wedding gift by attending their big day.
The creator of Tiktok, Alizé Ruiz (also known as @alizeruiz_) created a stir on the social networks platform after sharing a comic clip of his fun in what he received at his recent wedding.
“When we had 120 people at our wedding and we only received 12 cards and 4 gifts,” the video subtitled.
“And before they come for me, I don’t even say that it had to be money, but only a card with a nice message or prayer! I wouldn’t introduce myself to an empty hand wedding,” he added.
People do not understand the basic wedding label
The video has been seen more than 1.6 million times, and many intervene to share their thoughts.
First were those who agreed with the bride and insisted that it was simply rude to attend an event like a wedding without a gift to wish the newlyweds well.
“I feel that our generation no longer knows the common courtesy. Every time someone invites you anywhere, you bring some period,” said someone.
“I would die of shame if I didn’t bring a gift to a wedding,” another wrote.
Another surprised follower added: “Brother, is a wedding. At least one card, a bottle of wine or whatever and $ 100 tickets or something. Damn” and someone else agreed that the tacit amount to give is “minimum of $ 100”.
Some people were furious because of the fact that some people have lost all the touch with common courtesy.
“No one has a label!” Someone stripped.
And it was not just the gifts: “No one knows the wedding label. Starting with the RSVP.”
You don’t owe anything to the bride and the boyfriend
Surprisingly, along with those who agreed with the bride, there were also many people who intervened in the conversation, defending people who do not bring gifts.
“Do you mean that 120 people took some time from their lives to celebrate your special day?” Someone questioned sarcastically.
“You invited them for their presence and came …” another suggested.
Someone else insisted that “weddings are celebrations, not gift extortion events,” and another insisted: “People owe nothing because you decided to marry.”
How much should you give at a wedding?
For those who firmly believe that giving a gift is the right thing (um, because it is!) But they wonder what an acceptable amount is, many support the suggestion of at least $ 100 or at least enough to cover what costs the married couple to have it there.
When Vogue asked the Zola wedding website, they broke it perfectly.
“The average person spends $ 150 in a wedding gift. We suggest the following breakdown: co -workers or distant relatives must spend $ 50 to $ 100. Friends or family, $ 100 to $ 150. For close friends, family or if you are at the wedding party, you should spend $ 150 dollars or more,” they said.
“If everything that remains in the registry has exceeded their budget, it is a good idea to bring a gift card to one of the stores where they registered.”
