I was just going to ask a similar question.
Mr. Pi Phi's former roommate is getting married this summer. Mr. Pi Phi isn't exactly the best of friends with the groom and quite frankly can't stand his fiancee. The groom had also stated to Mr. Pi Phi that he expects at least a $300 wedding gift. 1. Mr. Pi Phi and I can't afford that and 2. it's a little insane to spend that much money on people you don't really like. and 3. Who asks for a specific amount for a wedding gift??!!!!
Anyway, Mr. Pi Phi told the groom that we couldn't afford the wedding gift and that it would best not to invite us. Turns out we're still apparently getting an invitation (I'm thinking cash grab). We've decided not to attend the wedding, but I still think it would be the polite thing to do to get them a gift and a card. What kind of gift would be appropriate without being cheap and seems like we're doing it out of spite. I thought a gift card to a store like Linens N' Things would be good, but how much is appropriate?
