Wedding etiquette

^^ They do have a registry, but there's no china or flatware on it. They just moved into a house (but they previously lived together), so everything on their registry are things that they need. It doesn't help when fiance isn't telling me what he thinks our budget for this should be

Thanks for the help, ladies!

I'll bet if you shoot a number at him that's too high, he'll suddenly know what the budget should be!

i have been to many wedding where there is no registry. guests will usually give cash and drop off an envelope in a box ranging from $20 to $1,000 depending on how close they are too you or the family.

We aren't attending a family wedding in 3 weeks for various reasons including it's too far for me to travel due to my pregnancy, the bride & groom told us we were on their B-list & would only be invited if someone on the A-list backed out & finally, we just don't want to go.

I received an email from the bride & groom reminding us that though we weren't attending, they are still registered at 3 different stores so we can choose a gift to send them. WTH!?! Seriously?

Should I go ahead & send a gift? Or say screw you & ignore them? Yes they're family but we see them once every 4-5 years & they did not attend our wedding either.

If a couple flat out told my husband and me that we were on their B-list, I would tell them exactly where they could stick their B-list.

Are there items on the registry that you could group together under a theme? Something such as breakfast in bed, movie time, out and about, pictures of us, etc., or a favorite song title, can be as cheesy as you want (hopefully they have a sense of humor), or not if they don't have one.
