Flip Out Or Forget It? - Guests who don't give gifts

No guests for us but... gifts are never required! This isn't a transaction, it's a celebration!

You hit the nail on the head. I agree and second your forget it.

Forget it, I am not at all worried about gifts. Majority of my guests are coming from out of town so I don't expect anything.

Forget it. I'd be cheesed but could get over it.

Forget it. I literally just want to celebrate with everyone I love.

Forget it! I mean, I'll never forget it, but I definitely wouldn't be impressed tbh.

Forget it! There’s no expectation of anyone to bring gifts

FORGET IT! Honestly I would be shocked if anyone said Flip Out.....

Gifts are a GIFT! They shouldn't be EXPECTED because then it becomes a payment!

I want you there to enjoy my day! If you want to give a gift I beyond appreciate it! Or if not, like I have absolutely no right to cause a stink over it! Nor would I! My friends coming together to celebrate my love and marriage is all the gifts I need!

Forget it. Is it rude? yes, but I wouldn't risk a terrible conversation over something that might seem trivial compared to the rest of the day. I'd probably just remember it for any other events in the future.

Forget it. We invited them because we wanted to celebrate with them, not because we wanted a gift! I went through my guest list recently to send thank Yous and discovered a few people didn’t get us a gift. I still sent a thank you. I’m going to remember who was there, not what gifts we got.

I realize not everyone can afford to go to wedding's just because invited. I have traveled far for weddings and did all the pre wedding bridal showers. If I went to yours I would expect it. If you can't give a gift you can still give a card with your best wishes inside.

A little flip out. I know everyone's situation is different, and I don't EXPECT gifts (or cash, as we are 'registered' with our honeymoon)... however even someone who can't afford to give a gift can afford a dollar store wedding card where they may thank you for inviting them and give you some 'best wishes'...

Forget it : You shouldn't be planning a wedding to get gifts haha.

Forget it. We are asking for no gift for our wedding. Yes, cards will be nice, but I'm also okay with just an in person congrats!

Flip out a little... I don't care if you don't get us a gift but it doesn't take much effort or money to give someone a card.

Forget it, it might hurt that they didn't even try but their presence is fine with me!

Forget it! Obviously it’s nice to get things but you don’t know what situation people are in. I’m not expecting people to give us gifts. On our wedding website we included a small “registry” button with a link but didn’t make a big deal about it.

Forget it. It's extremely rude but honestly whatever. If you're expecting a gift so much so that you would be mad if you didn't get one, its not truly a gift then.

Flip out. Giving a gift is just standard practice and anyone who doesn't is rude beyond description. Even if it's just a card and a five dollar bottle of wine.

I really hope it'll be 'forget it', but I know in the moment it might be a bit hurtful not to get a gift from a friend. That said - I'm really sure it would be a 'forget it'.

Forget it. The point of your wedding is not for gifts. It’s for people to celebrate your marriage with you. You chose to get married, you chose to pay for everyone’s dinner. You shouldn’t expect people to give you a gift because of that

Forget it. Some people don’t have the money and it seems rude and childish to throw a fit about someone not getting you a gift. Having a weeding is not about getting gifts.

Forget it. who cares? that’s not the point

I'd be peeved as that seems incredibly rude and cheap. Personally, I wouldn't go to a wedding if I knew I didn't have the finances to be able to bring a gift to the wedding. If the person let me know upon being invited that they are tight financially then that's one thing (and I'd be more understanding then).

Forget it.

I am already preparing for a couple family members to give small, and when I mean small I mean like $100 for 8 people. It's understandable, just at least get us a card and write something nice in it!

Forget it. We are actually asking for no gifts so I'll actually flip out if a guest ignores that and gets us a gift. We live in BC and the wedding is in Ontario, we can't bring gifts back on the plane. I will actually send the gift back home with the guest.

Forget it.

BUT I would never be that guest.

I would just forget it, you're going to have people like that no matter what! It could be because they aren't financially able to - but if they aren't then you just have to take note of that for theirs
