I don’t think giving gifts is an obligation, it’s a choice. In the desi community, people have made it as if you HAVE to give something which I find wrong. I think if people want to write ‘no boxed gifts please’ on the card, go ahead and do so, as a guest if I didn’t want to give money, I wouldn’t give anything because it’s important that people know they don’t have to.

Shay, I have never heard of a wedding where it is assumed that people WON’T gift.

No matter how cheap it is, but people would rather gift:) then go empty handed. It’s another story that the couple will HATE it to death but never go empty handed.

I am horrified (in a friendly way that you mention that you “wouldn’t give anything”

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
