Wedding gift blunder

Re: Wedding gift blunder

This is because Italians usually only invite close family and friends, and if you’re so close to them, why would you want a financial burden on them?

1. The 1st line of the article refers to gift givers being the brides “casual acquaintance”. There is nothing in the article that even hints at the gift givers being family or even a close friend of the brides.

2. In the case of friends and even family members…why is it the guests responsibility to make sure that the wedding isn’t a financial burden on the couple? Its not the guests planning the wedding. The guests aren’t the ones booking the hotel, decor, caterers etc. Accepting financial responsibility for oneself…isn’t that part of being an adult? If a couple feels they’re ready for marriage…shouldn’t they be capable of deciding how much money they can spend without going into debt?
