Default Re: how much do you really spend on a wedding gift?

Coloroo: You are so wise. My son and his wife did the same. Their wedding planner suggested that they choose gifts from the registry's that were $50 and over. My daughter-in-law just wanted stuff she could use, not store up. They wanted gifts that others could add to if that was all the money they had to spend. Plus, any money from the wedding could be used in any of the registered stores to purchase whatever didn't get purchased at 10 or 15% discount. Needless to say that they received everything that they could have possibly wanted because they were frugal and wise in their choosing of gifts. They had a very exclusive wedding on one of the private plantations in South Carolina and believe me the wedding was beautiful. The most beautiful part was their graciousness.
