WWYD: I have a wedding tonight of a friend. He came to my engagement party, my wedding and my baby naming and never gave a gift. Would you still give a gift? If so, how much? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I thought he forgot at the wedding, but it's the fact that it happened three times that makes me believe it's intentional. [ Reply | More ]

it wasn't intentional. he was a single guy. he just never got around to it and then forgot. [ Reply | More ]

ugh, this is hard. The right thing to do is just give the proper gift, but my tendency would be to go cheaper! [ Reply | More ]

yes you give a give. two wrongs don't make a right, and gift giving is not a tit for tat game. Give the best you can afford [ Reply | More ]
