How much to spend on wedding gift and when do you buy?
Got a wedding of a close friend coming up in 2 months. I noticed a lot of things are vanishing off the registry. Is it too early to buy and send their gift?
How much should I spend? $100? $150? $200?

Depends how much you like them and how much faith you have in the marriage, lmao
But what happens if you show up with no gift?

oh look at me! I'm so important, you should book a flight across the country to see me for a day because I'm confirming my relationship with the government! Isn't that so special? Arent you so happy for us? We are even paying someone to take pics of us all day!
lmfao.
If weddings didn't exist, and someone presented this idea to you, you'd think they were retarded/narcissistic

Don't have heroes; look up to no one. Because as long as someone's leading the way, the best you'll ever be is second.

I haven't gone to a wedding since I was a little kid ( I think I only went to two even then...one ended in divorce, the other is an uncle married to a Karen). I've been invited to numerous ones as an adult, but am an ******* and haven't gone to any of them.

I don't want to come to your event in the first place.You gotta get their registry early and find the cheapest item you can, that's the ticket

The traditional thing is give them enough to pay for your meal plus a bit extra, so it depends on how swanky the wedding is and how close you are to them.
For a good friend, I'd give something that means something to that person and maybe them as a couple like an engraved whatever with their names or something like that. Or if they are buying a house for example, a welcome mat with Mr and Mrs. whatever on it. Doesn't have to be expensive and you can find stuff on Etsy that would be done and delivered in that time. Stuff off a registry is just house junk usually.

I don't want to waste to much energy thinking about what to get a couple and would rather them get what they want and for me to fulfill my obligation as their friend/family member/work colleague/what have you.

just take your blood pressure tomorrow morning and use that to send him whatever dollar amount your bp is.,
so if you have bp of 190, you are sending $190
so if you have bp of 190, you are sending $190

Then I did nothing (no medicine, no more exercise, no weight loss, etc..) and it dropped down to 130ish.
I have no idea what was going on. I was actually 170-185 for almost 2 months.
No idea. Doctor is baffled now just as much as why I was 185 to begin with.

As much as I was pro vaccine, I did get the booster a couple weeks before my BP shot up….hey op!
1) hows your high bp doing? wasnt it close to 200 or something?
2) hows your low testosterone doing? still low?
3) hows your sex worker sister doing?

2) It’s like 390ish right now. Gotta start working out again and see if it raises, if not, gotta look into some long term plans.
3) She is doing well. Trying to find her a house but the market is dead.

i think i spent $100 for a close friend of mine, although I feel like I should've done $150 or $200 because the wedding was extremely nice and honestly that $100 i sent him probably didn't even cover my food/bar tab (open restaurant/open bar)
