So I am posting this read because recently I have seen many discussions in regards to how much to give as a wedding gift or how some people feel based on the amount of the gift they received. I had heard for years that the cost of a wedding gift should be the amount of the plate which never sat right with me because then in my opinion I am paying to eat at your wedding when I did not have an opinion on what you are feeding me. Gifts are of course a nice gesture to be invited to someone's big day I do agree but I do not feel there should be an expected amount. I always wondered if that was a real rule or some odd etiquette rule that got invented. Came across this article. Thoughts?
