Wedding gifts

No, your cousin is extremely rude.

Nope. You give what you can afford and what you want. Its a gift, it should not be an expectation.

I dont believe wedding gifts should be tit for tat sort of deal. Like yeah, some people can afford to gift hundreds of dollars for a gift while others just cant justify that much.
Your cousin is wrong for feeling slighted especially seeing as it was a gift to her son, not her.

No, your cousin sounds horrible. I don’t understand why they would expect to get the money back (essentially). I think you give what you want to/can with no expectations of getting it back.

This cousin sounds extremely rude and childish! You've done nothing wrong

I do not believe a gift should be expected at all. You gave a gift. That was a kind gesture. And for her to say anything is more rude than you not giving a financially equal gift! She doesn't need to know your reasons or perhaps financial issues resulting in the amount of the gift. I honestly cannot believe she'd even bring that up.

Almost everyone I know gives money gifts as a per person basis like you said. Nothing wrong with what you've given her son. She should be grateful and I'm curious how she knew how much you gave if the money went to her son. Extremely rude of her in my opinion.

Yes, I agree.. so true. Poster's cousin shouldn't of brought anything up. Shouldn't be comparing at all.

No, you give what you can afford.

Sounds as greedy and materialistic as my ex sister in law. She had one child and my ex husband had two. She would spend lavish amounts of money on expensive Christmas gifts for my ex stepchildren. Say, $200 each, and then be upset when we didn’t spend $400 on her daughter in return.


Like, what? Crazy witch. So glad to have divorced her brother and in the process become free of her insanity. LOL

You are not rude, but your cousin is for even thinking to bring that up! You could have given nothing at all!
