Even if a lot of money wasn't put towards the gift, I would still write a thank you. You can't write on a wedding invitation the minimum amount that must be spent on a gift. Besides, the focus shouldn't be on the gifts, it should be on the occasion.
Well a gift is something thats not obligated to be given but thru the kindness on ones heart one wants to give... and its more about what your celebrating then what your getting and if thats how you feel about it then the wedding should be a private affair.
yep! its much easier that way, even tho the big shebang can be fun too.
but theres no way i can afford it for my kids, so it will have to be the small way.
i wish my parents even thought a little of this. whatever i shall endeavor to do whether be college or wedding, i shall be paying for it all by myself because they had to do it for themselves and such i should do the same.
but i understand the whole wedding thing. cuz if you had five daughters would you be looking foward to paying for all of their weddings?
