understanding that people are going to give you gifts is not the same as expecting them to. -- nm - znufrii Sep 17, 08:35
absolutely not. it never should be. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:34 10
- you know how many people would be thrilled if they left their wedding and there were zero gifts? - TFox Sep 17, 08:35 9
  - Oh, plenty of people would be thrilled so long as they had already been delivered to their home. - Ender Sep 17, 08:38 1
    - yeah, I never bring a gift to the actual wedding. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:39
  - and even if that is the case, it's still impolite to communicate that expectation to your guests. -- nm - znufrii Sep 17, 08:36 4

        huh? -- nm - znufrii Sep 17, 08:45
  - then they are jerks. Gifts are *never* required. all etiquette books are crystal clear on this. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:36 1
    - luckily, no one ever required a gift. -- nm - TFox Sep 17, 08:36
