Read our privacy policy A bride has claimed that “70 percent” of her wedding guests didn’t bring her and her partner gifts. She also added that she was surprised that many of her guests didn’t say “anything to congratulate” her and her partner, despite “knowing how expensive weddings are.” In the comments, the bride also made a few clarifications about the wedding, noting the couple only invited people they “were super close to,” and not any “extended family.” Many people on Reddit came to the bride’s defense, noting they too would be upset about not receiving a wedding gift from so many guests. Some people shared similar experiences they had at weddings, while also criticizing the fact that guests didn’t even give the Reddit poster a small gift. But none of my friends have, and I just think it’s so odd.” According to the wedding site Zola, typically wedding guests pay $50 to $100 for gifts.
