How Much

[Connemmara]

How much money would you put into a wedding card - I am not going to the wedding. Neighbour's last daughter.

[ELVIS68]

Nothing, a card is enough

[rowanwitch]

how much did you give the others... I reckon £20 should be enough

[Connemmara]

OMG - I gave the others £40 and I am perhaps thinking this is not enough this time so was thinking £50. I am very friendly with this neighbour. £40 'll do - thanks all.

[Psybbo]

I thought £50 if the neighbour is a good friend

[SlackAlice]

I don't put money in cards, they never arrive. Cheque will do.

[Connemmara]

Psybbo - it will probably will be £50 - 50 sounds better??? - I have, however, and will be this year buying 3 more of her newly-born grandchildren later this year - it really does go on and on for me but in a way I don't mind cos at least I am not "ignored"! As long as I can afford it that'll do me.

[Psybbo]

Alice, it's probably just going next door, otherwise cheque

[Connemmara]

Thanks Slack - neighbour just across the street.

I have a lovely image of you wandering round own buying up new borns and bringing them home in a basket Conne.

Forgive me , just a bit if fun.

[ummmm]

If you're not invited then I'd put nothing in the card.

^town

[Connemmara]

sorry Ummmm - misunderstanding here - I was invited of course - as I was to all other 4 children. And to all the 4 previous grandchildren's christenings.

[ummmm]

Okay...£50 then :-)

[tiggerblue10]

Last time I went to wedding I put £50 in the card.

[Connemmara]

PS And other neighbour's children's birthdays, Christmases - granny's 70th birthday and so the list is endless and I don't go to one.

[Connemmara]

Thanks again guys again £50 it'll be. Conne

[anneasquith]

hi conn, whatever you feel comfortable giving, but I do think a thoughtful card with nice sentiments is always appreciated.

[Connemmara]

When I GO to weddings I do usually give £100 and to family members £300. I tear the arse out of it I know. I think people look on me as the rich ole aunt which of course I'm not.

[anneasquith]

£300, conn im your long lost cousin, your invitation is in the post, just send the cheque now :) :)

[Connemmara]

Anne LOL - where do you live and your cheque is on its way. Of course you have to be getting married!!!
