The work of wedding gifts is a bit complicated. Although it is not at all mandatory to make a gift for the young couple, most consider it the right thing to do. Itâ??s a gesture and a nice way to express your support for the newlyweds.
However there are some people, around 7-10% of non-gift invitations. Who are these people and how do you deal with them if something like this happens at your wedding?
PS: What you need to do is consider the specific circumstances, your relationship with the person, and act (or not act) accordingly.
People who accept the invitation but do not show up
It happens that someone accepts the invitation and does not show up at the wedding, because "something unexpected happened to him". Often these people pretend to forget after the wedding and do not take the trouble to send a gift. In fact, they should do so just to justify the stress they have caused you, as well as the expenses you incurred for it and not to be around them at an important moment like weddings.
How to deal with it?
If this person is distant from you, then something like that is understandable. But if this person is close to you, you will surely feel disappointed. However, you donâ??t have to ruin your relationship with him, just leave him behind.
Crazy friend
We all have a carefree friend who is everywhere. They are as much in one place as in the other and forget to comb their hair, no longer make a wedding gift. It is inevitable that these friends will neglect the wedding gift, even though it may have been a long time since.
How to deal with it?
If a few months have passed since the wedding and you still feel neglected by your friend, then consider having an honest conversation with them. Make it clear to your friend that the nature of the gift doesn't matter to you, but you would like at least one letter or message to make you feel valued.
The guest to return it with the same coin
If you go to someoneâ??s wedding and donâ??t bring them a gift, then donâ??t expect this person to bring you anything. It is very clear what you will plant, you will reap!
The person who does not have the means
You also need to consider the possibilities that a guest has. Just be thankful that this person respected you by coming to the wedding.
Distant people
There will always be a distant person / friend you have always suspected of inviting or not. Usually these people come to the wedding because they have decided to have fun. They are the ones who just dance all night, drink and don't want to know where they are. In most cases, they do not even bother to bring a symbolic gift.
How to deal with it?
Itâ??s normal to feel offended, however just distance yourself from this person without being rude. If you are one of those people who are not interested in wedding gifts, then keep the same relationship as before.
