Sarah11 asked:


I am attending a couple’s engagement party and then there wedding. Is it appropriate to only get one gift or do I need to get two? It’s just that they registered at Crate and Barrel and that is really out of my price range especially for two gifts.

Ruby Tuesday asked:


My husband and I were having a bit of a debate last night and I need your help to solve it. What is the customary gift to give at a wedding? I of course think it dpends upon what you can afford, but standard I think would be $50 a person. He believes that it should be $100 per person. What is the standard, if any? Does it depend upon the relation of the newlyweds? And also,. what is the standard gift for a christening from grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. Thanks in advance
Of course I know it comes from the heart…everyone is always soo quick to make a villan out of someone else…I’m talking standard etiquette

Pika_pj asked:


This is my first attendance to a wedding, and am one of the bridesmaids. Is it still expected that I buy a gift off the wedding registry for the couple, even though I’m already in the wedding party?
I’m not sure of the etiquette on this one. Some friends of mine say yes, some say no, and others have no idea.

In Luv w/ 2 B, 1 G + 1 asked:


We are going to give my brother in law a compass as a wedding gift, and we will have te back inscribed to him and his wife. We want it to say something like May you always be each others’ compasses in life, but we need a clever (but short) way to say it. Any ideas on a good inscription? You don’t have to use my idea – you can make up your own if you have a good one!

Adam C asked:


It’s a work colleagues baby, who I’ve seen once, but a few from work are going to attend and I get on with the guy. I don’t want to make a big faux pas or appear over eager by buying a gift if it isn’t expected/the norm…
