Maid of Honor....Do I Need to buy a gift? |
The wedding is this Saturday and I have already spent over a $1000 on the wedding....3 Bridal showers=3 gifts, I hosted one of her bridal showers, then threw her a bachelorette/ lingere party, which was another gift plus I ate the majority of the bachelorette party cost. Then things have been incredibly stressful around her house, so she has been staying with me. I am her wedding planner so I have been cordinating with the photographer, caterer, and the hall represntative. She has said that I don't need to get her a gift, and my bank account thanks her for that, but I dont know. I'm a college student, working two jobs to pay for school, and am trying not to incure anymore debt this year. Sounds like you have done more than enough. Just get them a card and write a nice message about how happy you are for them and how thankful you are that they let you be a part of their big day. No you don't. I was a Maid of Honor too, and the showers, planning, and money already spent is a wedding gift and she will appreciate it. If she doesn't appreciate what you have already done and spent on her, then she needs a reality check! And to be honest she should buy you a "thank you" gift... If she said don't then take her up on it but you MUST get a card!!! No. If you have attended a bridal shower (not to mention 3) and brought a gift (not to mention 3) then you do not have to bring a gift to the actual wedding. Technically you did not have to bring a gift to all 3 showers. 1 gift overall would have been sufficient. Good luck with the wedding! You have gone above and beyond by this point.. I would say not a monetary gift but maybe something that she can keep all her memories in from the their relationship started to their wedding and beyond. I received a large painted box (that one of my bridesmaids painted with our monogram on it) for an engagement gift. It was one of my favorite things i have gotten yet... very inexpensive... I put a copy of the invite for the shower, something from the bach party the invite from the wedding.. and so forth.. it is a great little wedding keepsake box that I will have always! With all that you've done, I would say getting her a nice card would be enough. It sounds like you have done enough but you need to tell her ahead of time. She might be highly insulted and surprised when she doesn't get one. Just discuss it with her. |
