    I’m more offended by their misspelling of “accommodate” and lack of punctuation in the second sentence. What a terrible way to start their life together.

    I wouldn’t have done this, but I do kinda get it.

    We had a 100 person wedding. Friends, close family, and Aunts/Uncles (no cousins, extended relatives). There definitely were people interested in giving us gifts even though they weren’t invited. I told them basically the same thing as this card. It was annoying having to field those requests at the same time as prepping for the wedding, so I could see why someone would send this card preemptively.

    I feel like it would only be trashy if you were really expecting money from these people.

      Makes me wonder what we did wrong. We had a 20 person wedding. Immediate relatives only, parents grandparents and siblings plus their partners.

      I paid for everything, including an open bar. We got 1 gift from my wife’s grandparents and that was it.

        You didn’t do anything wrong. We did a small wedding too and it was infinitely better than anything I could’ve hoped for with more people and that’s what really matters

      Usually, if someone requests something that annoys me and I’m in a position to refuse, I just go ahead and refuse or outright disregard the request.

    I was uninvited from my sister’s wedding. But I was told it was at a public venue, so I could come watch the ceremony from a distance and I could still send a wedding gift.

    I didn’t care about being uninvited. I was only upset that they made Dad call me. If you’re going to be like that at least have the balls to make the call yourself.

    Honestly, I’d probably prefer getting this to a wedding invitation for most of the people I know. Of course I want to be at my brother’s wedding. But he’s already married, and I hope not to attend another until (ha!) my own

    As much as we would like to congratulate the bride and groom, but we are too busy being kept in your hearts.

    I wouldn’t send money. I would buy beer and play a video game instead.

    If we were close, I might send a fuck you card.

    I would send this reply - “As much as we would love to send you a wedding gift, we have been overwellmed in the upcoming months with wedding receptions that we have to attend and of course provide the happy couples gifts”

    Send back a generic Dollar Store congrats card with a $1 bill stapled.

    Instead of sending them money, I made a fake donation in their honor to The Human Fund, with its slogan “Money for People”.

    I keep reading that not as the venue doesn’t have enough space for everyone, but as the venue has banned certain people. I’m really hoping I’m wrong and it is a space issue.

      "unfortunately the AI that trump tower uses to match paint swatches to skin color has determined you may not attend our wedding. Please enclose a 250 dollar money order for the bride and groom to use for their honeymoon in Moscow.

      … ICE has been alerted to your location

      Love and peace

      Kevin and Marsha"

      Either A) the couple couldn’t afford a bigger venue or B) they had a special venue in mind that has a low capacity

    That’s why recycling bins were invented. Everyone saying they’d send a 50p gift, or correct the spelling and send it back… It’s not even worth that much effort
