Why does it always come down to money with brides and weddings?
It doesn’t always come down to money with brides and weddings. I understand where you were coming from in your last question, but this post is just making a vast assumption. Not everyone is like that. Some people just have that mentality and it is wrong. Nobody should be expected to spend anything when it comes to a wedding. Etiquette says wedding gifts are not a requirement (though I always give one), and neither are showers or week long bachelor/bachelorette parties. Spending within your budget (even if that includes not spending at all) is not rude, nor are you letting other people down. Those who expect people to shell out money they don’t have on frivolities are the ones letting their guests down.
