When attending a wedding where both parties have been married before is it okay to spend less on the present?

yes or no in your opinion. They don`t need another 4 toasters etc.. Times are hard.When attending a wedding where both parties have been married before is it okay to spend less on the present?
I agree, it's not like a young couple just starting out. We asked for a £20 donation instead of wedding presents which helped towards the £35 a head meal.When attending a wedding where both parties have been married before is it okay to spend less on the present?
Do they have a wedding gift list. I have known couples who have lived together for years to put a gift list together for their wedding. I even thought my cousin who had been living with his girlfriend for 20 years might be getting married just so they could replace old for new!!





If there is no list and you know them well, why not suggest to them that the guests contribute money towards a honeymoon or even better to a charity of the couples choice.





In terms of how much you spend, this should be at your discretion. Even if they have never been married before.
I think the best solution in this case would be to give them money towards a honeymoon/trip. Get together with friends and put the money together and buy a certificate from a travel agent.
I would treat it like any other wedding and spend what I'm comfortable with. They should not be penalized for not being successful the first time around in my opinion.
Whatever you can afford I suppose.
Don't bother with a present.Go to the do,and eat as much food %26amp; drink as you can!
a present is a gift from your heart....and if you can only afford a congratulations card, that should be accepted
yes it's okay unless the second wedding has better food than the first
The amount spent is beside the point.


It's the thought that counts.
yes
yap its ok
get them a sandwich maker this time. it'll come in handy :)
