Bride Asks Guests For Gifts Worth $400, People Are Roasting Her Online
Weddings usually are beautiful celebrations of love, partnership, families and friends coming together to spend this magical day with two awesome humans. The amount of preparation and effort it takes for both bride and groom to organize it can be stressful at times. That could be one of the reasons why some brides overthink too much and all of a sudden turn into a phenomenon called “bridezilla.” And as it is customary in many places to bring gifts for the newlyweds, some couples organize some sort of a gift guide for guests, some are happy to receive money, and some have no particular expectations and love anything that their loved ones decided to pick.
A Reddit user, DexOrangeCounty, shared a post from Facebook that was probably created for the guests of the wedding party. And is not just your regular RSVP message—it’s a list of gifts that the bride expects to receive, they are not cheap, and there are no exceptions. Let us know in the comments if you’ve had similar experiences with the notorious bridezillas.
More info: Reddit
RELATED:
A future bride who has remained unnamed has compiled a hysterical list of wishes for things she wants as gifts from her wedding guests
Image credits: Scott Webb
The post shared on Reddit’s online community ChoosingBeggars dedicated to posting screenshots, pictures, or stories of people who are being way too picky when begging for things, received over 11.7k and 1.2k comments. It was also reposted on Reddit’s weddingshaming community, which is self-explanatory and has a really fun tagline that reads “a place to shame wedding themes, brides, grooms, wedding party, in-laws, outlaws, guests, Uncle Bob, vendors… you name it, we shame it!”
The future bride, whose identity is anonymous, posted a quite extensive list of gifts for her guests to choose from. At the beginning of the list and at the end she clearly states that there are no exceptions, but she could make some slight changes if it’s discussed with her prior.
The bride was immediately branded as selfish by Reddit community users for expecting her guests to invest $400 dollars minimum on items such as Gucci or Louis Vuitton purses, gift cards from luxury stores, Korean beauty products, Calvin Klein or Moschino clothing. And all of that came with a spreadsheet to make sure the gifts won’t be duplicates. The comments flooding in from the shocked online community members were pretty funny, grasping at the high expectations the bride has and what her idea of wedding gifts is.
One Reddit user also pointed out was that none of the items were for the groom and it seemed that all of the gifts were for her. The bridezilla also encouraged her guests to promptly choose their items to give so that they wouldn’t have to buy her something they wouldn’t like to get her: “Remember to apply early if you don’t want to get me a Gucci purse or anything you don’t want to get.”

Reddit users were absolutely shocked, some were laughing about it, and some came up with ingenious ideas of how they would teach the greedy bride if they were to be guests at the wedding

This woman has a lot of growing up to do and a lot of learning about life. Hint: The world does NOT revolve around you. Things do not define your personal worth or value as a person. Fancy clothes, fancy purses, fancy anything does not make you a better person. Your priorities are royally screwed up, but I doubt you even care or notice. BTW: stuff does not make you high class and, lady, you are as low class as it is possible to be. Just wow...what an absolute loser of a human.

I'm accepting bets on just how long -- or short -- this marriage lasts. My best bet...less than a year, probably less than 6 months. Someone this self-entitled, clueless and high maintenance won't make anyone a good partner. She thinks only of herself and her desires, not even needs. If she were my friend (HIGHLY unlikely) I'd tell her to rethink her priorities and her selfishness. BTW: any chance she is marrying one of the Trump boys? She'd fit right into that clueless, ethically challenged, self-entitled group.

A few years ago when I turned 50 I rented a venue, ordered beer, wine, and other drinks, made all the food myself, and I wrote on the invitation that gifts were not mandatory, and if they wanted to give me something, it would be nice if it was something they planned, like a picnic in a park or somesuch. I mean, I turned 50. There was really nothing I needed. Of course people brought me gifts anyway. I was grateful, but I really just wanted people to be there and party with me. This bride is insane. I have a rule, at any "big" events (weddings, 30, 40, 50, 60 years birhdays, along those lines) I give for about $80/£60/€67/DKK500. Requesting gifts for not under $400 is whack. If everybody did this and you had to go to 5 or 6 weddings a year it would be a small fortune.

I didnt register for gifts for our wedding. We had been living together for over a yr. We had a small baby (he was 6 months when we married) and b/c of that a lot of our friends had just bought us baby shower & baby gifts. We were 25 & had friends still in school & working minimum wage jobs, if any jobs at all. We honestly needed money more & thats what we got by not registering. We did get some cool presents from family though. Tons of picture frames/collages, pizza stone, stuff like that. We were extremely appreciative of all of it
Becca Gizmo the Squirrel 4 years ago
All the guests should get together and purchase items only from dollar tree. Wrap them all up nice so they look expensive. Then they should all attach a blank gift card to Calvin Klein and Gucci and all those other places so when she shows up at Gucci and others cash register to pay all of them will have a $0 balance. When she first receives the dollar tree spatulas and the like, she will think it was a tacky joke present attached to the real gift of the $400 gift cards until that precious moment when she realizes they are worth nothing and the real gift was the dollar tree spatula and balloon. Then maybe email the poor sucker of a dude that married her some good online gift cards to home depot or wherever HE likes to shop.

I don't understand why Americans spend like $100 000 on their weddings. Is that why they ask for those expensive gifts? I got married at city hall (for free, and it was optional if you wanted to be there for the ceremony) and then spent maybe $3000 for a nice dinner and party for all my friends. Didn't ask for any presents but what people bought meant so much more because they actually thought a lot about what to give us.

I don't give gifts at weddings. Last time I did the couple didn't last beyond a year. Second to last one was already separated after two weeks. If I ever choose to attend a wedding (which I never will because I hate the damn things), they get a card with "IOU one wedding gift after you give me 5 years of marriage" on the inside.

That’s why I like/hate weddings here in Japan. It’s standard as a friend or acquaintance to give $300 to the couple. If you don’t want to give it, don’t come to the wedding (also most of the time people are understanding if you can’t make it, or bend the ‘rule’ if you really can’t pay that much). It sounds like a lot, but it takes the financial burden off of the couple and their families. You basically help pay for the wedding, what you eat (usually really delicious food), and give the couple enough money to start out a marriage with enough money to settle in well. It’s the same at funerals. You also receive a really nice gift at both events as well. Basically the thinking is that these events shouldn’t leave the families struggling financially. It’s a group event, it should be paid for as such. There is way more detail to all of this too. Just putting in my two cents.

Each guest should demand an itemized receipt as to why the $400 is significant. She obviously is not planning on returning any gifts for cash value and no wedding, no where, no way, no how can make chicken taste super expensive. No one ever said "Mmmmmm. Tastes just like lobster" biting into a Buffalo Wing.

My brother and his wife got married in our parent's backyard with my mom as the officiant. They asked for nothing and raided our storage units for second hand items they needed and offered to pay for them. Everyone pitched in to make the food, even the bride. It was an awesome wedding and reception.

First, I'd never go to that wedding or send her a gift. I can't imagine anyone I know doing this so I guess I wouldn't be invited to this person's wedding to begin with.

I would just draw her a car for expensive artwork, it's car related and amazing art. Done that as a kid for fathers day. Since i gave him ties or drawings each year, one year i drew him a tie. Once i got him a ferrari since he wrote "buy dad a ferrari" on his birthday date on my school planner, he didn't specify the size so i got him a fancy one in a second-hand collectors toyshop. I would gladly outsmart bridezilla with my twisted mind.

I'd just like to say that for my first wedding, my husband and I were young and had never lived on our own before. Having said that, for some reason, for my bridal shower, I got a crap-load of home decorations. AFTER the shower, we had to spend thousands on cutlery, pots, pans, storage containers, knives, spatulas, toaster, coffee maker, drinking glasses, mixing bowls. We were literally starting out with absolutely nothing.I blame my maid of honor who put down the colors we planned on decorating our home with, instead of my registry info. So instead of a $3 whisk, some folks spent $50 on an ugly ass floral purple stuffed duck door stop. Seriously, my home colors were dusty rose and that colonial gray/blue (early 90's). How does a purple duck go with that???

We were 25 & had friends still in school & working minimum wage jobs, if any jobs at all. We honestly needed money more & thats what we got by not registering. We did get some cool presents from family though. Tons of picture frames/collages, pizza stone, stuff like that. We were extremely appreciative of all of it

All the guests should get together and purchase items only from dollar tree. Wrap them all up nice so they look expensive. Then they should all attach a blank gift card to Calvin Klein and Gucci and all those other places so when she shows up at Gucci and others cash register to pay all of them will have a $0 balance. When she first receives the dollar tree spatulas and the like, she will think it was a tacky joke present attached to the real gift of the $400 gift cards until that precious moment when she realizes they are worth nothing and the real gift was the dollar tree spatula and balloon. Then maybe email the poor sucker of a dude that married her some good online gift cards to home depot or wherever HE likes to shop.

I don't understand why Americans spend like $100 000 on their weddings. Is that why they ask for those expensive gifts? I got married at city hall (for free, and it was optional if you wanted to be there for the ceremony) and then spent maybe $3000 for a nice dinner and party for all my friends. Didn't ask for any presents but what people bought meant so much more because they actually thought a lot about what to give us.

Just don't give her a gift at all if she only accepts expensive things...

I don't give gifts at weddings. Last time I did the couple didn't last beyond a year. Second to last one was already separated after two weeks. If I ever choose to attend a wedding (which I never will because I hate the damn things), they get a card with "IOU one wedding gift after you give me 5 years of marriage" on the inside.

Sounds like the people around you have a terrible track record. Most people around me stayed married. Only one divorced within two years, after the spouse refused to attend marriage counselling ("I'm happy. You go without me." - famous last words for marriage).

That’s why I like/hate weddings here in Japan. It’s standard as a friend or acquaintance to give $300 to the couple. If you don’t want to give it, don’t come to the wedding (also most of the time people are understanding if you can’t make it, or bend the ‘rule’ if you really can’t pay that much). It sounds like a lot, but it takes the financial burden off of the couple and their families. You basically help pay for the wedding, what you eat (usually really delicious food), and give the couple enough money to start out a marriage with enough money to settle in well. It’s the same at funerals. You also receive a really nice gift at both events as well. Basically the thinking is that these events shouldn’t leave the families struggling financially. It’s a group event, it should be paid for as such. There is way more detail to all of this too. Just putting in my two cents.

They decided to get married and have an expensive wedding. Why should the guests pay for it when they had no choice over the wedding budget?

I mean..I could probably lift a gift card from the local store that says $400 on it, but it doesn't mean it's going to be active or useful in anyway except as a back up ice scraper for the car window during the winter.... Watch the B**** ask for all of this crap and then serve McDonald's at the reception.....

We specified 2 charities that are close to our hearts for people to donate to, instead of buying us wedding gifts. We were just delighted to have our friends and family with is to celebrate our special day. It was even more special to find out that we raised around £500 for our charities afterwards ☺️

Each guest should demand an itemized receipt as to why the $400 is significant. She obviously is not planning on returning any gifts for cash value and no wedding, no where, no way, no how can make chicken taste super expensive. No one ever said "Mmmmmm. Tastes just like lobster" biting into a Buffalo Wing.

I think she meant "KitchenAid", but wrote "KitchenMaid". That's a recipe blog from NZ, which apparently makes epic Plum and Chipotle sauce. Imagine $400 of that, as a wedding gift! Ha! ;oP

My brother and his wife got married in our parent's backyard with my mom as the officiant. They asked for nothing and raided our storage units for second hand items they needed and offered to pay for them. Everyone pitched in to make the food, even the bride. It was an awesome wedding and reception.

I really doubt this is real. But if it is I feel the best gift for her would be an item of clothing from one of her acceptable designers, bought from a thrift store and at least 3 size too large.

If I had that kind of scratch laying around and received that notice...I would've unleashed the beast at the Dollar Tree and get 400 items, put it in the biggest box I can find, with the prettiest wrapping, with receipt attached showing I spent the requested $400 limit...and since I'm a great friend...paid the tax in addition instead of factoring it in to the 400

Dear Bridezilla, is there a certain color dress you expect me to wear, and a certain amount I should spend on said dress? What about the height of my heels? Can I arrive in my old Ford Focus, or would you prefer that I hire a Lincoln for the day? Never mind, let's just cancel my previous RSVP and I will wish your groom all the luck in the world from home.

I bought a good friend a first edition poetry book that I knew he'd like, it was $300 from a book specialist in Paris. His new wife was appalled I'd got him 'a nasty old book' for "her" wedding. We barely see each other now. So sad.

First, I'd never go to that wedding or send her a gift. I can't imagine anyone I know doing this so I guess I wouldn't be invited to this person's wedding to begin with. But also, I'm stuck on the "no exceptions" bit. What is she going to do exactly? If I'm invited and I go to the wedding and give her a macrame potholder, what exactly are the repercussions?

I would just draw her a car for expensive artwork, it's car related and amazing art. Done that as a kid for fathers day. Since i gave him ties or drawings each year, one year i drew him a tie. Once i got him a ferrari since he wrote "buy dad a ferrari" on his birthday date on my school planner, he didn't specify the size so i got him a fancy one in a second-hand collectors toyshop. I would gladly outsmart bridezilla with my twisted mind.

I made my best friend's wedding rings in platinum. As a wedding present, I remade her engagement ring in platinum for her (with her husband's permission) and also made her and her bridesmaids wedding jewellery. It was an honour. But I had to fight her to get her to accept it as a present.

I wonder if at least some of it is very specifically targeted to particular wedding guests... If I had a relative who worked for Kitchen Aid, I might leverage that. Likewise if I were in need of Korean beauty products and had a relative who was in that business.

I'd just like to say that for my first wedding, my husband and I were young and had never lived on our own before. Having said that, for some reason, for my bridal shower, I got a crap-load of home decorations. AFTER the shower, we had to spend thousands on cutlery, pots, pans, storage containers, knives, spatulas, toaster, coffee maker, drinking glasses, mixing bowls. We were literally starting out with absolutely nothing.I blame my maid of honor who put down the colors we planned on decorating our home with, instead of my registry info. So instead of a $3 whisk, some folks spent $50 on an ugly ass floral purple stuffed duck door stop. Seriously, my home colors were dusty rose and that colonial gray/blue (early 90's). How does a purple duck go with that???

That duck sounds ugly lol. But your home colors sound beautiful to me today. People really don’t appreciate dusty rose and colonial gray. Those are my bed and bedding colors. Early 90s design forever and ever.
