In Reply to: Help with a suitable gift for wedding ? posted by Sunluva on Sunday, 11. August 2013 at 17:54 Bali Time:
When I married my indonesian wife we received a few small gifts but most people gave cash and according to my wife that is normal. (I felt very bad about taking cash these people needed much more than we did)
We on the other hand - gave actual gifts to everyone who attended which I had never head of before - and considering there were 4-500 guests it wasnt cheap.
My wife had the un-envyable task of grading each amd every guest before sending out invites - as there was an indicator on each invite which denoted which of the 4 different gifts each guest would recieve. Ranging from expensive gift for close friends and family - down to cheaper levels of gifts for those deemed less important.
