What is the proper ettiquite for gift giving...?

Situation 1:

Talk with your boyfriend about setting a price range for gits that way you each know what to spend, I am sure he is wondering the same thing. This is what my hubby and I do. Each year we decide what our price range will be for gifts, for example, we decided this year it is $300. I spent $320 and my hubby says he spent exactly $300. That way neither one of us has to feel bad that one sent a lot and the other spent a little.

Situation 2:

If you are close friends it shouldn't be a problem just to call up your friend and simply ask

'Are we exchanging gifts?' If you do not want do that just buy something like a bottle of wine or chocolates for the both of them that way if they do get you gifts you do not feel awkward for not getting them anything and if they didn't get you anything this is a gift you can play off as a host gift.

in case you offend the couple via no longer giving a present then you definately have been in effortless terms invited for a present. presents are no longer manditory whether you attend the marriage so as that they actually arent manditory in case you cant flow. in case you're tight for money then deliver a card or something in basic terms asserting congrats and sorry you cuoldnt make it. thats all you may desire to do.

well what ever you would like to get him just get him it. It dont matter how much unless you r on a tight buget. As for your couple friends well it would be nice to get them a gift but you dont have it. Its just the thought that counts.

get them something small, or for the home, like a holiday wreath or something simple. and about your boyfriend, whatever you feel suitable to spend on him.....he is your boyfriend afterall, so spending a lot or little never matters, its the thought that counts!!!
