Wedding Gift Amount Deemed Insufficient By Bad-Mannered Bride

Wow, talk about bad manners! On Friday, we received a truly horrifying email from one of our readers that would make etiquette guru Emily Post turn in her grave. The reader, Tanya, told us about a recent Facebook message she received from a bride after attending her wedding last month. In the message, the bride expressed her dissatisfaction with the $100 wedding gift she received from Tanya and her date. You can read the message for yourself below, but we must warn you: Your blood WILL boil....
My suggestion would be putting a comment on her wall.
"I'm so sorry that you got ripped off by your caterer. There is no way those plates were worth $200 a piece. You should have ordered McDonald's and then our $100 gift would be of greater significance and the food would have been better. If you would have put the per plate cost on your wedding invitations and ask that they be covered by the guests then it would have been much easier to decide if I wanted to attend your wedding or not. To be honest with my school bills and other expenses that have to be taken care of on minimum wage I could really have used that for myself. Had I known that the wedding would be an obvious rip off of the bride (I wouldn't tell anyone else the plate cost) and that I'd be expected to help pay off the robbers I would have passed. Anyway, have a nice life together.
