It is no secret that in recent years weddings are a significant financial burden not only for young couples, but often also for guests. This topic sparks heated debates. They concern, among other things, how much money as guests should be put in the envelope. Many people also wonder whether they should be signed.
Should I sign an envelope with money for a wedding?
What about savoir-vivre? In accordance with generally accepted moral norms, we should not put our signature on the envelope with money. Despite this, many people choose to do so, wanting to mark which envelope comes from us. However, we should sign only on the greeting card inserted into the envelope, which will be a souvenir for the recipients.
– I’ve never seen envelopes not signed. In addition to money, I always put a card inside and I would like the bride and groom to know who wishes them. There’s no need to brag about how much money I didn’t spend, but that’s how I do it. I actually prefer to know who gave me which envelope, says Ola, a 30-year-old woman from Warsaw. – Not that I should immediately make a ranking of my favorite people in the family, because if it’s not based on who spilled how much, but if someone gives much more than I expected, I’d be happy to call thank you and ask: Are you crazy? he adds.
“I don’t think people should do that”
Julia, a 35-year-old from Gdańsk, has a different opinion on this subject. – I’ve never signed an envelope before, nor did I put any greeting cards inside, because I folded them at the time of giving the gift. Until recently, I didn’t know that it had to be done, our interlocutor reveals. -I don’t think people should do that. Maybe this would end this vicious cycle of throwing very lavish parties that we can’t afford and expecting guests to reimburse us for them? Julia concludes.
“Some exaggerate”
In turn, Kamila, a 40-year-old woman from Warsaw, believes that we should not focus so much on this issue. – A year ago I had a wedding myself and some of the envelopes were signed and some were not. Then we didn’t think about who gave us how much, it was not important to us – says Kamila, then also points out another problem. – I think that some people exaggerate, indignant because someone did not sign. What then to say about people who give empty envelopes or with cut-up newspapers? our interlocutor wonders.
