Bride branded 'selfish' for demanding guests bring gifts worth no less than £40

When you attend a wedding, it's customary to bring a gift with you to give to the happy couple to honour their marriage. However, wedding presents are not supposed to be mandatory, and there shouldn't be a minimum spend attached - as most couples will be thankful for the gift no matter how much it cost.

But one bride has been slammed online after she demanded that her wedding guests spend at least $50 (£38) on their gift because she thinks it would be a "slap in the face" for them to give her and her husband a cheaper gift after all the money they'll be spending on the wedding itself.

The bride said she finds it "distasteful" when people show up to events "empty-handed", and said that because her wedding will have an open bar and food will cost $150 (£117) per head, she believes putting a minimum spend on gifts is reasonable.
