    My wife and I sent something similar to this when we got married during COVID and could only have 19 total people there (including us), but was about meeting us after for the reception

    There were 2 sent out that said the gift thing instead, both rich assholes who weren’t related to us that would feel guilty and obligated to send us expensive shit or a decent chunk of change, and it worked so that’s a win for us lol

    Doing this to normal people would be an absolute dick move

      Why would you send an invitation to the unrelated “rich assholes” at all? Asking for a gift from people you don’t like just to somehow guilt them into “sending us expensive shit or a decent chunk of change” proves you’re just an asshole yourself, just not a rich one. It’s a “dick move” no matter who you send it to.

        Free shit, duh?

        Nope. Did I not already say rich? By default making those who don’t work for their wealth share it is never a dick move, and that’s before you count the specific bullshit those people pulled against my wife and I to screw us over with their wealth

          Lemmy’s all about Robin Hood until they see a moral soapbox to stand on and shout. Weird.
