Or just be a considerate couple and tell guests that their presence at the service is the only gift desired.

Some people spend more than that on other hobbies, like sports events or rock concerts.
I give a $25.00 or $50.00 Lowes card.
Single and 30 and she’s frustrated at seeing 20 couples getting married.
I married into an Italian-American family that had weddings, showers, baby showers, Holy Communion celebrations, Confirmations, birthdays almost once a week. It drove me absolutely crazy and the checks we were writing was adding up. We had to say “No!” Most of the family understood especially my wonderful grandma-in-law.
The pace of traveling to attend weddings or going “all out” drops as you see some of those couples splitting apart in under 2 years.
She’s “broke” with $2900 of debt?
She must have been living on the edge to begin with.
$2900 in debt moves her back with her parents? What year is this from, 1918?
I’m willing to bet she has amassed other debt in addition to her friends list/weddings.
Amusing. That's the first time I've heard a bachelorette party called a "hen do."

Stay away from the hen dos...

2900?? Just the photography and videography is costing 3400 at my son’s wedding.
I think it’s kind of a waste.
I think We see why she’s always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
For a shower gift, a medium LL Bean bag filled with handtools such as hammer screwdriver, tape, picture hangers measuring tape, etc
For the wedding, a double rope hammock, no one else will get them one.
I have also given the wedding invitation framed to people I don’t like so much.
One of the bonuses of being in the military for 24 years. Easy excuse to get out of going to weddings. No one bats an eye when you say you have military obligations.
Hmmm... I would re-title the story to something like:
“Woman seeks public to fund her vacation time”
I will buy gifts, but will not attend weddings. Funerals, yes. At funerals all the peacocks are in full shut down mode, just like I need them to be.
Tell me about it, we’re going to a wedding in a few months, easily going to set us back about $2000.
It’s the biggest racket going.
