Wedding gift

I am still oxox · ‎03-09-2010

I know I asked this before but it was a differnt friend and a differnt situation. My oldest friends daughter is getting married Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. I have known the brides Mom for over 60 years and her late dad for more than 40 years.

I will like to give something in mutiple of 18 which in the Jewish religion is good luck.

I am thinking $360 which is 20 time 18 or 20 time chai. Actually just thinking out loud Thank you all

Cash is always appreciated, and your gift has an added bonus of meaning and tradition. A wonderful idea.

@I am still oxox I think that would be generous and a wonderful choice of gift. I always think cash is best. The amount is perfect. 18 times chai, I would go with that

I'm not Jewish, but that sounds like a very nice gift to me.

@I am still oxox I always add $18 to any amount I give.

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

That sounds terrific, generous and thoughtful.

And also very nice to share Jewish tradition.

Will you be shopping for wedding dresses like you did last time and posted? That was fun!

That is a lot of money for a gift! If you're financially comfortable doing that, then you should do whatever you genuinely want to do.
