A wedding is a family occasion in which relatives come together to make all of the necessary arrangements. As they begin a new life together, the bride and groom receive gifts from their loved ones.

Bride asks guests to bring gifts worth at least Rs 4,000 or more
Most couples are grateful for any gift, regardless of cost, whether it is money, utensils, or a piece of home décor. However, a woman was mocked online after she insisted that wedding guests spend at least $50 (Rs 4,129) on their gifts.
The bride reasoned that it would be a “slap in the face” for them (her and her family) to receive a cheaper present after spending so much money on the wedding.
According to the Mirror, the bride found it offensive when people came to functions empty-handed. She further stated that she required this because her wedding would have an open bar plus food, which would cost $150 (Rs 12,338) per person, which is why she believed that a minimum spending amount on presents was appropriate.

This was shared by the woman on Facebook and subsequently on Reddit. She questioned social media users if it was impolite to state on invitations that gifts of $50 or more are required. She also mentioned that her fiancé and she have a lot of family members that prefer to show up empty-handed to events where they can afford to bring something.
She said plates cost $150 other than the open bar
The woman seemed to believe her love language was receiving gifts, and she thought it appropriate for people to come to the wedding with at least a $50 gift, which is affordable.
The bride reportedly added another post in which she explained that she was “not holding a wedding to receive gifts,” but that it was all about love at the end of the day.
She said plates cost $150 on top of an open bar and when an individual brings nothing just because they “felt like it,” it feels like a slap in the face especially given the occasion.
