My colleague, Miss C will be getting married end of this week. I have been her colleague for almost 5 years. She personally informed me of her plans to take her marriage leave for the wedding as well as for the final preparations. Reason is I guess is to prepare me mentally to cover her job functions. I don’t mind because here in this department we work as a team. When one is down the other would cover up.
But what surprises me is that she will be going off tomorrow onwards for the marriage leave and we, the colleagues have yet to receive any wedding invitation cards from her. I dunno maybe the boss is the only selected ONE?? I am not sure whether should I get her a wedding gift?? I know that apart from me, my other colleagues are a little bit upset and we are still wondering why she is keeping things so quiet. She remains silent as though nothing big is gonna happen but I am pretty sure, she is having a grand reception. May be she has her reasons as it is her wedding after all. Well, we all know that wedding receptions are very expensive and only selected people are invited for the wedding dinner. A few of my friends told me not to bother as she doesn’t even appreciate her officemates to give them the chance to share her special day. They say until she makes it official, do not bother. Should I even bother and get her a wedding gift?

personally i think u should buy her the gift. it's okay, doesn't matter whether she invites you or not. the thought that counts my dear...
my 2 cents
that kinda attitude? hell..don't bother!
bisutulibuta,
Yup, agree, it has to come from the heart.
angel,
Yes planning to :)
Thanks dear!
neverhere,
Yeah, that was my impression of her dunno what happened yesterday( i hope she didn't read my blog!!hhahahha) she came to see me and tell me that she can't invite me as the reception is done outstation and assuming that I wont be interested in coming. Well it is her wedding, let her have her reasons. Anyways, I shall get her wedding gift since she is after all my colleague. Some attitude eh!
ya la... you buy her a gift only if it comes from the heart. kalau tanak, tak payah. i'm embarassed to say tho that i hardly buy gifts anymore hehe... so, when i do get invited to weddings, i just make sure the 'ang pau' is tebal enuff ;P
Same here..Rarely have the time to go out and look for wedding gifts (unless it is a b'day gift). Personally, I will just give ang pow. I've always been an "ang pow" giver and back then when people asked me "You prefer hadiah ke ang pow for your wedding??" I honestly told them, HARD CASH PLEASE!! At least I get to pay the exorbitant wedding bills hehee.
By the way sis, the gift should come from your heart and don't give if you only feel obligated to!
Cookie,
If I am at the receiving endla kan..I'd rather have the 'ang paus' as compared to gifts..hehehhe..Lagi tebal lagi bagus :)
lil sis,
Hehheeh...well you got tebal ang paus for your wedding anyway ;D
Pssst yup it shld come from the heart...takleh paksa-paksa.
