That's how much 24 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: the plate is eight hundred four nine ninety three ninety three. 25 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: I mean, what do you think about that? Is it 26 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: a wedding that you'll attend, or do you, you know, politely 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: decline that. 28 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: I'm yeah, I'm not going. 29 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 2: I'm not paying them off plate. 30 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 3: I'll buy you a gift, but to pay for off late, 31 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: I've never been asked. Then I feel like, if anyone 32 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 3: where do you ask me, Like if Joe's like, hey, guys' 33 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: getting married, seem my cash after seventy five dollars plate, 34 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 3: I'll eat it, but you're. 35 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: Not invited though? How much money do you give then 36 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: for a wedding? What is the proper gift? Because I 37 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: always thought it was like fifty, And then I'd like, 38 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: like last year, I started doing one hundred every well 39 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: in that last year, like a couple years ago, I 40 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: started doing one hundred. 41 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 2: But then I hear from some people it's like two hundred. 42 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 4: Oh n. 43 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: Then I hear from others it's like twenty five. Then 44 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: I hear from others that it's actually not that great 45 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: to give cash. You should give gifts. So what is 46 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: the proper price for a wedding? 47 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say one hundred dollars, just simply because I 48 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 3: don't know how much a plate costs. But you said that, 49 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 3: lady said seventy five dollars. So in my head, okay, 50 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 3: if I give you a hundred, maybe I'll cover my 51 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 3: plate and you guys can get something nice. 52 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: Wedding fights could be anywhere from like fifty to like 53 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: three hundred dollars. Oh yeah, oh yeah, and like there 54 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: are probably places where they're even more than that. But yeah, 55 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: when Alyssa and I were looking around at different venues 56 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: and stuff, the most expensive one we saw was three 57 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: hundred dollars. 58 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 5: So, Joe, they have it in tears. Based on the 59 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 5: relationship you have with the person who's attending your wedding, 60 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 5: there's coworker and acquaintance that ranges between seventy five one 61 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 5: hundred dollars. A friend or a distant relative should be 62 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 5: contributing one hundred to one hundred and fifty, and then 63 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 5: a close friend or immediate family member should be contributing 64 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty plus dollars. Okay, 65 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 5: but it no really can be paid seventy five dollars. 66 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 5: Then now I got to factor that out. 67 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: Hey, if you're paying seventy five, I feel like if 68 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: you ask for that money, you should already assume that 69 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: you're not getting a gift, right, you know. 70 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: You know I was a gift saw of this, But 71 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 3: now that I'm thinking about it, if you give me 72 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 3: the seventy five dollars for my you know, my wedding 73 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 3: for the plate, yes, and I have open bar, you 74 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 3: got food and drinks, and then I kind of make 75 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 3: my money back for the wedding with hopes that they 76 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 3: do give me a gift. 77 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: Hey, who's this. 78 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: Hi? 79 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 6: This is Chris. 80 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: Hey, Chris, let me ask you a question.
