Default OK peeps, I would appreciate some more edjumacation.
I am getting married a week from Saturday. My wedding planner is the wife of one of my golf buddies and is insisting that her services are on the house. I want to get her an appropriate thank you gift. What do people like that usually charge?

Thanks!

Are you going to return all your wedding gifts?

You really can’t go wrong with a large purple dildo. Otherwise go with the old spa gift card or wine of the month club.

Actually the invitations specifically requested charitable donations in lieu of gifts, so no.

You know, every post I have ever seen from you on this forum was a worthless attempt at denigrating someone. I have cut you slack because some members keep dog piling on you about you killing your friend. Now I think they are right and you're just a worthless sack of shit.

I agree. About the only class and non patronizing thing to do.
It’s more of a thank you than compensation.

Wimmens do that stuff together because they are friends. Unless she's a complete stranger she won't expect any compensation. That's all I know about it, the rest is basically voodoo.

Gifts are nice, cash is king. Just give with what's in your heart...and maybe add 10%

My wedding was a very small affair, and it was a very long time ago, so I have no idea what a wedding planner would charge. Therefore, all my suggestions come directly from the VBOT homepage.

A BMW 507

A giant VW Bug

A diesel generator to charge her EV

A collection of your favorite Film Noir movies

Some mental health

A llama

If I was invited I would donate to the DNC and BLM just to piss you off.

If you have known each other less than 6months, I give it 2 years.
