Oh and frick the mentality of a gift for the engagement party, a gift for the bachelor/bachelorette party, and a gift for the wedding too.

And the expectation to attend all of the above.

This right here pisses me off and I usually go George Kostanza on them and make a donation in their name to a charity.

shite, I gave gifts for all of those during my wedding

Between my family and I, we paid for the entire bachelor weekend, of course the rehearsal dinner, gave gifts to the wedding party including covering the tux rentals, AND made sure to have an open bar (my family is far from wealthy and it was a financial burden but it was also the right thing to do)

Seriously, unless you have some religious thing against alcohol, you had better find the money to have an open bar at your wedding. If that means cutting your guest list by 25 people then so fricking be it. You spend money on a good photographer and an open bar and let everything else fall into place

ETA: I should point out, though, that we did not have an engagement party. Your wedding is your fricking engagement party as far as I'm concerned. We just went out for dinner and drinks with the friends that were with us the night I proposed.
