What’s one wedding etiquette rule that is always being broken? I’ve noticed within my culture, many don’t gift the newlyweds…

Giving a gift to the newlyweds was the main one at my wedding. I was shocked how few guests gave us anything. Maybe 1/3 parties.

I am the one who rarely make a gift for the spouses, but to be fair few of my friends had a registry. In my circle, people tend to get married when they are established in their life and living together. I am myself getting married this year and I have no expectations of gifts. I feel like attending is already expensive enough (between travel, accommodation and outfits (+/- bachelorette parties). The reasoning that a gift should compensate for the price of inviting someone sounds very transactional to me, just don’t invite them.

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting since joining this platform. I’m interested in connecting with someone who is open to HR mentoring.

Even if it’s for feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

I’m 25 and have found a duplex I’m considering purchasing as a rental property. Planning on renting both units and have the cash to make the down payment without an issue. My cash flow analysis has a payback period of 3 years for my down payment and a 13 year payback period for the whole investment. I think financially it makes sense. My question is, is it realistic for a 25 year old young professional to handle dealing with all the extra curricular’s that come with owning a rental property ?
