Chucked a couple of apples in the envelope as the missus was there too. Felt that was more than enough as the two of us together spent over $1500 on the weekend. A lot were complaining about the fact that there was a wishing well there though. Shouldn't have come if you feel like that was my response to them.

I put "No presents preferred" on my invites

Was happy just to have the people attend.

Usually sling in the equivalent of what it would be costing them to have me there when I go to one.

If they want to make it that you pay your way for the food/dinner etc (or even worse - travel, accommodation) then they're showing bad form if they also expect you to be slinging them some dosh/wish list etc.

Worst one I had was a recent birthday. It got to be a bit of a thing that when it was a mates birthday the mate would throw a bash and the rest of us would chip in a bit to buy a decent needed gift/toy. That was fair enough - he put on the piss and we got him something he could actually use and appreciate.

Trouble was the gifts kept getting more and more extravagant/expensive til the last one where I cracked it.

This mate, instead of throwing a bbq and couple of kegs etc had it at a flash restaurant, with nothing on the bar (so guests pay for food and drink) and was "suggesting" a gift of something over $2k in value (shocks for his 4wd or something)

And I was the one who was looked at funny when I suggested he could go and get fscked
