After all, giving a gift means you like someone and want to do something nice for them. But in recent culture, many people expect gifts and some even demand what they want no matter how expensive it is. That is the sort of bridezilla we have here today. Not only did she make a whole post of what gifts she wanted. She also had a rule that no gift should be under $400 which is plain absurd.
I mean not everyone is able to spend that much on a friend’s wedding. So most people would likely not come. And even those who wanted to come in the first place might be rubbed the wrong way by this post. Because it makes her look like a greedy and selfish person since all the gifts she mentions are for her and she doesn’t even mention the groom which is quite surprising.

Saw screenshots of someone doing almost the exact same thing some years ago, also on Facebook, and how it progressed. The gifts had to be worth around €200 IIRC. The bride also gave the option of sponsoring the couple’s honeymoon and really didn’t want to pay anything for the trip herself.
It didn’t turn out well. People commented that they won’t show up, and/or that they straight up questioned their relationship with the bride because of the post. Many people unfriended apparently. The bride tried going down to 150 or 100 with the gifts’ value limit first, before ultimately and bitterly revoking it, all the while complaining how she had no “true” friends. Don’t know the exact outcome, pretty sure the marriage happened anyway, but I’m also pretty sure the guest list was cut to half its original length.
At least she didn’t make all the gift requests be about herself, so there was that. –Omsus
