um, what? Its a little random, but unless you gave to her all in pennies (ie, made it in some way difficult/awkward to accept the gift) there’s nothing rude. She puts in in the bank, she gets the money. yay! I mean, it’s stupid and pointless, but not rude.
In some cultures, particular non-round numbers are considered good luck (Jews often gift in multiples of $18)
If I got that as a gift, I wouldn’t think it was rude, but I’d certainly be confused. I wouldn’t think you were paying back a debt unless you actually owed me money.
I’d probably ask you about it. You’d want to at least have a decent reply or it will just be weird or pointless. But, like Hello Again said, Yay, Money!
What if you incorporated the date of the wedding into the amount? Like if they are married on March 15th, give them $503.15. That would be cute!
Actually, I really like that idea, I might do that in the future
This is something we do.
Birthday gifts, we like to use the cents for the age. 20.13 instead fo 20, for someone turning 13. Also use the cents for year when giving a check for graduations. 20.14 as an example for someone graduating this year
I donated something like $56.14 to a friend of mine’s charity request once. She wrote back asking me if the number had any significance, but she wasn’t offended.
(No, it didn’t have any significance. I was just in an odd mood.)
When my daughter was accepted to college I sent her a card. I was going to include a check for $300 or so to help with initial expenses. Instead I made the check $314.15. I was thrilled that she got the reference. When she graduated, I sent a check for $420.00. Again, she immediately understood.
