A wedding guest has been left appalled after receiving a note from the newlyweds claiming her present wasn't good enough.

The guests in question were so shocked in fact, that she wrote in an online forum called Mumsnet, asking for advice on how she should deal with the very awkward situation.

According to the guests, the newlyweds wrote them an email after the wedding suggesting that the £100 cheque they had given as a present was insufficient and suggest they should give up more money for enjoying the day.

"I recently attended an ex-colleague's wedding where, in response to a request for cash gifts, I sent what I thought was a pretty decent cheque (£100 if it matters, though I can't help feeling it shouldn't)", the guest wrote online.

"Last night I received an email which opened with a few comments about how glad they were to see everybody and how generous they'd all been, then said "we were surprised that your contribution didn't seem to match the warmth of your good wishes on our big day. In view of your own position, if you wanted to send any adjustment it would be thankfully received".

"For someone who's not easily shocked I confess I'm utterly gobsmacked by this. So as not to drip feed I'll mention that "your own position" probably refers to a recent inheritance I've had, which maybe they expected something from (and this is an ex-colleague, remember, not a close friend or relative)

"Please, anyone, what do I do now? I've never come across anything like this before and still can't quite believe they've done it - but since they have, should I reply, ring them, ignore it or what??"

Posted on May 6, the thread now has over 1000 comments from bemused commenters, who can't believe the audacity of the couple in question.

"That is entitled and grabby. It's a gift not an obligation and many people wouldn't have given so much to an ex colleague," one commenter said.

"That's really sad, sad that people don't attend because they can't bring the "done" contribution! I'd have hated that as a bride, the idea that people might not feel able to come," another said.

"It's utterly shocking. I worry about people like this. Where is their moral compass?" another said.

It's not yet known if the guest sent a reply to the newlyweds but she certainly has some help trying to figure out a response online.
