Why do people find it so offensive? I mean sure you can't assume that everyone will bring a gift or is required to- but isn't it tacky to attend a wedding and not take a gift? I've never been to a wedding without taking a gift and usually it's off a registry or it's cash. As a thoughful guest- don't we want to give the new couple something they want/need? And what new couple couldn't use some extra cash? Gosh I wish this trend was around when I got married! Of course close relatives understand, but when you have a 500 person wedding- the type of gift can border on the ridiculous. I ended up moving 2500 miles away from home and a lot of my gifts are still collecting dust in my parents' basement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27841426.post-57516270474854446292008-08-08T12:44:00.000-07:002008-08-08T12:44:00.000-07:00I thought it was proper etiquette to bring a gift ...I thought it was proper etiquette to bring a gift to a wedding. So who should be scolded for being rude the person not bringing a gift because they dont know what you want or cant afford an expensive gift. Or the couple for helping the guest decide what to give you. Most people dont like to shop for people that you dont see much, or know there home decor. I think it is easier on both parties. I wouldnt want to have to go through all the trouble of returning gifts cuz i have 3 of the same thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27841426.post-10134705044198385132008-02-17T16:57:00.000-08:002008-02-17T16:57:00.000-08:00why should the married couple not expect any gifts...why should the married couple not expect any gifts from their guests?<BR/>Are you implying that the guests can also not expect to get a meal that is paid for?<BR/><BR/>It costs quite a bit per plate, close to the upwards of 115$ has become standard. Can we instead have the hall/restaurant bill the guests instead? Would this be any classier?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27841426.post-1154385378312465602006-07-31T15:36:00.000-07:002006-07-31T15:36:00.000-07:00Augh, those don't even scan.
