All -
So, we aren't registering anywhere and we don't expect gifts of any sort. We really do just want people to come celebrate with us. I didn't even think about wedding gifts. Those people who have asked us about registeries, we have responded "we really have everything we need and just want your company".
I had no intention of having a gift table or card box. And then I was reading a bunch of reception posts and everyone is talking about buying or making card boxes, decorating the gift table, etc.
My reception space is pretty small, and having an empty table somewhere seems like a waste of space, but now I'm starting to think, even though we didnt' register, people might show up with gifts anyway, and there won't be any designated spot to put them.
Do you think we should have a small gift table anyway? Could gifts just be stacked under, behind or next to the cake table? I hate to have an empty table that could be used for something else.
thoughts?
