Oh Kim K... the Kween of poor etiquette

This girl is like a how NOT to act instructional video.  There's a new story out about her trading in her wedding gifts from her very-short marriage for Rolex watches for her and her family. 

I feel as if if the gifts CAN be returned to the giver after a marriage that short, they should be.

  • Klassy. If not returned, they should have at the very least been donated to charity instead.
  • I Kannot wait until she finally marries Reggie Bush.  It'll be epiK taKkiness.
  • Oh wow... I had heard on some interview she was going to donate them to charity. If this Rolex thing is true, she is just sooo much worse than I expected. Can't stand that family. People seriously need to stop watching that trash TV so the Ks can stop making money from their antics.
  • She is making it look like the wedding was a money-making scam. And, not for nothing, but where is her soon-to-be ex in all this? Those gifts were for him, too.

    Obviously, this is just speculation, but did you see the pictures that surfaced of him and the girls in their apartment? They weren't inappropriate pictures exactly, but what married guy invites girls to his apartment and lets them lay in his and his wife's bed, look in the closet, go into bathroom and grab personalized towels etc.!? I am not so sure he is an innocent party in this whole mess. Maybe she caught him with one too many girls in their apartment and decided that he doesn't really deserve any of the wedding gifts. Or maybe she is just selfish, I don't know...

    Although, a wedding gift is for a wedding. Right? She got married... why would she have to return the gift? This isn't a case in which a wedding did not occur. Sure, it would be nice, I guess...
  • KK is a hot mess, I won't disagree with that.

    But the wedding gifts do not have to be returned unless the wedding never took place. The wedding did take place, whether it was for 30 days, 72 days, or 75 years...the gifts are hers/theirs to do with what they like.

    [QUOTE]Just to let you know.  She and Kris should return the gifts. Here is an article in which Lizzie Post says how long after the wedding the unused gifts should be returned. <a href="http://articles.nydailynews.com/2011-11-01/news/30347961_1_kris-humphries-kim-and-kris-kim-kardashian" rel='nofollow'>http://articles.nydailynews.com/2011-11-01/news/30347961_1_kris-humphries-kim-and-kris-kim-kardashian</a> I wouldn't go against Emily Post's great (x2?) granddaughter. ETA:  <strong>Wedding gifts after for the actually wedding</strong>.  They are for the bride and groom to start their new life together.  If they end that new life super quickly, then the gifts should be returned.  I think I have read somewhere that gifts should be returned if one of the newlyweds dies within that same 6 month time period.  But I think people are a little more lenient on that one.

    Is this sarcasm?

    I hope so.

    And the bolded part...what?!

  • I have no clue who Emily Post is.

     If I buy a couple a gift and they get divorced I have no desire to have their used shiit returned to me with a note. If I give someone a gift, I really don't care what the hell they do with it. I did not know that gifts were conditonal. Hence, the word "gift".

  • I like Emily Post, but I don't agree with what her offspring says sometimes.

    @iugirl, No, I haven't seen any pictures like that! Omigosh, if he really let random girls into his wife's closet, that's super creepy.
    Last I heard he was upset because they were talking a lot of crap about him and due to the prenup he signed, he legally isn't allowed to say anything about them and even defending himself could get him into trouble. Supposedly that's why he's looking to get an annulment, so the prenup would be void.

  • Yeah, I'd actually not want a gift returned to me by them. I'd rather they keep it than make me go through the hassle of trying to return it to the store. And after 72+ days, would guests even be able to return gifts they had bought? 

    I mean they DID get married, who cares what happens to the gifts?

    And you're posting on the etiquette board?  Interesting...

  • OK, per the article, she didn't even have them delivered from the store.  So, it wouldn't be like the guests would get them back - they would get a call from the store saying to come get their cash, or that they had a store credit.  KK is totally wrong.
  • Here's the thing... I wouldn't expect the gift back... but I'd be annoyed to find out that the bride traded it in to buy a watch for her sister. Especially if she made that decision a week after she was married.
    I mean, once you give someone something, you can't do anything about what they do with that gift, but I still have the right to be pissed about it.

  • I may be in the minority, but I wouldn't want my gift back. If a friend ended her marriage that quickly for whatever reason I'd feel so awful for her. I get it is proper etiquette to do so, but I wouldn't let any friend return the gift. 

    ... I also admit I shamelessly love the Kardashians though, haha.
