Facebook madness!
What is it with people I know posting crazy wedding related stuff on Facebook status updates!
First there was my friend b-listing guests, and now one of my fb "friends" (acquantance, not actual real life friend) posted this gem:
"Gift registry at Bed Bath Beyond for the wedding. You can go there or online. Its under my name and *Fiance's name*. Thanks"
I don't know why, but this stuff bothers me!

Re: Facebook madness!
[QUOTE]Like I said before we are in a universe of Evites, Internet updates. I dont see anything wrong. Considering we have inserted a registry card in our invites people are still asking where we are registered I rather post it and everyone KNOW then be asked a million times over and over just because people are too lazy to see that their is a card insert answering their question.

<div>Haha I'm the opposite... I'd rather have ppl ask me a million times where I'm registered at... I will happily answer and not get sick of it!</div><div>
</div><div>Also, I've never noticed this friend mention much of anything on facebook about his upcoming wedding, so kinda seems grabby to me. LOL like you're not invited to the wedding, but we're registered here so feel free to buy us a gift anyway!</div><div>
</div><div>Of course I had to check out their registry too.. they have some crazy stuff on there, such as 2 sets of pots and pans and also mutiple single cookware pieces.. they must have a really big kitchen! LOL I'm so crazy!</div>

I must be old fashioned too because I totally agree with you & Meagan...to me <strong>it seems gift grabby and rude...</strong>you shouldn't expect anyone to get you a gift. If they want to know where you are registered they will ask or they will give you cash...yes there are those chances that you'll get something you'll never use, but that is okay. You'll find some use for it...put on your wedding website...
those dang cards that go in the 'invite' are rude too! Ugh, I was a little irritated with a couple recently who sent us a wedding invite with that dang card in it...again, if people want to give you gifts they'll ask, if not you'll get cash...
Anxiously awaiting baby #1! Baby BOY Due: May 30, 2013!

I agree with you and Meagan as well. I think it's super tacky and I hate it when people put an insert card in the invites too. The registry cards belong in the bridal shower invitation only!!
Target doesn't even do the cards any more.
I'd rather to avoid conversations with people who aren't invited or assuming they are invited by not sharing anything on FB.
[QUOTE]Ugh I just got a FB invite to a wedding last week. Then I went on their wedding web site and it said in plain English that they only wanted cash as a gift. There was an FAQ section on the site and one of them was "Will there be an open bar?" and the answer was "It depends on our budget. Want to make sure there's an open bar? Feel free to donate to our wedding fund." Rubbed me the wrong way, to say the least.

</div><div>What?! My jaw just dropped to the floor reading about the open bar. I would either go with a toaster or some other obnoxious gift or not go at all to this wedding! </div>
I'll make little non discript posts on FB like "100 Days
The registry thing is just tacky and gift grabby to post in on your FB. People have a right to be excited about their big day but there is a way to be classy about it.

haha or maybe a blender?
Registry info on facebook = could not possibly get more tacky. Well, except for Bmore's story. That's tackier.
I did, however, put a Registry section on our Wedding Website. I was under the impression that was literally the only acceptable place to put this info.
NOTHING IN THE INVITATIONS FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY. What is wrong with people?
