Hey everyone. So my fiance and I have elected to not register anywhere - we dont want gifts. My "shower" is saturday which is actually a wine tasting party - bring bottles of wine, and bring a recipe for me to compile in a book. My aunt "insisted" on gifts but when i suggested ill just take home the unopened bottles of wine that seemed to appease her
We're gettin married in Napa and love food/wine everything so i figured that would be fitting. My fiance's side of the family lives out of town and I think they will do a shower for me with gifts, like a pampered chef or something?! no idea. Its not my family so i will just keep my mouth shut for that one and show up and let them do whatever....
Anyway, ive had a lot of people complaining i didnt register, and that i dont want gifts. I am not getting married in town - me and my fiance are doing so privately, then having e reception in town. We're in our early 30s. We have everything we want. We have a one bedroom condo and probably wont buy a house for another year or. We have no space and enough junk and i tried to go to crate and barrel, target, bed bath and beyond, macys, etc to entertain the idea of registering, but my fiance and i just were looking at all this stuff like, ugh, nice, but we dont need it/have nowhere to put it/dont feel like ding a weeks long cleanout of ou old crap to make room for new....
so yeah thats all ive got. Just a rant. I just want people's company at things - the "shower", reception etc, if they can make it, but othrwise i dont care. this is about me and my fiance and so im not really worried about what everyone else is doing or buying or whatever. I just want it to be fun and relaxed and part of that for me was no gifts. U dint care if othr people have gifts! I like buying people stuff for their weddings....if it was a couple years from now and i had just moved into a larger, fairly empty house maybe i would see it as more practical for myself...but like why does it have to be such a big deal?
