Hi all!
I have a question about gift exchanges. I come from a huge, tight-knit family and myself along w/ 2 of my cousins are getting married this year. I was wondering if it would be tacky to write them a friendly note to gauge interest to see if we all just wanted to opt-out of getting each other gifts and just say save your money and spend it on yourself. I just figure that way they can get exactly what they'd want, and it would be one less thing we all have to worry about. What's the point of just passing money back-and-forth? It's mainly for convenience, honestly, but since gift-giving can at times be stressful, I just figured it would make life easier for everyone.
I guess I just don't know if that would be acceptable or not. I'm totally for giving presents, but it just seems redundant to give and get stuff to and from the same people. Maybe I'm thinking too practically and not enough emotionally lol! What do you all think?
