1161. Re: Gifts vs. Money

      

      Reply by GretchenLaRoux · December 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

      You don't, really. It's rude to ask for money. I'm sure you can cobble together a small registry of items you could stand to upgrade-- maybe your toaster isn't totally awesome anymore, and your towels are starting to get scratchy, or whatever else could use replacing. Guests will see a small registry and take the hint that…

      Wedding guests expect to give wonderful, long-lasting gifts that mirror their hope for your marriage to be wonderful and long-lasting. Like china, bedding, and other nest-building stuff. When you see these gifts in your home, you will be reminded of the giver,Oh for heaven's sake, this is 2009, not 1959. Yeah, I'm sure…

      You really shouldn't use ice. Instead run under cold water or wrap a thin towel around a bag of frozen veggies. The coolness takes away the sting, but ice can cause blistering. I worked in a bakery a few years back and I grabbed a rack of pies out of the oven without hot pads. I burned the dickens out of my hands and it…

1164. Registry for convenience?

      

      Discussion by Jells2dot0 · September 2014 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Chit Chat

      This might sound cray cray, but I need help! As some of you might know, I'm getting ready to move and buy a new home. However, we're not selling our current home. So, I now have to duplicate almost everything we own. So, I was thinking of creating a registry just to create a comprehensive list of everything we need. We…

1165. Are you going to feel like newlyweds?

      

      Discussion by ikrystal · August 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Chit Chat

      My fiance and I were talking about this the other day. We've been together for 3.5 years, lived together for over a year, and we share everything down to money and towels. We don't have kids but we have a dog we treat like one (shes incredibly spoiled). So we were saying we're so excited to get married, but we doubt we'll…

      I just got back from the cruise and we had an AMAZING time! We would definitely cruise again. We traveled on Norwegian leaving out of Miami, traveling to the Bahamas. Totally relaxing and the shows and comedy acts were really fun. The things I would change would be: the buffet food wasn't the greatest, but the specialty…

      Discussion by markandtiffany · June 2010 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

      I'm thinking of printing this poem and sending it with my invitations. Is this tacky? Many of our guests have enquired For a gift idea to be inspired We have enough dishes and towels for two So we have a favour to ask of you. A wishing well we thought would be great (But only if you wish to participate) A gift of money, an…

      Discussion by Sierra524 · April 2013 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Registry and Gift Forum

      It was such a good time :] A good amount of people showed up, about 40. We got lots of awesome gifts. But, we also got a lot of stuff that was not on my registries & did not come with receipts. Stuff that I really dont have any use for, but will do. Pretty sure we got like 10 different kinds of measuring cups and spoons, a…

      Discussion by LadyMillil · March 2014 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Chit Chat

      Today is my five year anniversary with FI! It is also 1 year since we got engaged, and our wedding is in 12 days! So excited and happy! I never introduced myself before I started posting, so I thought I'd add that here as well. I'm a PhD candidate in the life sciences and FI is in retail. He is planning on going to law…

      Discussion by ishatag · October 2009 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Military Brides

      So. How often do you consider throwing in the towel on the dream and just running away instead? I know it's normal to get overwhelmed and think 'we should just elope" but I'm really starting to lose heart. My family has not been as supportive as I'd thought they would be (not about US, but about my location choice) and the…
