1201. Re: opening gifts at the reception?

      

      Reply by SCogs18 · June 2012 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Registry and Gift Forum

      A friend of mine had her bridal party + a few close friends back to their house to watch them open gifts. The experience, while I think fun for them (she didn't have a shower), sucked for me as a guest. Her mom helped take notes of what people gave them and the bride and groom commented on the value of gifts/checks. It was…

      Some of you people are so rude with your black and white traditions. Maybe consider the fact that people have different needs. My sister asked for only money for her shower because she and her now husband were joining the peace corps and didn't need shit like blenders, plates and towels. Some people use services such as a…

      Thanks everyone for all the feedback! Basically we ended up registering a Target, Anthropologie and Pottery Barn-- mainly bedding, linens, & towels, and some new options for us for organization. We don't need much but it gives people the option if they want to pick a physical gift and it would be nice to replace a few…

      I used Etsy for my BM gifts I gave them necklaces (to wear in the wedding) bough from HamptonJewels shop on Etsy. They were beautiful and she made them and sent them in just a week. I also have them monogrammed beach towels and beach bags. These were given as a gift by my friend's mother, so I don't know the exact costs…

      Didn't really do much this week. Between working a bunch of hours, having that schlerotherapy done, and being plain unmovtivated... I don't have much to show. I did, however, finally get a few alterations recs from my officiant. I also finally bought my dress sash flowers and matching hair flowers. Next weeks I plan to…

      I'm just like Natalie...FI and I have lived together for 4 years and we have pretty much everything we need. So we're upgrading things...new dishes, towels, toaster, etc. And, just like Natalie, I registered for a bunch of decor stuff because we have a new house and it's so much larger than our old apartment that it's kind…

      If you don't need many of the conventional gifts, I would decline the shower. Honeymoon registries, to me, are rude. They are asking for cash for a trip, but they don't really buy anything. If you want cash, decline the shower, put out the word of mouth that you are saving for something (a house, a car, etc.), and people…

      I agree with registering for either upgrades or maybe some "different" type of items. Do you enjoy camping? You could register for camping equipment. We like biking so we registered for a tire pump. We also registered for a few board games since we like having game nights with friends. These aren't "traditional" items but…
