191. Wishing Well update

     

     Discussion by sarahufl · June 2014 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Chit Chat

     Hi ladies- posted last week about wishing wells (http://forums.theknot.com/discussion/1023647/wishing-wells#latest) and I thought I would report back. My shower was lovely, FMIL put a lot of work and thought into it and we got a TON of gifts. Seriously, so many we left half of them behind. No idea where they are going in…

192. Re: Do you guys ever do "fine dining" or really fancy restaurants?

     I just love really really good food. I don't care if it's at a high end fancy restaurant or at the hole in the wall in the bad part of town. If it has potential to be some of the best food I've ever had, I'll go there. I really don't care. I do like dressing up and going out and having the super attentive service aspect of…

193. Registry frustration

     

     Discussion by aerinpegadrak · June 2010 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Chit Chat

     So, my SSIL's bridal shower is today. We're trying to figure out a gift (the shower was planned in about a week, we only found out they were engaged about two weeks ago. Woo-hoo shotgun wedding!) and we're kind of stuck. Because, well... Their registry sucks. Hardcore. It's all towels, picture frames, and inferior…

     Wow. I've been reading through these and I'm jealous of your unwanted gifts. lol. I just had my bridal shower and I didn't get anything off of my registry. Although I really appreciate the gestures from my friends and my friends moms, I am in a very small house actually located on my wedding venue so we don't have room for…

195. Re: A Little Different Honeymoon Resgistry - Thoughts?

     A traditional registry is more "if you want to buy us a set of towels, here are the colors and fluffiness that we prefer" a honeymoon registry is more "we want cash in various amounts." If someone gives you a check for $40 you can put that toward a zipline tour or a couples massage or swimming with the dolphins and you…

196. Re: Board games/card games - Yay or nay?

     

     Reply by badbnagdway · January 2015 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Registry and Gift Forum

     I really liked buying couples things like board games when I was in grad school and didn't have a lot to spend on a wedding gift (usually I was also poor enough that I couldn't attend the wedding but really wanted to send something to the couple). From experience it's a lot more satisfying to send a board game/card game…

     @short+sassy the vanity is really b/c I have no storage space in my bathroom at all. The sink is one of those fancy modern bowl sinks that sits on a small counter, all glass. It's beautiful, but not particularly storage friendly. Basically like this: Then, b/c of the way the bathroom is built with two doors, bathtub,…

     I am not Southern, and I was raised with the same belief -- giving cash for a wedding shows that you didn't want to or were too lazy to buy them a heart-felt gift. DH is firmly in the camp of 'let's give cash,' and I'm solidly in the camp of 'let's buy them something off their registry or find something we think they'd…

     I called Hawaiian and was told that it has to be in a carry on/overhead or checked baggage because the closet space has now been renovated to the comfort class seats airlines are now offering. Upon research you can buy travel packing boxes and supplies-essentially a ton of white tissue paper and a box with a handle; or you…

     Reply by wrigleyville · May 2014 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

     We've been living together for several years, so we added some sheet sets and towels, as we needed to upgrade. Plus, I wanted stuff that matched our current space. Our sheets and towels were a hodgepodge left over from our grad school days. We also registered for silverware, as we had a few sets all mixed together. Some…
