No box gifts from me then, just a balloon of hot air though. So rude.
I think it is rude. Normally I ask them what they want..and or need and then I try to get it for them...This new trend just stinks. I have never heard of some of the stuff they come up with nowadays. Guess I just believe in the old fashioned way of things. Go Figure!!
I always thought weddings should be an occasion where cash is the best gift the couple could expect, and not have to tell anyone this. It should be understood. Bridal showers are for gift giving. Most of the time the bride is registered at a particular store and will receive everything they need at the shower. When you bring a gift to a wedding, it makes it the responsibility of the parents of the bride or groom to transport the gifts home, because usually the couple has left for their honeymoon. If you'd rather give a gift, it would be more considerate to send it to the newlyweds home instead of bringing it to the reception.
im in the same situation and it has nothing to do with being too broke to pay for a wedding!! if a couple already has nearly everything bed bath and beyond has to offer why register for gifts? did anyone else who responded to this think of that? of course not! think about it,u cant get cash for all the gifts everyone wants to give you and you already have. if people think its tacky that for your own sanity and convenience you would like to just opt for gift cards or travelers checks,then so what. people need to chill out,its your wedding not theirs!!
I’ll go for cash.
