Actually, quite a bit, which was a shame, because those people had obviously spent hours and hours working to earn the money to buy something that they themselves would never have bought and with which we couldn't do anything. It was a kind gesture that ended up being a waste...
When I went through the process myself, I vowed never, ever to go "off piste" and buy stuff that wasn't on the Registry (assuming there was a Registry in the first place). |
Re: Silly wedding gift
No, we did have a wedding list/registry, people either just ignored it or didn't even know what one was. It was the British side of the family that was more likely to ad lib than the American side too. (There was a decent spread of stuff, so it wasn't like every listed item was unaffordable or impractical $5000 crystal!)
Now I would just give people cash or a gift from the registry. I know some people think cash is tacky but, you know, it is incredibly useful... |

A well chosen cheap present can look expensive ! Cash can only be counted !!!! |
Re: Silly wedding gift
Lorna, you are right. The silly gift is in addition to the more useful one from the gift registry. We have more or less decided what is going to be in the silly gift. Little things that will get some use, ie small photo album, wooden spoons, candles, etc. Thanks for all the suggestions folks.
