Terrible Wedding Gifts

At our weddings, a few guests gave us smaller monetary contributions with ticket to a Broadway show and Carnegie Hall concert. That was a very nice and original gesture..

Wedding gifts are supposed to be delivered not taken to the wedding. Only cards go to the wedding.

When we got married hubby's brother went in with six other couples and bought us a crockpot. That would have been perfectly fine if that's all they could afford, but brother was extremely well off - as were the other six couples. We laughed at the whole thing, seriously - that came to about $3.00 per couple.

When I sent the thank-you card, I addressed ONE thank-you card to all the couples, in care of brother-in-law. Cheap is as cheap does . . . I saw absolutely no reason to send individual ones.
