Reading wedding literature is a real hoot, when it's not completely enraging. Today's tidbit of wisdom made me laugh:
From a wedding venue blog:
Thanks, guys.

What's the best gift for an engaged couple???
<scroll scroll scroll>
MONEY!!
Thanks, guys.
Hah! Funny, but also, as you think about registry items, know that you can register through Amazon, but also Honeyfund (http://www.honeyfund.com/) if you don't want a million physical gifts and would rather say you want "$100 for a one night's stay somewhere on our honeymoon"... Just something to consider that is in line with the theme of this post :-)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think everyone will be wondering if you put a high-end trash can on your registry. I know I am...
oh my gosh, i want a high-end trash can SO BADLY. but d.'s condo has a trash can built into the lower cabinets! what to do??? well, considering that i may not even get to live with d. in his condo if i get a job somewhere else next fall, maybe i'll register for that high-end trash can, and KEEP IT ALL FOR MYSELF IN MY LONELY NEW APARTMENT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE THAT AT LEAST HAS A NICE TRASHCAN. but i'm not anxious about it.
ReplyDeleteBBB's infinite return policy to the rescue! (and they don't assume a coupon if you don't have a receipt--instant 20% boost in store credit!)
ReplyDeleteUmmm..."the Fat," isn't that considered fraud??
ReplyDeleteA high-end trash can was really high on my list, too! But I didn't like that our Simple Human got stained easily under the lid and was so big and enclosed that the trash seemed more smelly than usual. Now I really want one of those built-in trash cans that comes out of a drawer. ;) But you should totally go all out on your registry. :)
ReplyDeleteIs it still fraud if that is their official return policy (not sure that it is, hehe) and/or they are totally complicit?
We should get married in China/Taiwan! We'd just come home with a loot of red envelopes. Best gift ever!
