Ah, and going back to one of the topics close to my heart - the couples that say: ***no boxed gifts ***- sadly, they’re usually the ones who throw the grandest party and then expect their guests to pay for the privilege of attending their wedding. The worst are those who thoo-thoo if the cash gift received doesn’t cover the cost of the guest’s meal they paid for.

I agree with most of your points. However, “the no boxed gift” isn’t bad idea and but I do agree with you about the fact some couples think that the guests should pay them for attending and the food. That is plain dumb on the couples part, I remember reading that article I think. It should simply be taken as a gift no matter what the amount is.

I find the idea of no boxes a good one because in our desi weddings gift registries don’t work at all and if they were to happen most of them would end up getting the same thing or getting a different brand of the one you wanted and total ignore what you have written. How many times has it happened in desi weddings when you invite Mr and Mrs only and they end up bringing the family and kids as well. LOL! It just won’t work. Or if they don’t have the registry and their isn’t a no box restriction, can you imagine the amount of useless stuff the couple get and and all the same crystal dishes lol.
