Cost of weddings

@cpa2011

I kind of agree with the no boxed gifts. What if people just give like cheap tacky gifts? Why shouldn’t the couple say fine just give us cash? If people are actually buying gifts, they will probably spend like 200 on a gift, might as well give 200 cash instead. The couple can buy something they want.

^ Then the couple graciously says thank you to the cheap tacky gift and moves on with their life, since neither a crockpot from the 70s nor $200 is going to help the happy couple live a happy life.

Grace is accepting a gift no matter what it is because it is a waitforit a GIFT!!!

When someone specifies what they want - it is no longer a gift and instead becomes an entrance fee to participate in the spectacle that is a wedding.

Again, my two cents
