My brothers were asking me what I wanted as my wedding present. I have no idea as I am not really a gift giving/receiving person. I am having a hard time because I am not moving out yet. So I wouldn’t want to get sofas, dining tables, chairs, pots & pans etc. because we have no room to put them and we have everything.
Dad is buying the bed set and the mattresses etc, neighbor is giving a comforter’s set, mom might give me another comfortor set in addition to a lot of stuff parents are already doing. Today is my deadline to let my brothers know what I want, warna they will get me whatever they feel like.
I already have colognes, shoes, ties, dress shirts, pants, TV, DVD player, everything I could think of. What can I tell them to give me? If nothing cash/gift certificates can always be used as a backup.
Yar I am equally bad at giving / recieving gifts
You know - BEST is to ask them to give you an equal amount of cash
That will give you flexibility to buy whatever YOU need - whenever YOU want
Stalker uncle That’s what they want, but they plan on giving me a large amount of cash. A gift is a gift. I think it’ll save them money if they actually gave me a gift because no matter how much cash you give, it’s not really “gift”. Woh baat nahi hoti.
Sajal Thanks. The wedding is inshallah on July 29th in NY, but the Valima is on August 5th in New Orleans.
Sheen same reply to you as to uncle stalker. And I can’t ask my UN for suggestions, we have promised to not to talk to each other until the wedding. That will spice up the wait
Smilestar ki bachi, I already knew it When I saw you had replied to my thread, the first thing that came to my mind was that you’d say “I can’t help”…but to my surprise, I actually saw a suggestion but NOW you’ve fulfilled my deja vu, like always
Think of something
Impulse & Orpheus I am going to my honeymoon a few days after the wedding. Can’t take anymore vacation because I’ll be out of my paid vacation time after the honeymoon. Can’t even think of vacation until January 07.
Impulse you are right A car has been arranged for us to drive from the airport to the hotel. Obviously the hotel has been arranged as well. Flights have been taken care of. Everything that I can think of has been arranged and is ready. Now I am just sitting back and relaxing.
Orpheus I am thinking the same thing I guess I might have to settle on cash What are some good colognes? I have Ralph Lauren Polo Sports, Revlon Fire and Ice, Adidas, 212, Nautica, Hummer, and one more.
talking about gifts....i just remembered something....recently i have noticed alot of wedding invitations have the words "no boxed gifts please" or "no gifts please" written on them.
I remember one even said that "no gifts please....your attendance is more than enough....however if you still feel the urge to give something, then gift vouchers would be appreciated"
I find that cheap. As a matter of fact, I find wedding registration at stores cheap as well. It's like asking for gifts. Whatever people want to give. In fact, I don't even care, all I want is that people be there. May be that's because I don't like to receive/gifts, period.
First of all Bohat bohat mubarak ho on ur wedding shakira jee.. May Allah keep u and bhabi always happy and give a long life..
Second thing related to ur question .. You can ask ur brother not to give u any gift at the moment but rather give u something when u decide to move out.. Or as other said before, u can ask for straight forward cash.. (If it is possible)...
I don't like gifts, period. She loves gifts, especially to give, that too to me. We always fight when she has to give me a gift because I keep refusing. But she wins. When I have to give her something, it's on a big occasion and I ask her what exactly she wants. All I do is go to the store and buy it.
We started not talking since the 16th. Its very tough to stop all of the sudden when you talk 3-4 times a day. I gave up after 2 days and called her yesterday. Since I "broke the rule", she will "break it as well" and call me once. I don't know when, that's a surprise. But when she does, we will def. not talk after that because only about 9 days are left, we should be able to make it through.
