Re: No boxed gifts please
I definitely agree with SGC. This has always been one of my pet peeves.
First of all, I think its incredibly crass to specify what kind of a gift you want right on the invitation. Its tacky enough when people include the little registry cards from the store with the invites, but this is just getting absurd. And if that's not bad enough, you're basically demanding money on top of that...its the height of rudeness.
I've honestly always wondered, considering how overly polite our culture usually is, how people's parents don't consider this totally behaya and aren't mortified when their kids try to pull this stunt.
