Except it’s rude for the couple to expect gifts from guests- the couple invited them to enjoy the happiness of their union..not so they can help you out with the excessive amt they spent on the wedding to show off. Ideally speaking, that is.
. I personally wouldn’t put No boxed gifts on my wedding card, but I don’t really have an issue with it either, it’s so common I hardly notice it…yes, the ideal would be to instead put “no cash or boxed gifts, all gifts will be donated to charity”…and I get a good vibe when I see a couple that does that…what a great ex. to set!!!
Honestly though, when I go wedding these days, I feel like I pay this big admission fee at entrance…Even a day at Disney doesn’t cost as much!
