Re: No boxed gifts please
i simply hate this whole idea of "no boxed gifts, Please" what if they aren't planning to gift anything at all. they just want to come... eat the dinner... c the couple and go..... or what if they can't afford to give money. how much money can you give anyways??? where do u draw the line that this much $$$ is enough to give.
whereas if you buy a gift.... even a simple frame.... or a $30 worth frame would be great. ppl can easily give money or salami in pakistan... but here... i haven't understood the whole idea. how much is less and how much is more.
so couples should accept whatever thier guests bring for them.
but i know this couple who got 20 toasters on their shaadi!!! can u believe that?? I dont know wht they did with it... but it was damn funny!!! ppl need to get more creative.
my mother usually buy a kitchen thing if the couple is going to move out or is going to a brand new home and have to start from zero. and if the couple is going to stay with rest of the family then she buy a nice decoration piece.
aur aab tak... everyone have been so happy with the gifts she has given.
