Honestly I know this may sound selfish but I dont think this should be ‘expected’ from the newly weds they already have so my on their plates after their wedding.

I mean u should obviously say thanks but that can be done on the Facebook invite that was sent over or via calls or when u share ur wedding pics online. Basically a mass thank you while naming few extremely special people who contributed their days & nights. Hand written notes that too personalized is a Lil too much

After my wedding we were shifting, buying furniture, setting up the house and all that took 6months + our jobs!!

Its a firangi concept and it looks good on them only cuz they pull off a wedding in 200 ppl max, if I were to do this I would have gone ganji and needless to say my parents called people I saw for the first time in my life

So is cutting a cake, having assigned tables with place cards, calling tables by number for the buffet and the bride and groom’s first dance…but that doesn’t stop anyone.

I’m not sure if you did any of this or not…but why do some people think it’s okay to adopt “firangi” concepts when it suits them and dismiss them as unnecessary and foreign to the culture when the concept demands that you make an extra effort? I think this is precisely where my beef lies…

Ooh I can think of quite a fee reasons this is a good move:

1. The amount of recycled gifts u get is insane, I have 4 dinner sets at my place and they all are something I will never use (one is exceptionally hidious with orange and red designed plates) the boxes obviously look like they have gone through a few hands so definitely not just bought from a shop just for me..its obviously been passed on cuz they didn’t want it either? Warna u at least tell ppl to exchange it with the shop if u dont like the design in 14 days or something!
   I have a 1bdr apt and an open kitchen..where am I suppose to keep 4 dinner set boxes, I dont get it…

2. When u clearly know I Dont live in Pakistan and have just come to get married here WHY would u gift me a microwave..like WHY? My MIL uses it now..

3. I’ll buy what I like with ur gift money and give u duaein in return.

You have to write it these days otherwise be prepared to have micros and dinnersets stacked

1. Donate the dinner sets to the needy. They will give you duaein.
2. As someone mentioned, MIL may be giving you duaein.
3. So no duaein from you unless you get cash to buy whatever you want? j/k

I mailed thank you cards with a picture to the buzurgs at the wedding. My mother called everyone else and thanked them.

EXACTLY.
That’s all it takes.
