Mini wedding gift rant

Ok... so there were three coworkers of mine (who weren't invited to the wedding) who all asked me where we were registered, and said that they wanted to get us gifts. I tell them "Oh, it's ok, really you don't have to do that" and they insist up and down that they really wanted to get us something. And then didn't....

It just annoys me that they *insisted* they were going to. Even when I told them they shouldn't. And then they don't. I would rather you not tell me anything, then to tell me you're going to get me a present and don't.

Re: Mini wedding gift rant

  • We had several of those from DH's family that was invited to the wedding. I try not to think anything of it when someone says they're going to buy a gift until I see the gift.

  • I actually had that happen with my co-worker.  It is slightly disappointing, but maybe it is the thought that counts?

  • That's like on one of our declining RSVP cards it said 'gift to follow' but we still haven't received anything yet. Not that I'm expecting it, but you shouldn't write that if you aren't going to send something!
  • Yeah, that is disappointing.  Not so sure whether it IS the thought that counts in this case. 

    We had that happen in a few instances -- one of Mom's church friends forgot it was our Bridal Shower Sunday and ran home after church to get a Yankee Candle gift card she had bought for a coworker's birthday.  Would have been super thoughtful, but considering she told us all this, I was slightly put off.  Then she tells us that more presents will come for the actual wedding.  I smiled, but then turned and rolled my eyes.  And have I seen any of these said presents?  Heck no!

    I think people tell you they are getting you a gift to make themselves feel better.  Not that anyone is entitled to a gift, but you girls know what I mean.
