September 2010 Weddings
Dear Community,
Our tech team has launched updates to The Nest today. As a result of these updates, members of the Nest Community will need to change their password in order to continue participating in the community. In addition, The Nest community member's avatars will be replaced with generic default avatars. If you wish to revert to your original avatar, you will need to re-upload it via The Nest.
If you have questions about this, please email help@theknot.com.
Thank you.
Note: This only affects The Nest's community members and will not affect members on The Bump or The Knot.
If you're new to this, you'll need to create an account on Elfster. For those who participated last year, I had to create a new group.
ETA: PM me for the link.
Right now, I have the deadline to sign up as December 1st. Names will be drawn once sign-up has ended and I set the exchange for Dec 17th. If you all think this is too late, I can change it. I wanted to give plenty of time to sign up and then make sure things would arrive by Christmas (I know, Hanukkah is early Dec this year, right?) I highly suggest adding items to your wishlist to give your SS ideas.
Also, what do we think the spending limit should be? $15? $20?
My deal is that I am going to murder your puppies and piss on your rainbows.

Re: Secret Santa
Can I get a double gift from my SS since my birthday is on Dec. 18th? I always get screwed out of birthday gifts since it's so close to Christmas.. .*pout*
I'm totally jk about the double gift btw
I feel your pain. My b-day is the 15th and I've always gotten birthday/christmas presents.
Your concern is valid. It looks like there's a wall where you can post comments. I just made a post there to link my name to my Knottie/Nestie name. And I moved the link to FB. Or you can PM me.
Also, if you're going to sign up, please make sure you're going to follow thru with this so everyone who participates gets a gift.
how do we PM on here?
northstar - mines on 12/4 and im always cheated out of gifts too even tho its 3 freakin weeks before xmas!

No problem! I was going to say we should sticky this post, but I forgot we're currently mod-less. I'll just post reminders every week.
You can use your login from last year. You'll just need the link to find the group (a lot of new people and many non-returners from last year). It's on FB, or I can PM it to you.

We should have a nest birthday party! Mine is the 20th! And I totally feel your pain. I can't believe that some people actually write "Happy Birthday" inside the boxed Christmas card that I get!!!!! Really?????
xxoo
wow, i thought mine was bad being 12/4 and still being cheated that far out, but 11/27 come on people! that sucks really bad...im sorry!
ok call me dumb, but how does this SS work?
do we make a wishlist on elfster and our SS goes off that or what?
Your SS doesn't have to go off the wishlist, it's just suggestions.
And thanks Jenn for the link!
If you make a wishlist, your SS can buy off of it or buy anything else. If you have one, it can often help give your SS ideas. I know I had stuff on there last year that was from other sites, but I can't tell you how I did it.
I'll try to look into it later today when work slows down.
mine is 1/21 and I get the same thing - at least people legitimately have no money for gifts after Christmas!
