So I got a wedding invitation in the mail yesterday, and on both the invite and the response card was the phrase "No boxed gifts please." I was absolutely floored. That''s basically saying cash only. It''s bad enough to mention gifts at all, but to request what type of gift, wow.
So anyway, all rudeness aside, I have already purchased something for the couple. When they visited my home several months ago, the bride raved about this hand blown glass bowl that I had made and how it would go perfectly with her furnishings. So, I had a similar bowl made. I was going to give them that plus a smaller monetary gift. I know I really loved getting unexpected gifts like that. Everytime I look at them, it brings back fond memories of my wedding, and of the guests that gave me the items. Should I forget about giving them the bowl though since clearly all they care about is cash?
