I must admit that does sound rude but some times just sometimes ppl do have everything they "THINK" they need. Now in saying that i got married in a different country where all my hubbies family lives we said to ppl please dont give us any gifts at all but bring a plate to the reception. We did also imply that if ppl felt they must give something cash would be of preference as we did not have the money spare to pay the weight on it to get back to Australia And i did have a house full of stuff .

We did get a few bits of cash not alot but every time i say something anything i was like WOW and very appreciative wethor that be 10 or 20 or more dollars. In total we got about 600 not much but the effect of that amount ment we were able to do things on our honey moon we would not have been able to do like dine out more and things like that.

There was one person whom gave us about 350 and i nearly died i was so amazingly wowed out. There was another person whom did buy us a gift to bring back to Australia and i gotta tell ya that one gift takes pride of place in our room. Wouldn't have cost very much 20 at max It was a picture frame with 4 pictures of the seanery of where we got married In New Zealand. Even tho we said no gifts please it was the best received thing!! Ild suggest buy a gift if they are rude enough not to be grateful stuff them. My momma always said beggers cant be choosers!!!
