A week before the wedding I had people over for dinner and drinks and all the ladies got their hands henna'd so I guess I did have a kitchen tea of sorts without even knowing it!

The registry is at House...so yeah not overly cheap. Their bridal registry is at DJ's which I had a sticky beak at the other day...there was a $1000 vacuum cleaner, Kitchen Aid and $600 knife block on there. I think we'll be giving them cash
Lovely couple but not short of a buck by any means!

Back in the 80's my brothers fiancé had 4 teas! There were a couple of kitchen ones, a laundry one and another one. Way over the top!
OMG do you mean there is a registry for the kitchen tea
... please tell me i have that wrong !!

OMH a registry at house!!!!!
We put a few "big ticket" items on our wedding registry, with the idea being if a group wanted to buy us something big, the option was there. So our church small group bought us coffee machine which worked out well as when we had DD we moved the meeting place to our house so now they get to enjoy it
But a KT registry at House?? Waaaay OTT! The last kitchen tea I went to was a proper one and I bought a peeler and a jar of basil!
I've heard of Tupperware KTs as well.. that's a good idea, the guests can either buy the bride something from the catalogue (which can be exxy) or they can contribute some cash into a little gift chest and at the end the bride spends the cash. So it can keep the cost down for guests that can't afford to buy a hundred dollar rock n serve set!
But House... flabbergasted here! GL with that one Allycat!

I'm glad you say that OP when I first read the invitation I was like geez is this what everyone's kitchen teas are like! I think I might skip the KT...the hen's is the night before and is costing a bit, May is also DS's 1st birthday and car rego, expensive month!
.... Ally go the hen's night, stuff the kitchen tea register that's too much besides how many are going to be there with hangovers looking at creamy cakes blahh
(What date does your DS turn 1 in May ?? ... my DD's b'day is the 6th)

I know what you mean smiles! The couple both come from very wealthy families so I guess are used to a certain standard of living...unlucky for some! My wedding was very low key...small civil ceremony and ****tail party after. I wasn't even going to have a hen's as I was 5 months pg but in the end my friends took me out for dinner and a night out in a fancy hotel in the city. Bless them. The only other wedding I've been to was modest but nice. This big fancy wedding business is all very new to me!
OMG no wonder this society is going broke ... and this is for only one couple for there was probably the engagement gift not to mention might have paid for your own dinner at a restaurant, then the hen's night, kitchen tea ... and that's not even the Wedding yet where you buy a gift or better still put a heap of money into a wishing well (which you need the ca$h up front) ... and oh too bad if you need a new dress & heels
Geez, what happen to the days when people took into consideration that no one is rich and was simply happy that you came at all and not fuss where the gift was purchased from and what was spent on it ... farr outt i must be old-fashioned i miss the days for a kitchen tea party when you picked up some cheap kitchen utensils from Kmartand sat around ate cake and played silly games and more importantly had some good girly laughter
