I was absolutely FLOORED by this comment I read on theknot.com's website!

So I was checking out the etiquette for thank you notes for gifts received before the wedding and stumbled on this comment.  I was actually standing in line waiting to pick up a prescription from the pharmacy, and I was so taken aback I almost turned to the lady behind me in line to share this ridiculous comment! After reading this, I could barely believe she would even have any for friends to sure up to her wedding!

"I am FLOORED that so many people did not give or send gifts that attended our wedding. I would never DREAM of attending a wedding without either having had sent a gift already or bringing a gift with me!!! Although there were quite a few waiting for us when we got back from our honeymoon, we still have not received anything (not even a card) from about 1/2 our guests!! QUESTION: Is there a way to broach this subject with friends or family (which actually has hurt my feelings) that have not sent anything? I know I should take the higher road and still send a thank you card for attending but I feel that it's disrespectful to us as a couple to come and not even acknowledge how special of an event it was--and that we invited them to share it with us--with even the smallest token!!!!

Ridiculous!

Home carbonation machine

Bwahahaha.  While registering at Macy's yesterday, I found my carbonation machine. 

We also got 25 of those little we're registered at Macy's papers, the rest will come in 2-3 weeks, which means that the first 25 invitations will be sent out to people who live furthest away.  The rest will follow. 

Gift Registries

Eddie and I went over to Target to register with the intent of getting the little papers to include in the invitations.  Alas, after a good hour of shooting the laser gun at various household items, we were informed that the company that produced the little papers has gone out of business.  So now we're hoping that Macy's still has the little papers and we can write "Also registered at Target" on the backs.  :)
