[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or be like the Indians, my neighbors, whose weddings, birthday parties I have been to...unabashedly right no gifts and flowers please. Checks and cash are expected.[/quote]

* write not right, on their invitation cards.[/quote]

I'm sorry.  I don't know a single Indian who would write "Checks and cash are expected" on an invitation.  That's ridiculous!!  I'm 22:01, and I'm Indian..and I would find that incredibly offensive (and I find your post incredibly offensive also).  I have seen before, "No boxed gifts please."  And I, and most everyone else, found it incredibly offensive (as, it turned out, were many other aspects of that particular wedding).[/quote]

Yeah, I am Indian and I agree. I saw "No boxed gifts" on one invitation and thought it was really tacky.

I can't believe I have to say this, but just because your Indian neighbors are rude doesn't mean that they represent all "the Indians."  My white neighbors are total cheapskates, but I am not so stupid (or racist) to assert that all white people are cheapskates.[/quote]

NP. I am Indian and it is very common to write no boxed gifts on the invitations. We have a very large family here and I have been to several weddings, birthday parties, naming ceremonies and 9 times out of 10 the 'request' is no boxed gifts please. Only once did I see, no gifts of any kind, only your attendance and blessings or some such.[/quote]
