[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally, the polite thing to do is to have gifts delivered to the address on the invitation either before or after the wedding. It is difficult to transport gifts on the actual day of the wedding.

China settings and silver frames or candlesticks are not shower gifts, they are traditionally considered wedding gifts.

[b]Wedding gifts have meaning and will remind you of the giver for the rest of you life. We have items that were given to us by family and friends who have since passed away: I like being reminded of people I love when I see those things. Cash, a gift card, or a check could never have the same effect.[/quote][/b]

I agree.[/quote]

I received literally nothing of meaning to me.  I could not tell you, unless I dug out my old thank you list, who purchased the wine glasses and place setting of china.  Or who gave us the ugly-assed crucifix that went straight to Goodwill.  Whereas the cash we received enabled us to purchase a lovely antique on our honeymoon that brings me joy every day.[/quote]

Are you serious?  Did you register for the wine glasses and china?  If so, why did you register for things that would have no meaning for you?  I registered for a set of china that I use everyday.  I may not remember every person that bought pieces of it, but I'm grateful to have it everyday.[/quote]

Different poster here.  I received more china than I registered for, so I returned one or two place settings.  After MIL cornered me about it, she actually insisted I tell her whose china I returned.  Like I kept track?  WTF?
