Well, I guess I blew it where my daughter's wedding is concerned.
She's getting married in a month. In her invitations, we put a short note that said this:
E and N have already moved into their own apartment at 445 D Hwy, Apt 1800, M AL 36555. E’s father has given them many of his kitchen items from his tour in Korea and they have managed to collect various pieces of furniture from friends and other family members. Considering the events (car problems) from the last few weeks, and their plans to BOTH attend college during the upcoming years, they are asking that you consider helping them build a nest egg for tuition and transportation.
She didn't register anywhere.
I disagree with asking for money specifically towards their honeymoon....and at the same time, I have to say "that's what I did."
We had a shower for her yesterday -- and most of those folks have already received the invitation too. E received 5 Walmart gift cards and you know what? That was her favorite present out of everything. Don't know if it's right or wrong, but that's what happened.
