Wedding present lists.

[R-evans]

Inspired by the other thread with the chap not knowing what presents to get

I've been to a few weddings where the couple have made a wedding present list for things they need/want for their house, etc.

I always thought it was a bit cheeky as some had really expensive stuff on it, but I wouldn't know what to buy otherwise and thinking about it, when I get married (next few years) I like the idea of choosing what I get rather than getting things I wont like and know I could have had better.

What is the general thought on these?

Boring thread I know, no need to tell me.

Yeah, I can see the benefits, but I absolutely hate the idea. It's grotesque

That's what I have thought when buying, but been the recipient seems good to me

+ it has helped me to buy, I just don't like the ones with a £1500 tv on it.

Make sure you have items in the ranges 0-10-20-30-40-50+ so guests have the option depending on budget

If I'm paying for two of their meals and a day out 50+ will be the starting price

I wrote a rhyme on our invites saying that we just want people there and if they feel inclined to get a gift then Thomson vouchers would be lovely.

Then we're going to rock up at the travel agents the next day to see where we can go for our honeymoon last minute

Enjoy Butlins

(would be a bit funny though)

Don't knock butlins, I was there the other week \o/

I wasn't knocking it. But your wife would if that's where you took her for honeymoon.

Well I know there's already £800 in the kitty as a starting point, so maybe center parcs

My GF has always wanted to go to centre parks, good idea!

My girlfriend's cousin has everything and he is really hard to buy for at xmas/birthdays. During a drunken discussion about presents, and having just started dating, he said all he wanted were condoms.

Every one of his presents were little 2x2inch square packages

Thought it was funny.

(he got a bit of money in cards too)
