18 Wedding Etiquette Rules Rude Guests Have Broken

2.

“If the couple has a registry and it’s reasonable,* please be sure to get their gift from that registry. Items on mine ranged from $6 to $100, and many weren’t purchased. Instead, several guests spent way too much money on something that was only their taste, which has sat in a box for the last decade.”

“I registered for a $6 box of coasters because I actually wanted, and would have used, those coasters. I did not register for a (probably over $200) solid silver salad bowl, designed to look like woven bamboo, because I do not want it and will never use it. Because it is engraved with our last name, no one will ever use it. It was a waste of money and the materials needed to make it. Save your money, save the planet, and get things the couple tell you they need/want rather than things you want them to have.

*If the couple registers for insanely expensive gifts like a new couch, all bets are off.”
