Unfortunately my sister won't appreciate anything that's not from Williams Sonoma. I swear she registered for a new can opener just because she could! She've even started to criticize any gift she has gotten that hasn't been on the registry. As time is a factor at this point I may just get them something small from the registry (salad spinner) and then give them a gift card to use on their honeymoon. I don't know. I'm gonna decide more after my rent check clears next week.Sallie's Niecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03662769521869035227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233623794741521754.post-85555216172405988552008-07-24T09:29:00.000-04:002008-07-24T09:29:00.000-04:00for your sister, i know she's bridezilla, but when...for your sister, i know she's bridezilla, but when you're really close to the couple getting married, it IS considered acceptable and even nicely sentimental to go off-register for something very personal (as i understand it, registries were set up in the first place to make sure that you got desirable stuff from those who might not know what you need or want as a newly married couple). perhaps you can go a little less expensive, but more creative, like with a book about travel that they could look through for inspiration in their adventures as a married couple, a set of movies that they love or in a genre they love (nothing like a good set of katharine hepburn classics!), etc. another thing i did for my brother that really delighted him was that i wrote him and his soon-to-be-wife each a long letter (by hand) the night before their wedding, sealed it up and dated it for a year from the date, and gave it to them to open on their anniversary. it was just neat... something to remember how we were all feeling just a year before. i dunno... i'm just all for the creative/cheap options, and i swear there are lots of them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233623794741521754.post-11939224818307853672008-07-23T22:18:00.000-04:002008-07-23T22:18:00.000-04:00I know.
