|
| How many gifts have you put on your guest list? We are having approximately 80 adults coming to the wedding ceremony and a further 30 to the evening reception... and the only advice I can find in the magazines is to make sure there is plenty of choice still available for those who leave it until the last minute. Does this mean I should have a lot more gifts than guests, and how does it work in relation to how much a guest wants to spend. I want to make sure that I am not asking for too many expensive gifts. |

| I don't think you need to be too logical. Just make sure there are many more gifts available than guests and that you have lots of different price ranges available, an evening guest is not going to spend as much as a daytime family member. If you have lots of cheaper gifts.. then generous guests may buy two things etc. I know what you are getting at though, I feel quite greedy at the whole idea of a gift list, and am thinking of just asking for vouchers from a specific store... so people can spend as much as they like |

Thanks Andi.
I just wasn't sure if there was a certain ettiquette on how to do gift lists!
Can you get vouchers from B&Q? that would be ideal instead of a gift list |

 YES YOU CAN>>>WE DID EXACTLY THAT!!!!!!
Its fab cos you can get everything big or small from a handle to the fitted kitchen it goes in! We have a whole house to decorate, patio doors to buy, a new kitchen and bathroom to get.... like i say- we honeymooned in B&Q! The other people generally gave us cash or cheques so now we have the chance to sort stuff out. We have nowhere enough to do everything (funnythat eh?!) but we have the leisure of grabbing bits and bobs when we want them not trying to organise projects or waiting for payday.
Family put in bigger chunks but the neighbours popped 10 in a card which was lovely and all adds up.
