Tacky to the 1,000th power.
[and here comes the rant]
We've created a society where the better friends of the couple don't say, "Hester & Oliver really don't need much in the way of household gifts, since they've both been divorced six times and have bee living together for 16 years. I do think that they would love something towards a much-needed honeymoon, though." Instead, Hester & Oliver feel free to register at 20 stores/places, one of which is NOT a place to celebrate a union, so much as help pay for a spring break - and each place provides them with tacky little cards to discreetly (?!) tuck in the wedding and/or shower invitations.
If someone doesn't know where to buy something for Hester & Oliver, they should consider a monetary gift or call whomever is their connection to the couple.
I was stuck going to a bridal shower for someone I didn't even know (long story), but I did buy a card & a restaurant card. Everyone has to eat at some point.
