Honeymoon Registry

[33girl]

On one hand, I think it's great that people are finally accepting that even though something's a "traditional" gift they might not get a lot of use out of it and asking people to buy it is silly. My parents (married in the 1960s) have a full set of china for 12, and honestly, I think we used it once after I came along.* I'd rather buy someone a big Steelers polar fleece blankie for the couch that they're going to use every day.

Although having learned more thru this thread - if someone's asking for a honeymoon massage (shouldn't you be stress free enough there to not need one?) that undoubtedly is overpriced to an insane degree, at that point I'd rather just buy them a bottle of Gentleman Jack and call it a day. At least the bottle they can save, LOL.

*We all kept ourselves from feeling guilty about this by dint of the fact that my uncle owned a jewelry store and undoubtedly got the whole set at cost. LOL. When Mom & Dad 33 got married, it was just them, the minister and the photog - they'd been dating for so long they didn't want a big wedding. However, upon cleaning the house out recently, I couldn't BELIEVE how much wedding-present stuff they had - I shudder to think if they WOULD have had a registry etc etc.
