Phema: I meant, does anyone have their own personal wedding website to help their guests get ready for the upcoming wedding? Not a wedding blog/company. |

Every one, please I need your take on this. . . I really don't like this idea of guests buying gifts for the couple cos to be candid, most of these gifts are usually what the couple already have or what they might not need in decades! Ranges from cutlery to general cooking utensils, to basic household utilities. These items end up causing more harm than good With the newly wedded couple looking for space to store them. Heck! My mum's own is still locked up somewhere and she hasn't used one tenth of it. Now, we were just thinking. . . Is there a way one can add a "cash only" caption in the IV? Something like; "You do not have to come with gifts, but if you must, please make it cash only" Will that be too blunt, rude or desperate? 2 Likes |

Phema: Every one, please I need your take on this. . .have you bought these already for your new home? If you have not, don't buy them until the wedding is over just incase you get them as gifts! Don't put that on the IV! Put 'dont come with a gift' rather.forget the cash. 1 Like |

alutacontinua: Hahahahahaha. The thing dey tire me jare. What's with the spoons and pots? Like the couple's lives depend on it. Ok ok, I agree it's too blunt, please help with a more subtle way of passing the message across. |
Re: Would Be Brides; Come In, Let's Plan Together! by Nobody: 5:53am On Dec 04, 2013 |
ireneidiva: Yes. We have these things and more. The house is already well furnished and equipped. So, the gifts will just be useless and take up unnecessary space which we can't even afford or worse still, end up in one of our parents empty rooms! Maybe we will go with the "Don't come with gifts" caption and leave out the "cash only". The people wey soji go understand |
Re: Would Be Brides; Come In, Let's Plan Together! by eagleeye2: 6:38am On Dec 04, 2013 |
Phema:As an Igbo boy, I always look for a win-win situation. Why not just allow the guests to come with whatever they have, and make arrangement with Gift Shop/ Super market to buy off the ones you don't need at 20% discount. Nobody will be the wiser. 3 Likes |
Re: Would Be Brides; Come In, Let's Plan Together! by Nobody: 6:51am On Dec 04, 2013 |
eagle,eye: Nice idea. Are there shops that will agree to that? |
Re: Would Be Brides; Come In, Let's Plan Together! by eagleeye2: 7:10am On Dec 04, 2013 |
Phema:Am sure you will find one. The 20% or more discount will make it even more attractive. Moreover when they see that the gift items are new and unused, I don't see why they won't make a deal. |

chaircover: Busted! Lol. Seriously, i dont like this random gift thingy jare. It's either you ask the couple what they need or give cash. One can never go wrong with cash. So, what do you think we should do? Any subtle approach you can proffer? |
Re: Would Be Brides; Come In, Let's Plan Together! by missjennybaby(f): 2:37pm On Dec 04, 2013 |
Phema, with regards to your "cash only" query, I would suggest putting a caption on the IV saying something along the lines of "We apologise that due to limited space, enveloped gifts are preferred. Thank you for your kind contribution." I saw this on a friends invitation and Im going to use it on mine too, hehe 10 Likes |
