I don't normally do this, but...

[LLL]

I'm blown away by the wedding evite I received this morning:

We don’t want to offend but we have it all,
All household goods and so much more.
To save you shopping, sit back and rest,
A gift of currency is our request.
Don’t go overboard or rob any banks,
Any little thing will make us smile with thanks.
We supply the wishing well,
No wrapping, an envelop who can tell.
Now that we have saved you all the fuss,
It would be appreciated if you would come
And celebrate with us

[loveday]

Erm. No words.

[RobotLegs]

I HATE THIS. Like, I hate it the most of any wedding-related thing.

I love giving money for weddings, but DON'T BEG FOR IT. Ugh.

[Deleted]

BARF.

[peachykate]

I, uh, yeah, I've got nothing.

[vicky]

*cringe* tack-ay.

my H's cousin sent us a save-the-date magnet with their engagement photo on it. I put it on the fridge and he said "Is that a part of your new diet plan?" ha.

[Kit]

This might beat the tackyness of the shower invite I posted about yesterday (she registered for people to contribute to her photographer).

You win!

[missyny]

:-|

[Anne Blythe]

Hm. I would be most disturbed if I received this.

[LLL]

I'm so embarrassed for her. this person was in my wedding by the way. and I didn't even know she was dating someone, let alone getting married. haven't seen her in maybe 1.5 yrs

[honeybee]

Eek.

Why do people think that making it rhyme makes it better?

[leeann]

Ok, there is a lot I hate about this, but I have to ask - are they saying they want just an envelope or not? The "an envelope who can tell" - I realize they were trying to make the line work in the craptastic poem or whatever it is, but what the hell dohes that mean?

[RobotLegs]

I like what our friend did who's getting married in a few weeks. They registered on Amazon- for like, a couple of dumb camping things and then Amazon gift cards. It makes the point clear that "Hey, we want money" without being tacky, IMO.

[Deleted]

That's the worse give us money poem I've ever read. Unfortunately, I've read a lot of them.

[LLL]

I think she means sign your name on the envelope so we know who its from? I have no clue.

[RobotLegs]

Here is your gift
It isn't cash
It's poison ivy
Enjoy the rash!

[silva]

Until people respond to this by not giving anything, it won't stop.

[lightbulbsun]

Ew.

[iamgrace]

Wow wow wow.

They definitely need a toaster.

[Deleted]

This is a regift opportunity if ever I saw one.

Ick.

[silva]

Old George Forman Grill! I a blue one. just pay for shipping.

Also, I'd send them a blender. Non-returnable.

And and see if somehow you can engrave it!

[bcv513]

I think the worst part is they're making it sound like they're doing YOU a favor! "Sit back and rest" "Now that we've saved you all the fuss." Yeah, aren't you wonderful.

If they really have it all, what the hell are they begging their guests for money for?
I'd send a charitable donation in their name somewhere.

:Y:

[janegold]

That's not even a good poem.

[retardy4thaparty]

I see several personalized picture frames in their future!

[amanda772]

Rude AND poorly written. If you don't just straight up ignore it, a charitable donation in their name would be hilarious.

[eb777888]

I received something similar from our neighbor. We got the invite asking for no gifts but money instead "to start their new life" complete with a bank account number set aside for deposits all IN THE INVITATION. I about had a heart attack. H went to the wedding, I refused.

[momnteach]

That's horrible. I wouldn't give them anything. They have it all anyways, right?

[Knight]

I'd buy her a Miss Manners book and bookmark the chapter on weddings with a $1 bill. I'm a bitch like that.
