There is no socially acceptable way to do this, but I think you will find
that sterling and (good) china are cash equivalents; they can be easily returned to the store they were purchased from (and often even to another store that carries them). -- Suzanne S.

I've found that a word to your best friend or mother/mother-in-law can help.
When we were asked what we would like, we mentioned Lowe's gift certificates. We got enough cash and gift certificates to get the item we really wanted - a retractable screen door for the deck. :-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Suzanne S.

Since you are asking for an opinion that has nothing to do with the
subject of these newsgroups, I will jump in. If this this is wedding two, three, four or more then you shouldn't be trying to bilk your friends and family out of more money, china, household goods or anything else. Otherwise Jezebel's suggestion might work or just accept gracefully what you get. Ginji wrote: nEverything will double...

In this case, you tell people you don't want gifts because you already have
everything you need. You suggest an appropriate charity to which they can make donations in your honor. Then you hope that some will send checks to you instead (or in addition). If not, you've still done the right thing. -- Suzanne S.

Mine was #2 for me and #1 for him. Plus we'd been living together for almost
5 yrs. Talking to your moms and best friends will allow the other relatives and friends to learn about your preferences without sounding greedy. I hope your marriage is as wonderful is mine. We aren't kids so we thought long and hard about this major life change. Life is not always easy but at least I know that I have someone to hold my hand as I travel its rutted road. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Ginji" wrote in message news Wedding one...both have own residences... not trying to bilk for anything "Greg Maxey" wrote: Since you are asking for an opinion that has nothing to do with the subject of these newsgroups, I will jump in.
