My husband got married at his folks historic home back in December. We had a beautiful, intimate, ceremony with a dinner following there at the estate. We only invited around 40 of our closest family and friends because we wanted a small, private, meaningful night. Everything went perfectly (cept for the preacher forgetting our names) and everyone was wonderful. However, over the next week as we started opening our gifts, we noticed most had no name tags. I blamed his mom and brothers for not being careful and getting things messed up. I was heartbroken because I had my thank you cards ready to go. But, then we realized that all the gifts without names were actually from his parents. It is no exaggeration to say that 70% of the people who attended our wedding showed up without a gift of any kind, and one couple, whose daughter was one of my flower girls, and I paid $350+ for her dress and accessories, only gave us a greeting card. Running out of room, so I'll continue below.
