Just for FUN!
OK- we all know it's the thought that counts but sometime your just like- "Oh my good where are you thinking??"
I am not married yet- but the worst thing I ever saw was someone just dropped off an old bottle of champange they had left over from their wedding on the gift table with no card or anything!!

for a wedding gift from my own mother, i received her lingerie when she got married and told me that it runs in the family and i should pass it on to my son's wife - Hell no, my son will kill me for embarrassing him.

I have seen some pretty awful things given as presents- but i think the funniest thing is when a couple adds something horrendous to their OWN registry.
I have to go to a wedding this upcoming weekend with my fiance. The couple has no kids, but they have 3 dogs, a house and pretty much need to stock it. You would THINK that they would at least put the normal things on there such as dishes, bathroom stuff etc- but NO...lol.
Some of the things were ok- like a tent, some frames, furniture, but the one thing that threw me off was the amount of PET items they wanted- INCLUDING dog food!!
Of course I am not mean- so I will be getting them something else- but Come on now- who in the HECK wants dog food? I guess them...lol. All i know is that you should have a variety of things on the registry but anything that has to do with kids or pets is funny....

I received a set of cheap etched glass dishes in the most beat-up box I've ever seen. It had been taped together. The dish pattern didn't match the description on the box. The plates didn't even sit level on the table. I wrote a nice thank you note to the giver and dropped the dishes off at Good Will.

it was from our Receptionist at the reception hall...I paid over $4k forthis day and my wife was so looking forward ot it. We had invited friendsand family and had made such a great menu to feast on Prime rib !
Now for those who have not read my name yet its Glenn but according to the sigh it reasd
Grats GREG and Lynn
I walked ininto the rep hall and our receptionist was waiting. my Family was there and some of hers and I was then asked Isnt this great !?!
I turned to her and said not really ... who the F&CK is Greg ?
My Wife was crushed and wanted to cry /
The Receptionist stated wel lyou are !! I looked her i nthe eyes and said I AM GLENN NOT GREG !
Well the man who made the sign could not be reached and only 10 people stopped and entered the hal lto see if this was the right place/ Al lthe others drove right on by and disreguarded the dirvections that where given on invites.
I was given a rebate of 1k and I also had a guest list who got to take home a brown bag of goodies LOL .
I just love tryingot make the best of a bad situtation .

im not sure if its because we already live together with our 2 year old... but for some reason from a lot of people we got nothing. this one guy shows up drunk, stays in the parking lot the whole time drinking didnt talk to anyone, ate the food, drank our beer, flirted with the bartender and got us nothing. I hate those people that come to a wedding just for free food and drinks, and dont even bring a gift?!?! that was 200 dollars NOT well spent on his a s s !!

I;m not complainging cuz it is the thought that counts, but one of my fmily members gave us a gift card that had been given to them by their work. It was a nice gesture, ut he had asked me about the restaurant a couple weeks b4 the wedding so I knew where he had gotten it from. It was kinda funny.
We also had several guests, mostly our wedding party and other relatives who brought no gift at all either to the shower or the reception.But we didnt really mind too much...

The worst present I got for a wedding present were two kelly green wine glasses; one had the torso of the woman's body (breasts) and the other the guy's body (lower region). They were made by some artist and given to us by close friends; so we couldn't really say anything...because maybe they just had horrible taste; or maybe we were suposed to appreciate the artist; or maybe it was a joke? We were apprehensive about asking...and every once in a while we consider selling them on Ebay, as they are supposedly worth some money.

First, from a woman who was known for exquisite taste, I received a start to a china pattern that was hideous. Looked like food had already been eaten on it. I returned it to the store, but graciously thanked her.
The other was a pink & green 3-piece lazy susan/dip set. I passed it on to the next wedding I was invited to. Thing is, the bride LOVED it.

I had at least 2 guests who came & enjoyed the food and I got nothing from them, not even a card! And they were relatives, my aunt and my cousin. I couldn't even imagne it. Hopefully they felt a little ashamed when I sent them a thank you for coming to the wedding, but i doubt they did. (Oh did I mention my cousin has 4 babies of which I spent at least 20 bucks on each for baby shower gifts, no more presents for her)

We got a wedding card that said on the outside, "Congradulations on your Wedding"
On the inside was a sweet poem and their signatures.
Also in the envelope was a business card for a divorce lawyer.
We gave the card back to them when they cheated on each other.

My husband's parents are divorced. So from his mother, we received NOTHING. From his father and step-mother, a card that his sister had signed their names.
My sister gave a rice cooker....she knows I hate rice. She also bought little nick-knacks at a dollar tree store, while the bridal party was at the hair salon....next store over.
We received a single dish towel from a person I had known most of my life.
