She's my bestest friend and my maid of honor, but she got me this stupid glass punch bowl set from Walmart. Should I tell her to get me something real nice or else I will ask her sister to take her place? I wanted something silver or gold from her, like she's supposed to be my best friend.

Honey, she don't love you no more. Keep the bowl and ask her sister to step in. And if she gets you a lousy gift then dump her and get a new brides maid. Take what you can get. It's all about things anyway, isn't it?

It sounds like you think the gift was stupid because it's not expensive enough...not because you don't like the punch bowl. That's pretty selfish and doesn't show a shred of appreciation for what this girl is doing for you. Maybe you've turned bridezilla and forgotten that there are a TON of expenses that come with bieng a Maid of Honor....perhaps she didn't have the left over funds to get you a more expensive gift. I understand about getting ugly/useless gifts. We've received plenty of them....but it should never be "stupid" because you don't like the price tag.
In any case if you don't like the gift and you know it came from Walmart then take it back and get store credit.

Obviously she did not think it was a stupid gift, or she would not have bought it for you. They really do come in handy at the holidays or other parties, so don't be so rude. If she was such a good friend, I can't imagine that you would be so petty as to drop her as your maid of honor, just over a gift. It makes me wonder what type of friend you are. If you really don't like it, check with Walmart. They may be able to do an exchange, even though you don't have a receipt. As far as expecting gold or silver, I think you need to get your expectations back to reality. There are more important things in life than "things."

Yes you are quite right to be upset, a gold bar would have been better, or a couple of ingots of silver.
Look for a maid of Honor with some cash to spare, then you can start looking for a new best friend with some cash, hope you husband to be is loaded? Best check and make sure , no use getting married to a feller with no cash!

Silver or Gold? I think maybe your expectations are wrong. Tradition is for family and friends to get items for the new couples home to help them out. Most items are for the kitchen, decor or items used to entertain at dinners and such. (which is what she got you- a punch bowl- which will come in handy more than once)
Also remember that your bridesmaids and maid of honor have other expenses from your wedding such as dresses, hair, nails, party expenses (if you gals are going out) and lots of time and gas $$$. Getting married isn't cheap for ANYONE involved, be grateful that she is there for you at a time when you need her most.

I can't believe you're concerned about the gift she got you and you're actually considering asking for a different gift or even replacing her after she just threw you a party. Shame on you. How old are you, 16? Really now. Grow up and gracefully accept what your were given. Bring it out and use it at the next party you have that she attends and be grateful you have a friend who took the time and effort to throw you a party at all.
Now write her a very nice thank you note.

Your also supposed to be her best friend, she prob thinks she has got you a good pressent.
So you could just keep it and one day you may use it.
You could be rude and sell it on ebay and hope you never have a party and she asks where it is.
Or you could drop the "i'll use your sister" and tell her nicely thank you but I really wont use wit would you mind changing it, as nice and polite as you can. As after all its the thought that counts.
I have had countless pressents over the years that I have thought omg I thought they knew my taste (like my new fanny pack from arozona :o) dont a leather pouch) But i'm always supprised when I end up using them too.
Hope this works out.
Best wishes

I know everyone has already hammered you but how freaking old are you!?!? Should you really be getting married? You sound EXTREMELY immature! It costs money to be in your wedding and believe it or not but she may not be rich! She may have even thought that that punch bowl will come in handy say at your wedding reception or maybe your future baby shower! My goodness what could she have been thinking to have gotten you something that wasn't covered in silver and gold! You know what I got for my wedding shower....towels, baking pans, iron skillets, bedding, decorations, luggage, silverware. Nothing I got was silver and gold. And you know what I loved every bit of it. I love my pots, pans, towels, skillets, luggage, EVERYTHING...and 6 yrs later I still have most everything I got that day. Oh and gracious me but I do believe most everyone got the stuff on sale. But you know what I love them all because they cared enough about me to show up and spend their money that they could have used for something for themselves!!!!!!!!!!!
You are a majorly selfish person

Can she afford anything else?? One of my good friends got me a gift that probably cost no more than $30 and I absolutely loved it. Do keep in mind that she is your maid of honor, she probably threw your shower, made the arrangements, planned for the food and cake, came up with games and prizes, and PAID FOR IT ALL. Not to mention is going to throw you a bachelorette party (which isn't free), pay for her dress and alterations, pay for her hair and possibly make up and put up with everything on the day before and of your wedding!!!
I need to show my husband your question...he though I was bridezilla!!!!

I think it's really sad that you 'wanted' something 'silver, or gold' from her? a gift is a gift, and if she's 'suppose' to be your best friend, it's the thought that counts? why would you 'want' her sister to take her place? what a selfish friend you seem to be? you should feel ashamed you even wrote this? let alone thought it?

the main undemanding answer on your query is that, no count number how lots you're able to 'prefer' a sprint one bathe ... this isn't any longer something you get to devise or %. this is totally impolite to furnish your self a sprint one bathe. in case you have a chum or non-prompt kin member (or your boyfriend's kin is often in touch right here) who chooses to furnish you a shower, you're able to have one. If no longer ... you will no longer. yet infant showers are no longer for women in common terms. adult males could be invited. (And if/whilst a chum grants to furnish you a shower and asks to your enter on the centred visitor checklist, in case you have some close male friends, you are able to contain them.)
