I think we all know that you aren't "expecting" gifts, but we will probably all give something because we want to. So from one of those guests on your side of the family.....don't worry about it.Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:52:09 -0500Guestcomment 4444 at https://www.firstwivesworld.comnope

No, we didn't put the registry info on the actual invitation, but did put it on our website at the Knot.

<p>Well, the invitations went out for the wedding. I wanted a small
wedding of 75 guests or so, but 300 people were invited to the big
day. The RSVPs are arriving and there are way more people coming than
we ever thought since, we are hosting a destination wedding.</p><p>This is my fiancé's first wedding and my second. My guest
list was a lot smaller than his, but many of those invited attended
my first wedding. That means they bought me a gift.</p>
<p>Etiquette says that these guests are not required to bring another
gift to my second wedding. I looked it up on the "official"
wedding dos and don'ts on The Knot, a Web site my fiancé
knew about and I didn't. I know, I'm a bad bride.</p>
<p>Anyway, I am not sure how to bring this up to my friends and
family. I talked to my mom and she said people will want to give us
something because they like my fiancé so much. Which is all
well and good, but I feel sorta like a mooch. </p><p>Am I supposed to send out a little email notification before the
wedding to my peeps or post a short message on our registry? I am
hoping that word gets out and folks don't feel obligated to bring a
gift.</p>https://www.firstwivesworld.com/community/vibrant-voices/vicky-emerson/no-gifts-please#commentsMind and SpiritLeisure and FunMoving Beyond DivorceSat, 23 Feb 2008 17:00:00 -0500Vicky Emerson5580 at https://www.firstwivesworld.com
