More than 2,000 traditions exist for American weddings, and new ones keep getting added. The more fancy the wedding, the more elaborate and expensive the traditions. In its barest forms, there are two major wedding gifts with beating hearts. Two people give themselves to each other. Add rings, that will be four. I think beyond that it is a matter between two people. Ask a wedding consultant and you might find that the American tradition is to exchange gifts.

At the very least, if you do not go to a particular bride's shower and bachelorette, you at least send a gift to the wedding.

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 11:18:44 +0000 http://thegorgeousbride.com/?p=88#comment-389 etiquette says that: Thus the FAMILY OF THE BRIDE is traditionally expected to cover the cost of the bride’s dress, the flowers and bouquets, the reception, the stationary, the caterers, the photographer, the videographer (if one is to be hired), the Wedding cake, Bridal Favours and the wine and Champagne. The cost of the bridesmaid(s) dresses is usually paid for by the bride’s family, as will any extras at the reception like the entertainment. Hire of suits, dinner-jackets, ties and gloves may be covered by the groom, but sometimes the best man and the ushers might make a contribution for their own hired apparel. here in case you do not know what etiquette is? today, traditions have changed; etiquette says that:

]]> Comment on Why do brides and grooms feel entitled to choose all of their gifts on gift registries? by Peace http://thegorgeousbride.com/?p=78#comment-341 Peace Mon, 17 Aug 2009 20:43:31 +0000 http://thegorgeousbride.com/?p=78#comment-341 I'm so sick of hearing people complain about registries. You do not have to buy anything off of a registry! It's that simple. Registries are a way to give people suggestions if they have no idea what to get the couple. It's simply being helpful to people who want to buy you something you WANT. I have bought something for couples using their registry and I've bought things not on their registry. There is not one couple out there who can possibly chose all their wedding gifts. People will give what they what to give and no one in their right mind should ever feel pressured to buy off a registry. I’m so sick of hearing people complain about registries.

Plan your wedding as if you had to pay for it yourselves. If parents or family come forward with additional help, then you can upgrade a few things.
