thank god! I felt like MOST of you were having them...this thread made me feel a lil better. We're not doing E-pics either. I just feel like doing all these things are added expenses. maybe if my parents were paying for my wedding i'd be gung ho about all of it....but being that FH and I are footing the bill for entire wedding (although i know his mom will help whenever needed) I just see everything in dollar signs.
Although i must say even tho we didn't have an e-party we got about $1,400 in checks and cash and another $1500 in gifts from the reg and they are saying that they are engagement gifts not wedding gifts so...we still got lucky
i didnt want one b.c i thought i twas going to be too hectic with who to invite b/c i have a huge wedding party but my parents wanted to through one for us anyway. I just hag mine and my FH's family up to first cousins for a dinner party!

I had one, but thats b/c I'm just super special.
I didn't either, it's just another thing I'd have to plan and didn't want be bothered with it.
we are just having a dinner at a restuarant but it is still 100ppl because we have big italian families...lol
I didn't have a e-partyeither and really had no desire to have one. My Dad really wanted us to have one, but e said no thanks. We will probably have a nice informal dinner since FH family is from OOT, but nothing more than that.
We weren't interested in one since we are renovating a home right now and are really busy. We are going to have a housewarming party when our house is done and we figure that'll be before our wedding and can double up as a get-together, possibly in celebration of an upcoming wedding. Anything bigger isn't our thing.
we didn't have one. didn't really see the point.
