Question for the married ladies regarding gifts

On the day of your wedding, how many people gave you actual wrapped gifts? Is a gift table necessary?

Were the gifts bought off your registry??

i hope i get no gifts. there is nothing left on my registry so im hoping for $$$$$$$$$$


am i reallly bad?

None. I didn't even have a gift table. Just the card box on a pedestal, but everyone at mine was from the tri-state area....and the ones that don't currently live here were from here. It's really going to depend on your guests though. If you have alot of non-new yorkers who you know are not used or comfortable giving cash at wedding,you may get more 'gifts', so I would set up a table for that.....only you know your guests really.....

hmmm I don't know...maybe people will still order off the registry but just have it sent? We've already gotten 2 wedding gifts off our registry that were ordered and mailed....do you have a lot of guests who would bring actual gifts?
