Our First Wedding Gift!

Our First Wedding Gift!

There’s nothing like walking back from the gym and running into the FedEx driver (who might as well be on a first name basis with the amount of stuff ordered for this wedding) who asks us if we would like a wedding gift.

I was a little surprised but figured that the large heavy box from Bed, Bath & Beyond was a giveaway. Lucky for her, Mr. E saved her from climbing the stairs to our apartment with the heavy box. Of course, I had to document this milestone!

Is the box heavy or are your arms tired from lifting weights?

Look at that speed, I think he was more excited than I was!

Four pretty wrapped packages

Yay! It’s four of our casual china dining place settings!

Now the only problem will be where to store these gifts with the DIY projects taking over the guest room.

Oh, and in related news, if you have a friend that is getting married and going to register at BB&B, have them list you as their referral. Thanks to BM Philly we got a $25 certificate (for use on a $50 purchase) in the mail! Remember the bedding we originally registered for?

Well that was last summer and it is now no longer available (sad face). Mama E and I happen to be searching BB&B and found the comforter set in the clearance section. Reduced price and an extra $25 off? Score!! I have now been to 3 or 4 other stores collecting the decorative pillows (originally $39.99 per pillow down to $4.99, plus 20% off coupons, heck yeah!!).

Were you excited to receive your first wedding gift? What was it?

We haven’t gotten our first gift yet, but I happened to be on my BB&B registry and saw that someone purchased our silverware! I have no idea who, or when we’ll get it, but it was pretty exciting!

We registered for those dishes, too!!! Only through Macy’s though…. (shh, don’t tell BB&B!). I’ve noticed a little “fulfilled” note next to them, but have yet to recieve them.
Congrats on your first gift!

We started stacking up the gifts in the craft room which got VERY overwhelming, very fast! My suggestion (now that I’ve gone through the wedding) is write your thank you notes THE DAY you get a gift. When you are done with the wedding, and back from the honeymoon, writing the thank you notes will be the LAST thing you will want to do! Get as much done now as you can!!!

Those are awesome picks of Mr. Elephant! Too funny. And nice find on the $4.99 pillows. Impressive.

Good tip on writing a thank you note the same day you get a gift! We just registered at BB&B this past weekend and C&B the weekend before, now we are in the process of editing and adding just a few more items. So exciting!
