Thank You Cards
Jennifer, on October 15, 2021 at 2:08 AM

I know you're supposed to send a "Thank You" card within 2 weeks of receiving a gift and no later than 3 months after the wedding. When receiving a gift, it's straight forward what to say, but when...

Plastic, paper or ceramic plates
Ana, on October 15, 2021 at 9:51 AM

Cheapness as a wedding guest
Amanda, on October 14, 2021 at 4:43 PM
