dinnerware sets for less image

The couple is 35 and gainfully employed. It's a nice reception at a country club. Please don't answer "It's the thought that counts." Does it relate to the cost to the family throwing the wedding?
Answer
The thought actually does count a great deal: and giving cash fails to show much thought about what would please the couple, or about how they might benefit from your taste and insight. It also suggests the thought that the couple is in need of charity, and could therefore be offensive if they are people of refinement. So, please take the time to choose an appropriate gift that reflects your regard for your friend.
Appropriate gifts of fine crystal, silver or dinnerware, to match the pattern chosen by or inherited by the bride, are traditional gifts; as are good-quality household linens (towels, sheets and tablecloths). A comfortably-off person who is modestly intimate with the couple would normally give a place setting, or two goblets, or a single piece of silver -- a value of 100 to 200 dollars. Someone who is less financially secure or less intimate might give a single dinner-plate or sherry-glass: around 50 dollars. A casual friend or unemployed person might give a bread-and-butter plate: around $20. A close family friend who is well-to-do might give a serving bowl or tureen, a half-dozen glasses, or 400-count egyptian-cotton bedsheets (upwards of $300).
I hope that helps.

Did us "loony lefties" savage Laura Bush in the same degree that the conservatives are goin after Michelle?

I know there were some kooks out there who would say stuff about Laura Bush. There's no doubt that you could dig up a link or two from back in the day.
But calling Michelle fat, a gorilla, a sasquatch? Booing her at public appearances?
That shiz is uncalled for. Why not just leave family out of it?
Answer
Let's just take a SAMPLING of what showed up on Y!A ALONE regarding Mrs. Bush.... from 2 years ago...
Imus on his tv show called Laura Bush a Moron
Why did Laura Bush not take responsibility when she ran a stop sign and killed a guy?
Has Laura Bush been carefully putting together a positive spin on her husband's legacy?
She is a stepford wife.
vomit
How long will Laura Bush's $485K china set last in the White House?
How Many People Know that Laura Bush Killed her first boyfriend?
Rumors that The President and Laura Bush have split?
Does anyone remember when Laura Bush was arrested in France for shoplifting?
Fake
Why does Laura Bush still smoke a pack a day in private. Best kept secret in Washington. Did you know she smokes.
How many bullet proof vests could Laura Bush have bought for the $485,000 she spent on china/dinnerware?
Is Laura Bush planning to instruct the servants to leave all White House toilet seats up,
Laura Bush reprimanded the Burmese Media's lack of Cyclone Alertness. Why so quiet about Katrina alerts here?
Laura Bush IS A MURDER SHE KILLED HER BOYFRIEND!
How much will plastic surgery cost to remove the phony smile from Laura Bush's face?
care to join her in her crusade in being a decent human being?
stupid ho
because she is a christian..... and god told her and george that its ok to kill people..
.... as I said, that is just a SAMPLING of the comments posted on Y!A alone from you "loony lefties." I didn't even scan through the other 1100+ questions (much less their answers!) that I searched on.
As for Michelle, such comments and booing is unfortunate, but when you make comments like she has, she has to expect such reactions. Did Laura Bush ever say she was not proud to be American?
âPOLITICAL CORRECTNESS is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the CLEAN END.â --- Former US Senator from Wyoming, Alan K. Simpson
Republican since before she was born⦠and PROUD of it.
