Let's be honest, one of the best parts about getting married is all the "good luck in life" presents that you receive to begin your life as newlyweds.
Weddings can get expensive for the couple getting married, as well as for the wedding party, and sometimes even for the guests attending. Especially when you consider all the events leading up to a wedding. Bridal showers, bachelorette parties, hotels, wardrobe, and wedding presents can all add up fairly quickly.
There Are Multiple Ways For Couples To Approach Wedding Gifts
Traditionally, newlywed couples were gifted the essentials to get them started. Things like small appliances, china sets, utensils, wine glasses, and decor were common gifts because young couples hadn't lived together prior to marriage.
More recently, couples have opted to request specific presents like cash or a gift from a curated registry.
A Wedding Registry Is A Carefully Selected List Of Acceptable Or Preferred Gifts
Decades of returned and duplicate wedding presents have led couples who are tying the knot to consider creating a registry.
A wedding registry is a curated list of items from specific stores that are hand-selected by the engaged couple. The list is provided to all the guests attending the wedding.
Wedding Guests Were Shocked When They Saw Her Registry
A wedding registry is usually filled with plenty of options for items that range in price from low to high.
One bride managed to shock her wedding invitees with her extremely expensive wedding registry. She shared the outlandish request in a Facebook post that someone saved and shared to Reddit.
The Bride's Lavish Tastes Did Not Match Everyone Else's Budgets
Her luxurious list included designer clothing and handbags, new flooring for her home, gift cards, cash, and even a new car.
Her list was filled with presents that mainly benefited the bride. If this wasn't enough, the major catch was her very specific price tag.
She Told Her Guests They Had To Spend AT LEAST $400 On Wedding Presents
In the original screengrab of the Facebook post (that blocks out the bride's name), the bride very specifically states her minimum gift requirements ring in at the $400 price tag.
She takes it one step further by adding "I'll accept slightly lower amounts [than $400] as long as you tell me first."
She Wanted Gucci And Louis Vuitton Purses, Or Any Clothing Over $400 From Designer Brands
This bride knew what she wanted and was not shy when asking for it. She said she wanted "any clothes OVER $400 from Calvin Klein, Moschino, or Nora's."
Aside from the designer bags and clothing, she also listed "any Korean or Asian beauty products totaling more than $400." Somehow none of these things seem like they'll be useful for her husband.
She Also Asked For $400 Giftcards Or Cash Presents
Nothing says I don't trust your judgment like asking for plain old gift cards. It definitely takes the sentiment out of buying a present - if there was ever any involved for this bride.
She listed her preference for gift cards to some of her favorite luxury stores including Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales, Gucci, Nordstroms, and Calvin Klein.
Nothing Says Congratulations Like A New Car?
If this woman has one thing, it's the audacity. She asks for a new car on her wedding registry, or anything related to the car.
That includes "new trim or anything in relation to the car."
She Asked For High-Class Paintings And Interior Decor
Fairly straightforward, she wrote that she wanted "any HIGH CLASS paintings or decorations."
Again she was very clear that if guests choose to purchase these items, they should cost no less than $400.
People Online Were Not On Team Bride
Commenters on the post made it obvious that they thought this bride's standards were outrageous and fairly tone-deaf.
Her wedding registry demands were not received well and likely caused guests to consider (like this commenter) skipping the wedding altogether. What do you think of these demands?
