Re: What do you Consider a "Token Gift?"

I would definitely resent having to buy any gift for a do-over wedding.  I get irritated when I get an invitation to a first time wedding when the couple have lived together and set up a household already for years and register for expensive crystal and silver and such because they have everything else.    I don't own those things now after 47 years of marriage.  They are luxuries.  The original idea of shower and wedding gifts was to give the couple some of what they would need when starting from scratch setting up a household.

Re: What do you Consider a "Token Gift?"

To me a token gift is "I want to get a little something because I would feel weird not getting anything at all".  It would depend on the occasion as to what that might be.  I don't think a token gift is necessarily something generic and impersonal; it just doesn't cost all that much.

I don't think they should expect any gifts .

She divorced him and now is re-marrying him?

Or is this a renewal of vows?

 

For the first, a marriage manual.

 

For the second, some type of keepsake gift like a marriage or relationship quote in a nice frame, possibly personalized.


 

Even renewing your vows one shouldn't get gifts IMO... tacky.

Same with remarrying the same person, after divorcing them...tacky.

 

NO  gifts!
