Q. Me and the other half have lived together for a couple of years and we already have everything that we need. We are also emigrating to Australia a year or so after the wedding so that would mean taking all our gifts with us when we emigrate! We have booked a dream honeymoon in the Carribean. We were thinking of registering for a honeymoon gifting service and put something in the invitations about this. Do you think this is inappropriate and rude under our circumstances?
A. Hi. my husband and I attended a wedding earlier this year where the couple were in a similar situation to you. They have already emigrated to Australia before the wedding and were only back in the uk for the ceremony and to see family. Inside their invite they included a small card that said this:
We appreciate that many people are travelling long distances to share in our day. Please don't feel obligated to buy us a gift. However, we have been asked by lots of people what we would like. We have been together for 10 years now and have everything a home could ned, and as we live in Australia, we're limited by what we can take back with us. If you were thinking of giving a gift, a gift of money towards our honeymoon would really make our day as we are spending nearly 3 weeks in Asia, staying in Thailand and Malaysia. Nevertheless, if you would prefer to purchase a gift, please feel free to surprise us in your own way.
A lot of people will tell you that it's rude to ask for money, but the people who you're inviting to your wedding are friends and family and if you can't be honest with them then who can you be honest with? I'm sure that at the end of the day, the majority of people will be happy they've given you something you actually want rather than another toaster of set of wine glasses that'll only sit around gathering dust.
Of course, there will, more that likely, be a few people attending your wedding, who think that it's rude of you to ask and they may grumble about it a bit, but you can't please all of the people all of the time and essentially, as your wedding is your day, I don't think it's unreasonable to concentrate on your own happiness rather than their dis-contention, in this instance.

A. Many airlines have excellent in flight entertainment these days, some with A/V on demand (AVOD). If your niece's airline has personal IFE, they offer many kid's movies, cartoons, games, audio, tv shows, etc.. Also, many airlines, especially the Asian airlines will give kids a nice gift pack which includes coloring books, toys and small games to play with during the flight. Otherwise, Gameboys, PSP's and other small handheld electronic gaming devices are good if she likes those types of things.
