EMBARASSING
WEDDING GIFT ALERT
Ever given a wedding gift that made you blush? Here’s our
top five:
1. Towels with the wrong
initials—because that calligraphy on the invitation really made the ‘L’
look like an ‘H.’
2. A wine rack—for the couple you
realized doesn’t drink.
3. A gift card for a
delectable fine dining experience—that you realize isn’t offered in their
town.
4. Fuchsia dining accessories, since
you proudly remembered their partner loves fuchsia…oh wait, that was the
ex.
5. A beautiful ornate outdoor
loveseat, perfect for the (oops) apartment-dwelling couple.
You can save your
guests the potential embarrassment by signing up for a honeymoon
