to gift or not to gift

...that is the question.

here's the deal, we can't believe all the people that are making the effort to be at our wedding. the time, money, travel arrangements, sitters, time off, etc...so really we already feel like your gift to us is making the effort to be with us on our wedding day.

despite us saying this numerous times, there are still a few people who want to contribute a gift. we in no way expect gifts...but are grateful and overwhelmed at the love and support our friends and family want to give.

here's what we did...we set up a honeymoon registry fund. we have plans to travel in brazil for 2 weeks after the wedding and thought it could be fun for those wanting to give gifts to contribute to this adventure.

if interested you can visit our honeymoon registry here or here, http://www.honeyfund.com/wedding/grantandrachel.

if you aren't interested in the honeymoon fund, make it easy on yourself.....gift cards. I know this seems like a thoughtless way out, but believe me when I say grant and I will NOT feel this way. although we didn't register for specific tangible items (except for the 20 chocolate stuffed churros we will be eating in brazil), you may still want your gift to fit in a box....get us whatever you want. we expect nothing and will be thrilled with everything. we really just feel like the best gift will be seeing as many of you as we can on march 7th.

does this help? feel free to ask questions if needed.

love,
rachel and grant
