    I thought you got people wedding presents to celebrate them getting married, not so they would owe you one (1) reception.

    and i thought that you invited people to the wedding/reception to have a good time and share the occasion with them, not save money by not inviting them to the reception and still expect a present.

    i have known people who do this sort of thing trying to grab presents from people, but they don't want to actually have a celebration with the people they are asking things of at least.

    it seems very mean and petty to invite someone to the wedding, accept a present, and not invite them to the reception.

    I don't see where he said he was expected to buy them a present.

    Then again, I got wedding presents from people I didn't invite to the wedding, so maybe that's why I don't view it as a business transaction of some kind.

    that's why i asked if they still expected him to bring a present. it isn't a business transaction so much as 'hey come to my party i'm gettin hitched!' and you go 'that is awesome! thanks so much for thinking highly enough of me to send me an invite, here's a present to show my mutual regard.'

    Hey guys, what kind of gift should I bring to a baby shower?

    is she registered anyplace? generally you'd give things such as baby clothing, a baby bathtub, diapers, bottles, a baby monitor, general stuff that they will need plenty of while raising a baby.

    it is best to try not to get doubles of some things though, like bathtubs and baby monitors, so maybe just put together a giftbox with some bottles, diapers, and an outfit or two.

    How about wine, for the kid or something? Despite how useful diapers are I would feel a little funny presenting them as a gift.

    only give diapers in a gift-basket/box situation, though it might be more of a woman to woman thing. all the baby showers i have been to have not had guys there, will you be the only guy?

    also, if you're uncomfortable, just ask the woman what she'd like from you as a present.

    Bottles and outfits seem like they would be the most "needed" things, from what I've experienced with family having babies.

    Bottles aren't necessarily the "cute" things a lot of people want to get, but they'll probably be one of the more useful things. And babies always need a shitload of outfits, dude to them leaking from every hole on their bodies all the time.

    See if you can find a tiny top hat if it is a boy. I feel like more babies need to wear top hats.

    I will have to ask her, if it is a boy I think that is a pretty good suggestion. A baby top hat is something you would keep, a lot of character in it. I don't want to give something that would be sold at a garage sale or simply thrown away.

    ugh, i hate when you're trying to enjoy a film/whatever, and other people show up and start watching, but do nothing but bitch about it. it is really difficult to get into a movie when someone is a few feet away, sighing and going 'this is dumb and boring, what the hell is she wearing, that hat is dumb. that lady is stupid why is she talkingto that guy for so long, why is she so old and ugly. uuugh let's watch someone elseeee.'

    hello, i am trying to enjoy this film, yes, it is foreign with subtitles, yes i can read them fast enough AND watch the video to know what is going on, no, i don't care that you are bored, fuck off. (that particular situation happened while i was watching pan's labyrinth)

    my little brother's friends (~16yo) are constantly in the only room with a tv, so even if i grab it first before they get home, it isn't long before they show up and settle in even though it is obvious i am watching something they will find boring. Four Minutes just recently, but also pretty much anything i might watch that doesn't have tits, explosions or high action packed tension.

    yeah i rather enjoyed it, i streamed it through my ps3 which is pretty awesome. the fight scenes are choreographed really well, and they are looong. it does start a bit slow though, and i wasn't all that fond of the "story", but who really watches these sorts of films for the story?
