What is an appropriate amount to spend on a wedding gift?

Go for it. If someone buys her the same gift, she can easily return it for credit at the store she is registered at.

Yikes. First, if she's not getting married until next year, why is all this happening now and why is she talking about wanting to know what she gets "ahead of time"? I know this isn't what you asked, but my jaw dropped reading that.

There's no reason for the registry to even be set up at this point, let alone telling others where she's registered. Someone may have to chat with her about not sounding greedy, and especially not having an expectation that she's going to rake it in. On your question, some registries have a "delete item" option where someone doing what you are can just delete it and the bride would know they got it elsewhere.

If not, you basically have 3 options: 1. Get it anyway. Worst case scenario, she has to return the one from WS and she'll get a gift card.

2. Tell her you're getting it for her and ask her to remove it from the registry. 3.

Get something else. But honestly, I wouldn't even be worried about it until a few weeks before the wedding, regardless of whatever she's trying to accomplish by getting them early.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
