Okay, I'm a little upset, but not heartbroken, but I'm wondering what you would do in this situation.
My male cousin is getting married this year in July. We've been very close and he's almost more like a brother to me than a cousin. He is marrying a woman who's father is very well known in the Sports World and they are having 300 people at their wedding. So naturally I offered the PC Wedding Registry to them. I gently sent them an e-mail from my website using CC, to let them know it was available. I didn't hear anything, but saw them at Thanksgiving. As I was leaving they asked for more information. I didn't want to be pushy and I didn't bring any info with me (I know, my bad), so I told them I would mail it ASAP. Told them how great it was especially since they are having guests from all over the country, it's all online, easy to use and the products are great. I asked her if she was familiar with PC products and she said yes. So I said, "Oh, then you know how great they are!"
So I still haven't heard anything from them and was going to call, but I was talking to my Aunt when she told me that my cousin's fiancee told my cousin (who then told my aunt) that she already has enough kitchen stuff.
I'm kind of upset that they went through my Aunt and didn't respond to me directly. I had also planned to give them any money I made from the registry as a wedding gift. Also, their wedding is in FL and we live in MA, so just attending will cost us over $1000 but I digress.....
Now, I wouldn't mind so much, but they are registered at Pottery Barn for like 10 items.
Okay that's my vent - here's my dilemma. Do I, or don't I give them Pampered Chef as shower AND wedding gifts?
What would you give?
