There are many reasons wedding gifts should die, but one rises above all else.
Perhaps there is no way for me to say this without sounding like a jerk and also shooting myself directly in the foot , but I can’t help myself: Wedding presents are an absurd tradition that have lived years—decades?—past their purpose. It is time for them to stop.in Slate.
Eminently reasonable points. But I have a more practical complaint. I am in my 30s, and I have been to a lot of weddings in the past couple of years. With the exception of one cousin who got married in the city I live in, I had to travel, often by plane, and rent a hotel room to attend all of them. Some of them involved renting clothes. One of them involved renting an entire camper van for a week.
I’ve been living with my partner for four years now. The start of it did entail a somewhat frantic trip to Ikea after we realized neither of us had silverware to contribute to our new joint household. But now we have it! We’ve even downsized from a house into an apartment. We’re increasingly finding ourselves approaching a one-in, one-out policy for home goods.
