The point of the party is to celebrate the engagement, just like a birthday party is to celebrate someone's birth ..and how do you celebrate? With gifts!

This is such a gross and tacky opinion to me. We have become such a gift grubbing society and that, to me, takes away celebrating the event and makes it all about HOW MUCH CAN I GET LOLOLOLZ.
I am tempted to do a no gift wedding just so we can focus on the wedding and not me doing huge gift grabs to milk my friends as much as possible.
