What is a good wedding gift to buy for under $20.00?
One word: Pyrex. I got a set of small pyrex dishes with plastic lids when I got married lo these 17 years ago and I SITLL USE THEM OFTEN. Still think of the person who got them for me. Find them at Target, Walmart, etc. Also, pyrex baking dish, pie pan, etc. But if that is too practical hit ebay: vintage Christmas decorations, vintage jello mold, NASCAR placemats. Go crazy.
What would be a good present for my boss’s wedding?
If you really want to stand out then do this… it might be a little heavy depending on the relationship you have. But its a good one I picked up from a wedding officiate in Seattle.You can do this before, during or after the ceremony. But make sure the couple are together and you have their attention.Personally present a small symbolic object (your choice) but make sure it is relevant. Something you think your boss would like.Tell the couple that you are certain their marriage will be full of happiness and wonder and congratulate them.Tell them to keep the gift safe and if during their long happy marriage things get tough or complicated one of them should simply take that gift and place it on the others pillow.When things are hard it is often difficult to find the words to put things right.This gift should remind them of their wedding day, the day they celebrated together, the day they gathered together with friends and family, the day they publicly declared their love and commitment to each other. Ultimately it is saying ‘I Love You’ lets get through this together.Now that is a wedding gift to remember.Or… get them a good bottle of wine to celebrate their first year anniversary.Or a toaster. :-)Enjoy the wedding wherever it might be.
Do you buy your bosses son a wedding present?
I am ever the one to say, be nice, you don't know what the future holds. I would get him something nice, but small or a gift card. Just something to recognize the event as he is your bosses son, more for the boss than his son. This is just my opinion. Personally, I would feel better doing a little something than nothing at all. A gift card from a local dept store, Target, Belks where they can buy household stuff or Lowes or Home Depot. Places like Belks, here, have nice glassware that comes pre-boxed but have one on display. Usually for a wedding gift people give more fancy stuff, a glass cake cover set, a chip and dip, a nice set of glasses, may be cheaper than a gift card and I think a gift card you have to put a bigger amt. on it, to keep it from looking cheap; but, if you buy something as I said it may be cheaper for you. A piece of lead crystal, Freds has nice stuff. good luck.
Do I have to go to my boss's wedding?
I think this depends on a lot of things, including how close you are to your boss, how long they've been your boss, and how stable things are in your company (i.e. how long you think you and your boss are going to be there). You also might want to check to see who else has been invited--and this can help you decide whether or not you should go. If you can get a sense of how big a wedding it is, this should tell you too. In general, I don't think it's expected of people to go to their boss's wedding. However, if you're particularly close with your boss, for example, if you've known your boss for a number of years and/or if you and your boss are likely to stay with the company for a long time, it would be a good idea. Also, if your boss didn't invite many people in the company, but invited you, it means you are considered special for some reason, and you should consider going. If you choose to not go to the wedding, make sure you are diplomatic about how you do it. The best way is to find a legitimate excuse--for example, have a trip out of town planned for that day, a family commitment that you can't get out of. But make sure that you're not too specific in how you specify why you can't come. The best way is to just say: "I'm sorry, I have a prior family commitment on that date." or something vague (but true--don't lie) like that. Usually people won't ask any more than that, and it looks suspicious if you give too much information. I've given you a link to a website about etiquette that has a number of excepts about weddings. Some of the material there might be useful to you, just in terms of giving you a frame of reference. The site is mainly about what sorts of stuff NOT to do in terms of inviting people, but it will give you an idea of how people feel and react to such things. Either way, don't worry about it too much. Little things like this make a small difference sometimes, but the day-to-day interactions, how you relate to others in the workplace, matter a lot more in terms of career advancement.
Boss won't give me off from work for my wedding?
I didn't even get a whole day off from the job (he gave me 2 half days off). I was only married on Tuesday and today is Thursday and he's sending me out of town because he says they need extra help in Chicago... I told him I just got married 2 days ago and can't I go next week instead, but he insists that they really need help there. My wife is really upset about it... What is the best way to handle this situation?
My boss wants to throw an office party for my wedding. But I am too embarrassed to admit I’m so unpopular at work that no one will probably show up. How can I decline respectfully without revealing the true reason?
There are a couple of ways:Honestly, we are having a small wedding and I can't afford to invite people from work so I would feel bad about having a party honoring an event you all can't be a part of.I really don't like occasions where I am the center of attention.I love that you are trying to honor me, but since I am kind of a private person, this would make me feel really uncomfortable.I don't want a party as I would hate to have people think they need to get me a gift.Never been much for parties so would it be ok to maybe just get lunch together or something to celebrate?
Is 4 months before the wedding too late to buy a wedding dress?
My fiance & I are getting married October 9, 2010. We just got engaged last month. Because of family issues, we really want to get married as soon as possible. I've been researching and everyone is saying you need like 9 months to get your dress on time. I'm really starting to get worried that I won't be able to get a dress... =(
