Maybe she doesn't want 2 in the van., I think that it's a gift and not about the gift giver's desires...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020489254253565556.post-83042473130070928532010-07-28T20:08:42.050-04:002010-07-28T20:08:42.050-04:00hmmm... give it to her mom and have her keep it.

Yes, I would be a bit offended if I was asked to mail something carefully crafted with love and care for the bride and groom across the country! <br /><br />Aside from the fact that it'll likely not to be cheap to mail something heavy, it just feels... rude. Like a slap in the face, basically, and I agree with Jennifer above -- like you don't appreciate the time it took to craft it. I would have just taken the quilt, said a gracious thank you and figured out what to do with it later... if I <i>truly</i> couldn't pack it in a truck (seriously, no room for <i>one</i> quilt?), I'd have mailed it myself -- at my own expense.Meg @ write meg!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15837479897570974834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020489254253565556.post-16173901931145241432010-07-28T14:19:01.863-04:002010-07-28T14:19:01.863-04:00As someone older and from the UK which is a small ...As someone older and from the UK which is a small country by comparison I would tell you mum to hang on to the quilt or give it to the brides mum and ask her to take it when visiting or just keep it until the 'happy' if insensitive couple come home to visit. On no account would I post the quilt to her.... but then again thats just me. I wish someone would have made me a quilt when I got married over 100 years ago.... I would have moved every box in the car to make room...<br />Beverley (UK)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06177794795068662601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020489254253565556.post-82883098757537048262010-07-28T14:12:24.715-04:002010-07-28T14:12:24.715-04:00Hummmmm...that is a toughie.

I know she didn't mean anything by it, but it makes the giver feel like you don't appreciate the time, energy, and thought that went into the gift. I guess I would just mail it and be done with it and let it go, but I think the Bride should have just said thank you and made room for it. I mean, there must be some room for a 1 inch thick quilt?!?! I would not feel comfortable with mailing it...I would get insurance and all that stuff...but then even if it got lost, it wouldn't replace it and that is costing your mom even more money in the end. And making a quilt with nice fabrics is not cheap in the first place. I think the Bride reacted wrong and should have taken it. Sorry for your mom having to take her chances with the mail. You should snap a picture before she mails it if you can!!! I want to see her handiwork!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00123779237747469831noreply@blogger.com
