Renjis-renjis dipilis
Ditepungi lah tawar
Hai beras kunyit ditabur
Disiram si air mawar...lalala
Yeah who could forget that song especially at this time of the year huh? Wedding invitations either sent by snail mail or phone calls are pouring in like spilt milk. And since facebook is the fad these days, it is quite common to receive invitations through them as well. All you need to do is just tick at the right box given under the EVENT page and walla you had just confirmed your attendance.
When someone sent you a wedding invitation there's always that nag feeling of wanting to find the right gift much more if you knew the bride/or bridegroom really well. And you don't want to give the same thing what others might give. Takkan balik-balik nak bagi blender or toaster or tea set or worst picture frame kan? LOL. That is sooo effortless. Just so you know we have given same item twice to two different newlyweds and its a blender (ngeh ngeh) brand Pensonic and some more very cheap less than RM50 per item...good deal kan? Of course lah its a good deal especially when you have only hundred bucks in your purse and masa tu belum gaji lagi hehe!
Now that we're getting wiser and also lazier each year we think that by giving gift in the form of monetary is the most sensible and acceptable thing. Senang gitu masuk dalam sampul terus bagi kat mak atau ayah pengantin. Tak payah pening kepala masuk shopping mall keluar shopping mall carik hadiah yang sesuai kan?
However there is another ingenious way of finding perfect wedding presents without ever forking out money. Try re-gift! What's that? It means to recycle your unused wedding gift yang berzaman tok kaduk duk ataih lemari atau bawah katil tu and re-package or re-wrap macam brand new. Isn't that a little bit unethical you might ask? The thing is who really cares about ethics. Disposing your unwanted gift by re-gifting it to a deserving person is the most righteous thing to do at least to me. You probably haven't heard the phrase Want-Not-Waste-Not eh? Nowadays being prudent is a lifestyle not a cheapskate. I repeat not a cheapskate.
Err just don't forget to remove the greeting card (if its still inside) or else go figure! :P
