Returning a wedding gift - guilt?

That's an idea! Maybe there is something at swavorski we could use or would put out that we could exchange it for (I've never ever been in there, I have no idea hah!)

Display them somewhere in your home for a few days, write a thank you note and say that they are so beautiful, and you appreciate the care that he put into selecting them, and that way if by chance he asks - which no one should - "Where did you put them?" you can honestly say "On the bedroom dresser", or whatever. And that will not be a lie - you just omit the fact that you returned them a week later. You can even take a photo of them sitting there if you want, and like you say - accidents happen, right?

The gift receipt means you can return or exchange it. It does not mean theyre going to give your money back to go buy registry stuff elsewhere. We do gift receipts all the time for people...of course you can return or exchange it...but by return or exchange we mean return for store credit or exchange for something else in the store. Unless you are the purchaser, then we will put it back on your card. Im being a debbie downer...but i HIGHLY doubt they will return it for cash money.

Hey how about some nice crystal jewelry? could go great with your wedding look. had I given the gift, I would be much more thrilled if you used it to get jewelry that you wore for something special!
