Vacuum Cleaners and Your Wedding
Is it ok to ask for a new vacuum cleaner for a wedding gift? I see no problem in it but you better ask Ms Manners. LOL.
One bride to be asked: (source)
Also, is it OK to put a moderately priced vacuum cleaner on there (eg. $500)? Of course we would not expect anyone to buy it but just in case a few people want to put their money together and get it? In my area, $500 for a vacuum clean is moderate, top of the range here would be $1000 but I think that is crazy. I was not sure what is acceptable and what is not so please help, I don’t want any family to think badly of us if we do it wrong. The vacuum cleaner would probably be the only really expensive thing on the list.
The answer she got? “..And a vacuum isn’t a bad gift to ask for..”
A vacuum is a great idea to ask for when getting married. You want to keep your new home clean! If someone does not want to purchase a new vacuum outright, maybe ask for a gift certificate to put towards a new vacuum.
What is the best vacuum to get as a wedding gift?
One article said: “Meet the Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner. Like the Robomow automatic lawnmower, this is a gift that will do your chores for you — specifically, your vacuuming.”
We will be discussing robotic vacuum cleaners in a future blog post.
Finally what to write in your wedding gift thank you cards?
If you do get a vacuum cleaner, simply thank them for what you got and how you will be using it in the future, i.e. “Thank you for the incredibly useful dust buster/vacuum cleaner. Now that all the dust has settled from our exciting wedding and honeymoon, I have the perfect gift to clean it up with. Thanks again.”
