Our shower’s in MA, and we currently have a one-way ticket purchased, with a the plan to drive back to NC. But an SUV/minivan runs about $1700 (including rental during the weekend up there). A moving van just for the trip alone is $900. Any advice?? Is there a cheaper way? Use the ticket elsewhere and drive both legs?
Thanks for the responses so far. first, we are very thankful for ANY gifts. our friends and family are beyond generous, too much in fact and we are an amazed and thankful couple. We didn’t foresee this issue though being first timers : ) and I don’t think my fiance’s mom did either. With the large wedding (to us anyway), many people DID foresee this and mailed gifts, and I didn’t know if it was tactful or not to ‘request’ how and where we want gifts. Still from the registry purchases, there will be quite a few things we will need to get back south, and I’m wondering how others have handled this in the past. It seems we should buy our return leg of the flight, and ship this stuff later. the wedding is also up in MA…we moved south after the engagement and everything was on deposit, creating our own little destination wedding wrinkle!!
