Appreciation post: the return table at my cousin's wedding in Boise taught me more about bad gifts than any store
Watched 43 people quietly swap their favors at a folding table near the cake, and the wind chimes and monogrammed coasters outnumbered everything else, so what's the worst favor you've ever pretended to love in front of the giver?
Man, 43 swaps is a lot but I gotta push back on one thing. Folding table near the cake? That wasn't a return table, that was just the favor table. Couples put the favors out on a table and people grab one on the way out. What you saw was folks picking through the pile and leaving the junk behind. Same result, different story. Wind chimes and coasters always get ditched because nobody wants to haul that stuff home. The real return table shows up weeks later, in the mail, when your aunt sends back the monogrammed thing you spent 80 bucks on.
