On the heels of the split of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humpheries, etiquette of what to do with the thousands and thousands of dollars worth of wedding loot they received on their wedding day comes into question. The official ruling by wedding etiquette experts including, Lizzie Post, the presents must be returned to all guests with a small hand written note, preferably a heartfelt one. The responsibility does not only fall on the bride but on the groom as well. She should return the gifts from her guests and he should do the same for his side as well. If the bride is too distraught to take on the task herself then she should enlist the help of her bridesmaids and family. Each note should be on a personal level, after all these people took the time to look up the registry and either pick up or order the gift, the least the couple can do is write a little something to them. In the case of monogramed gifts those should not be returned but a note should still be written. In the case of the most expensive gift of all, the 20 karat (reportedly worth over 2 million) engagement ring, the experts also agree it is Kim's to do with what she wants. Personally if it were me I would try to do the right thing and sell the rock and split the proceeds with the groom or sell it and donate the money to charity. Who knows what Kim will do with the ring, after all her poor husband had to find out about the divorce from the same place most of America did, from the media. It is a very sad situation, one I don't think either really planned for but unfortunately happened. Who knows in 20 years they may both look back on this and think how lucky they were to end it before they had kids or before it got ugly. Hopefully they will be able to remain friends and there won't be any mud slinging or name calling.
Best to both Kim and Kris in their lives and future love.
Till next blog,
