Stuff we purchased for wedding?

We bought the flower girl%26#039;s dress and shoes etc, headpiece.





We also bought the ringbearer pillow and the basket (amongst a bunch of other things but anyways)





I know the flower girl took off with the basket, i have the ringbearer pillow.





Is it rude to ask for the basket back? I kind of wanted to keep that. :)

Stuff we purchased for wedding?
Yes it%26#039;s rude. Let the little girl keep the basket
Reply:If its really memorable for you to keep it, you can purchase a similar one, add a few little gifts to it that she would like, have it personalized with a little hanging tile, (see a longaberger consultant) and offer to swap with her. Tell her you wanted her to have a special basket and you would like to have that one for your new home because it reminds you of her!
Reply:I know you want to keep it for sentimental reasons, but it is customary for the flower girl to keep her basket. I know it is not the same, but perhaps you can buy another one (exact or similar), and make arrangements with the parents to exchange it--so that you could keep the one that was used at the wedding......
Reply:If you want it back, ask the mother for it back. You can replace the little girls basket with another one. I understand you wanting to keep it. I kept the vase my bouquet was in during transport, as well as the feather from the dove that came off when I was petting it (right before the dove release at the end of our ceremony)





Welcome back! :)





Congratulation to C and J on their marriage! :)
Reply:I would just let the flower girl keep it, even if it did cost a good amount of money...just to show you are not %26#039;mean-spirited%26#039; like somebody mentioned. I like how other people said you can buy a replacement, it would make more sense that way since you want to keep it for sentimental purposes, I%26#039;m guessing.
Reply:Did you pay a lot of money for it? What will you do with a flower girl basket? If you wanted to resell it along with the ring bearer pillow (as a set)....well, then ask for it back. Usually these things are tossed or given to someone else.





I would have no use for a flower girl basket....but if you do...then call her mom and ask for it back.
Reply:Personally, I wouldn%26#039;t care one way or another. Besides, what are you going to do with the basket? Probably put it in a closet or storage and forget about it? Unless it was some heirloom worth hundreds of dollars, I wouldn%26#039;t worry about it. Plus, if you were just going to try to sell it what does it matter?
Reply:For christ sake, how cheap and petty is that???





Let the flower girl have the stupid $5 dollar basket. It will be collecting dust in your garage and end up in the trash or a yard sale anyway.





Stop being such a cheapo.





Terrible!
Reply:I still have a basket from when I was a flower girl. Since you paid for it, though, you are not out of line at all to ask for it back.
Reply:You don%26#039;t get the basket back the flower girl is suppost to keep it just like the ring bearer suppost to keep the pillow. Thats why you have pictures to remember.I wouldnt sweat it just let it be.
Reply:I would say that it traditional for the flower girl to keep the basket! Asking for it back would appear very mean spirited.
Reply:Yikes! Yes it is rude to ask for it back. You wouldn%26#039;t ask for the dress or shoes back would you?





If you did have the basket, what would you do with it anyway?
Reply:Sheesh! The flower girl gets to keep the basket - whatever it cost! It%26#039;s just part of the wedding expenses.


Oh, since the mom doesn%26#039;t have it - try to track it down and give it to that flower girl!
Reply:yes thats rude





if you wanted to keep it, you should hvae grabbed right after the ceremony, and put it in a safe place.





its too late. sorry
Reply:Did you take all the bridesmaids bouquets back too? That%26#039;s the flowergirl equivalent. She is supposed to be able to keep that.
Reply:Yes, it%26#039;s rude. Besides, it%26#039;s such a lovely keepsake for the flower girl to have.
Reply:COME ON, just let the poor little girl have it. IT%26#039;s like snatching a toy from a kid. Just get another one, dont be such a brat about this small thing.
Reply:Yeah it kinda is - when I was a flower girl I loved that keepsake - still at my parent%26#039;s house in fact!
Reply:A little. What are you going to do with a flower girl basket anyway?
Reply:no, not at all
Reply:Wow some people are rude today!


Honey I would just say let her have it, you will look better that way, plus it%26#039;s kind of like a thank you gift for her being apart of your day but also I don%26#039;t think it%26#039;s really wrong to ask for the basket back either since you bought it.


But then again you don%26#039;t know where it is, so start ringing around to see who has it. But do it casually, not like %26#039;where%26#039;s my flower girl basket!?!%26#039;.


People just get a bit crazy when it comes to weddings, they want to keep every little memento and reminder they can get their hands on which is at your expense!


Just start talking to people and see what happened to the stuff and get it back if you need it. I%26#039;m sure it will all turn up at a relative%26#039;s place.


Whatever you decide just don%26#039;t stress too much, you are married now, that is better than some basket :)


Good luck! xx
