Miss Manners: We would rather guests bring old photos than gifts

Miss Manners addresses the anxiety modern wedding guests experience regarding gift-giving. In various scenarios, the couple expresses a preference for receiving old photos to build a wedding scrapbook rather than traditional gifts. Despite these preferences, the advice suggests that there is very little the couple can do to completely quell the nerves of guests who feel compelled to bring something. The focus remains on prioritizing sentimental memories over material items during the wedding celebration process.
