Have I missed something?  My seven year old daughter was invited to a party, and included with the invite was a GIFT REGISTRY CARD.

Seriously.  Is this not considered gauche?  Tacky?  Of the "no?"  Wedding?  yes. Birth? yes.  8 year old's brithday?

Any thoughts?  Opinions?  Gripes?  Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but dude.  Have the gimme gimme gimme's reached a new height?
