The weekend was a blast, but as I knew, it was expensive. Ah well, we frugal folks know how to save for things that are important to us!
My biggest expense was the anniversary gift. Tradition says either wood or silverware is the gift to give at five years. My BF has a full set (approx 120 pieces) of sterling silver flatware. He has always wanted to have his last initial engraved on them. I found a local shop which will charge anywhere between $3-$6 a piece. So, I’m in for $360-$720!
Anyone know of an engraver that would do it for cheaper??

i've always wanted to do the traditional anniversary gift things with my BF, we've been together for 5 years, but he thinks it's silly until we get married! (and that won't be for another 4 or 5 years!)

I tell you, following the traditional gift list is not easy! I thought I was brilliant to come up with the idea of engraving his silverware. He bought me a wooden jewelry box (very, very nice one!)
