We, fortunately, had a spare room available. And, we also received the blessing of being invited to easily a half-dozen other weddings within one year. Why was that a blessing, you didn't ask?
Because we found it an eminently reasonable means (always keeping track of where the source item came from, so we wouldn't be 'returning' it) of disposing with the half-dozen electric mixers we received. Since SWMBO already owned said appliance, we decided this redundancy of gifts was actually meant to help our finances by not needing to purchase wedding gifts for these other nuptials.
