To repeat: we don't need stuff. We are so happy to have wonderful people like you in our lives that your love and best wishes are the best gift of all. If you'd like to send a card with a thoughtfully written note or silly story or funny picture, that would be excellent.

If you must spend money, please donate to one of our favorite organizations:

The Nature Conservancy
Medecins Sans Frontieres / Doctors without Borders
Progressive Secretary
The Brown Fencing Team (if you donate by mail or phone, please specify "M/W Fencing Endowment." If you use the online form, check the box for "Add to an Existing Endowment Fund" under "Capital Gifts" and specify "M/W Fencing")
NPR: (WBUR, WGBH, WETA, WHYY, WMEA, KNOW or find your local affiliate)

If you still feel the need to buy a "wedding gift", we've registered for a few things that we don't yet have at Williams Sonoma, but there's not enough there for everyone to buy something.

So just send a card.
