    Wedding Gift Ideas

    My mother Heather and her fiancee, Stephen are getting married on the 18th of February this year. It's going to be a small wedding at the court house and just a small family get together for the reception. I'm very happy for them, but I can't think what to get them as a wedding gift. My mother is 50 and Stephen in 48, so they've got everything they NEED. it's not like they're young newlyweds, so I can't buy them a blender or a gravy boat. I'd buy them a holiday or something but I can't afford it. So any ideas would be very appreciated!

    Re: Wedding Gift Ideas

    You could buy a really lovely, well made picture frame or album and put some wedding pictures in it? You could get really creative with it too, and buy a good quality book, and get the guests to write messages in it along with pictures. Or make your own frame.

    It'll take a little work, and they won't get their gift on the day, but it's a gift with a lot of thought in it and one they'll very likely treasure forever (more so than a blender).

    thats what I was gunna suggest. Or having their favourite pic of the day blown up and put on canvas or summat. Obviously they wouldnt get it on the day, but a late well thought out gift is better than a gravy boat on the day

    Actually, Id quite like a gravy boat, I mentioned this to the boy the other day when we had the gravy in a measuring jug in the middle of the table...

    Canvas prints are the way to go nowdays I think they are awesome, my wife and I are going to get one of our wedding photos into a big canvas.
    You can get them from Hardly Normals they biggest is about $200 maybe more but you can get small ones as well, that way it isn't a consumable but something they can display and have forever on.

    Re: Wedding Gift Ideas

    Thank guys They're all really great ideas. Not sure about the trojan horse though I'm still no closer to deciding. They're so hard to buy for! I was going to buy them a wedding cake, but it's already been organised. Hmmm! I could buy them a dining table and chairs and get everyone to put in for it! Yeah!

    Thanks again!

    Yeah you see a lot of couples doing a wishing well nowdays and everyone chips in, some guests find it offensive not knowing what their money is going to aw well each to their own, that way the bride and groom can put it towards a honey moon or something they really need.
    Get them a lottery ticket.
