wedding present

[Connemmara]

Any ideas on this. Received a wedding invitation for October - won't be going - they are just acquaintances I know in a job I do voluntary. The couple will be going to live with her mother - so have not a clue re present. I know some of you will say money - how much do you reckon. Thanks in advance

Difficult to gauge how much, youngers getting married expect so much these days.

Good idea anne - always very useful.

Yes how much

personalise a bit of Lochinver Highland Stoneware pottery? or a wooden bread plate with their names carved on.

Acquaintances at a voluntary job would get a nice card and warmest wishes from me.

Hi Connemmara,
Don't know if you'd be interested in one of these for a present for the couple,
but I paint personalised pictures on glass for different occasions, and recently did a nice wedding one for a friend.
Here's a link if you want to have a little look :o)

I always buy a nice mirror. Even years later you always see it somewhere in the house. (Its a reflection from you)

I think a nice mirror is a lovely touch too - as I did buy my neighbour's son a lovely mirror with a clock on it as well. Never went to that wedding either. thanks guys.

have thy done a gift register aywhere. If so I would lok at that, see the cost o the various items and give money according to the value of a small item on the list. If they are not not movigto teir ownhome actual gifts will ust be stored away possible or quite some time and be taking up space. If they are not good friends and just acqaintences you dont have to give a huge sum just a token amount.
