|
|
| I have never bought a wedding gift before and I am actually accompanying her uncle. They have a 6 month old baby and live in a home which they have already bought. She is 30 yrs old and her and the fiance have lived together since 13 yrs ago. I am not close to her but feel like I should buy a gift. Her uncle never includes me in the gift thing even though my name was on the inviatation. He always writes a check. I feel sort of weird about this. What should I do? |

| If they have a registry go with that - if not a check - trust me, they are most cherished! |

| Everyone loves money. Definitely give money - this way you don't have to stress about running out to get a gift either. |

| My fallback gift for weddings has always been a photo album. It's inexpensive and everyone can use one. |

| If your not close, something as simple as a picture frame for their wedding memories would be nice, simple, yet still a little personal! |

| Get them a nice picture frame. You can't go wrong with a picture frame. They could put their wedding picture in it or pictures of the children. Also, it is not too expensive and they look nice. |

| If know what kind of cars they drive you could check out some new car mats? You can have their names embroidered on them, or just their last name. www.ggbailey.com |

| You can never go wrong with really nice picture frames. They're getting married and will have tons of pictures of their wedding, so nice frames will be nice! |

| Since they probably have all their household items you could give them a gift certificate to a nice restaurant, a bottle of wine, picture frame or photo album. |

| Im in the same situation, but on the other side. I am getting married in less then two weeks, and my fiance and I have lived together and have a child together as well. We don't need anything, so creating a registry was very difficult. I would suggest something new for the home, such as a wall decoration, candles, or perhaps a new set of pillows. You could always get them a gift card for an evening out or a store. You might see if they are taking a honeymoon and donate mo ney for that event. Hope this helps or gives ya some insight. |

| Are they registered? If not, how about something like Omaha Steaks or a fruit basket, a gift card? |
