| You have to remember it cost them money to have you at the reception so a small gift, to me is a must. Just because the first marriage didn't work doesn't mean she's at fault and should never receive a gift. But yes the registry is the best bet, if not then any gift certificate. I really like the ticketmaster idea. |

| If you attended the first wedding, you are under no obligation to buy a gift for someone who has been married before. It is very kind of you to want to give a gift to your friend. Since she has a fully furnished house, a nice gift would be a gift card to a home improvement store would be nice (home owners always have improvements that need to be done!) One of the nicest gifts when I got married was a really nice bottle of champagne. My husband & I are saving it for our anniversary. Another nice idea is a gift card to the movie theatre. I give these for all kinds of occassions and the recipients really seem to like them. |

| We have not registered and despite telling people that we just want them to come to the wedding there are certain relatives that have just insisted that they buy us a gift, in which case we have said things like towels and sheets, there is something nice about the thought of starting married life with fresh linen. I must say though it is only relatives that have asked us, and persisted in asking us, and the things we have suggested are both useful and inexpensive, we just want our friends and family to come and celebrate with us. |

| I am very interested in these answers. I am getting remarried in July. We are registered. Many of my friends, co-workers, etc. are glad that we are registered because they don't know what we need, especially since I was married before and he is a little older and settled in a house. They've told us to add more to the registry because they want to bless us with things we need. One thing that others may not have considered is that when one is divorced (you did not specify if she is divorced or widowed) the stuff is split up too. I know my ex got the microwave, toaster, some of the towels, etc.In my case, I was left with a lot of debt, so I haven't been able to refurnish everything. That is something to consider.My first suggestion is money. Second, a gift card to the place of registry. Third, if no registry, a gift card to someplace you know they like. Fourth, gift basket, with a movie (or gift card to a movie rental place), popcorn, candy, etc. or something like it. A nice note in the card is good to include too.Just because someone was married before should not take away from the wonderful new relationship. It takes enough away from it as it is. Just my thoughts... |

As a second-time bride, I have a little experience here. Ask her what they want/need. Just because she has a whole house full of stuff doesn't mean she's not registered somewhere. I mean, new stuff is always nice to replace old worn-out things, right? Consider an experience gift... dinner gift certificates, outings for their HM if taking one, a gift card for a hobby they enjoy together, and cash is always good. Also a donation to a charity they both support would be nice. Encore brides are entitled to have the same feelings, emotions and experiences as those getting married for the first time.  |

| Even though her house is fully furnished, still she needs some extra decoration.I suggest a painting of something she loves. See http://www.paintyourlife.com/ They have artists, just give them a pic of what you want and they make the rest for you and deliver to your door.Karl |
