| She has already been married and has a fully furnished house. Does anyone have any good ideas? |

| If you don't want to just give them money, the ideas above are good. Or how about a sizable gift certificate to a nice restaurant? Or to ticketmaster so they can get tickets to a sporting event, show or concert of their choice? |

| Honestly for a 2nd marriage, I would would just give a card of best wishes. I am of the mindset that you get gifts for your first marriage only, I think its rude to expect a gift for a second marriage. |

| I would get them something on their registry, a gift card ,or money. That's the type of things we got at our wedding. Also, remember, that just because she has a fully furnished house doesn't mean she doesn't need new kitchen gadgets! kateqd30>> It's not that people getting married EXPECT a gift, nobody should expect a gift, even at a FIRST wedding... it's that people want to give gifts. |

| I'd go with an engraved picture frame for their wedding photo. Remember, they are starting NEW memories as a couple together, so something to signify this would be fitting. Maybe a picnic basket with a nice bottle of Champagne, but it depends on how well you know the couple.(For a second marriage, there really shouldn't be a gift registry, as they have a furnished household.) |

| I can't believe people are saying she doesn't get a gift because she's been married before. Wow. That's mean.I'd go with something personalized, like new towels, and beautiful pillow cases. B/c she has stuff from a previous marriage, it'll be special to have things celebrating this union.Also, you could get a beautiful Wilton Armital or Arthur Court serving piece (try Macy's). She may like getting new stuff to replace old.A beautiful frame.Something they don't necessarily need, but that is nice. |

| Gift cards to the movie theater, restaurant or some other fun "date" activity are always winners. Are they taking a honeymoon? Some sort of gift to go with the destination could be fun. (beach-sun tan lotion, beach towels, under water disposible camera, etc.) Or, if they drink, get margarita mixer & glasses, or whatever her drink of choice is. Otherwise, you can never go wrong with sticking to the registry...if there is one. (I try to avoid cash cause it's less personal, a gift certificate tells them you want them to enjoy the gift not just have some cash...but that's just me!) |
