I'm going with my boyfriend of almost four years to his brother's wedding. The bride and groom are like family to me, and we want to do something special for them, but we're students with hardly any money. They already live together and have all the typical newlywed stuff like toasters and wine glasses. They already have the money to buy anything they want anyway, and gift cards seem lame. Ideas, please! Back to top Juanita Yahoo User Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 3:40 pm    Post subject: A small fire safe. Very handy.

It costs almost nothing, just scan the pictures and make a dvd.

Something they could share on their first anniversary or at another special time in their lives.

Or an American express gift card so they can use it on their honeymoon!

Have their pictures morphed into what their future offspring would look like. Those are hilarious! On a serious note, they know you are struggling with money, so I think a nice home cooked dinner with candles and a bottle of wine to toast them with sounds nice. Best wishes!

Putting together an album for them is super cheap and usually more appreciated than something you could find in the store, anyway. The best gift I ever gave was a talking photo album I found. You were supposed to record things about each photo page. Instead I got all the close friends at this girl's graduation party to record a personal message to her. Years later, it is still one of her most prized possessions, because it is one of a kind. Don't know if you could find something like that, but who wouldn't love that kind of gift?

You can pick a constellation, and a star, to name in their honor. It's really cool, my hunny did it for our anniversary. It think it's the cheapest one is $54 bucks. I know it sound like alot for a college student budget, but they'll remember it forever. Back to top Fstop11 Yahoo User Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 3:44 pm    Post subject: Put together a spa kit. Complete with Bubble Bath, candles, Bath salts, wash cloths, lotions and massage oil. It is practical and something they can use to treat themselves and help relax after the wedding! It is actually cheaper to put something together by going to Big Lots Walmart or Ross or the dollar store than buying it. I suggest going to Ross first, they have neat baskets and boxes and you can find some spa stuff there. Other than that I have always had luck at Big Lots finding nice looking stuff and use Walmart to fill in what you don't have already! Or you can make your ouwn Bubble Bath and Bath Salts and all. Good luck! Back to top abfabmom1 Yahoo User Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 3:44 pm    Post subject: Have a copy of the invitation framed for them. Add a matte that is coordinated with the wedding colors, for a little something extra.

If they love you, they'll like that more than anything money will offer.

You can order one to be flown over the Capitol on their wedding day, and it's around $20.http://www.usflag.org/capitol.flag.html Back to top
