Also, I don't really know my "date" all that well- we met through the groom who I kind of know as well. He was looking for a fun string-free date and I know the family of the groom and a number of the guests, so it was a perfect fit!The wedding is for the brother of one of my good friends.Any ideas??Thanks!!

stick to the registry and stay within the 30-50 dollar range since you do not know them well

Check the registry first. If there isn't one, ask your friend if there is anything that the couple needs.If that doesn't work, you can either do cash or a gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond or something to that effect.

I agree with Christina, go with the registry and if you don't see anything in the $30-50 price range, you can always get a gift certificate to their favorite store or restaurant

Nothing. He (groomsman) should have it covered. It was either drag or stag. Have a good time!

If you would have been invited to the wedding anyway,I would go for the 30-50 dollar range everyone is suggesting. If you are going only as the guest of the groomsman,than a card with $20 would be approropriate.

Find out if they have a registry, if so, choose something under $50. If they don't have one then silver or crystal picture frames or scented candles are always a good gift.

A nice crystal serving piece; you don't need to spend more than 25-30.

Give them a movie night basket. Some popcorn, candy, etc. and a gift card to Blockbuster! Simple and fun, but not spendy. Almost every couple would like it and use it!

I agree with Christina the registry in the $30-50 range is perfect. If they didn't register you can get them a crockpot or toaster oven or something like that. Cash is a card is always good too.

You don't have to give a gift - you are a plus one.If you really want to - go by the registry. Something like $20-$30 is fine. Or pitch in with the Groomsmen to get something more expensive.

Even though you are a bring along guest you should give a gift. Weddings are celebrations, and they will be spending money on you haveing a good night with them. You will be eating, drinking and dancing. I am so glad you are asking because so many people think that just because you are a date you shouldnt get them anything and that is just not proper.Weddings are generally 100-200$ per guest. I think if you got them a 30-50$ gift from the registry that would be appropriate. Have a great time!Smile

I like giving money because it gives them the opportunity to do with it what they choose. anywhere between $20-$100 should be fine
