|
| I am planning on getting my sister and her groom a gift certificate for a night a nearby resort. They aren't going on a honeymoon and have a toddler son. My mom has offered to babysit (I live out of of town) for them when they want to go. Would you enjoy this or feel that it was too intrusive? I told the groom's mother what I was planning and she thought it was too intrusive to assume that they would want to go there. |

| Ofcourse the mother in law would say that. Mother in laws always disagree. It is from your heart so, go ahead, do it. Otherwise, give them a gift certificate for a major store & let them pick out the things they want for their new house. |

| I think that's wonderful!!! If they can't go on a 'real' hunnymoon, u should give them something similar. I think that it's a very nice personal gift, everyone else is probably getting them a toaster, or money, u r giving them a stress-free weekend by themselves, i think that is very thoughtful. |

| i think it is a wonderful idea,its not like they have to go now,they can go when ever,right? even getting them a hotel room for the night of the wedding would have been cool,they uaually get champein,breakfast in bed etc...but your idea is really cool. |

| go for it girl that is a great idea -----the grooms mother sounds a bit to far off were she wants to controll or did not realy accept the girl to bad the son sleeps with her for life --- great idea go for it by all means---forget the grom's mother--talk to them and see what day they want ---things are hard times are hard they would probably be happy |

| Intrusive, no! Generous is what you are. Since they will leave their toddler behind with grandma, I would give them some notice beforehand. Or if the certificate is good for anytime, thats even better. |

| A gift is something that is supposed to be unique and is given for the pleasure of the recipients. Don't be swayed by someone's opinion as to "intrusiveness". It sounds like a totally logical gift idea. If, however, the groom's mother has caused you to doubt your original idea, give the equivalent in cash or gift certificate stating your original idea but giving the newlyweds their own option.Good Luck |

| I think it is a great gift. I think the groom's mother is wrong. |

I think its a great idea! It is very generous of you to want to give them a night alone! I would enjoy it very much, and I think they will too.As far as the groom's mother goes, just ignore it. You know you sister better than she does. What couple wouldn't enjoy a night alone together at a nice resort! I don't think it is at all intrusive. It is great of your mom to offer to babysit too! That takes a lot of stress out of trying to find a sitter.Just a side note, if dinner isn't included at the resort, you could always suggest a restaurant gift card to anyone who asks you what they should get the couple. Then dinner would be covered too! Also, a nice bottle of champagne in the room would be an added touch!Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. You are getting them a great gift! What a nice sister!  |
