Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:
Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about, or about things between her and her fiance. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it! Pictures of you and her, her and her fiance, etc.
The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.
Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.
Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.

Maybe gather up a collection of pictures and keepsakes you can find from all the years growing up. Things that are special to both of you. Place them in a beautiful keepsake box ( you can make one with stuff from craft stores. That way it's even more personalized). Then, when you both have time go through them together and relive the special memories together.

If money is not an issue, I would say open a bank account with say 1000.00 dollars in it. Then tell them that it is available for them for an emergency. An emergency would be say they were unable to make a payment on their mortgage or a utility bill they may have "over looked". Groceries for when they are living from pay check to pay check. Or a medical emergency. But do stress to them it should be used for an emergency.
A down payment on a new car is not an emergency. But fixing a used car would be.

make her a scrap book of pictures of her growing up and leave a few pages blank for her to fill in of her big day. start off with her as a baby and go from there. if you have pictures from when her husband proposed then do the last page with that then the blank ones. you could also put a necklace on the cover

I got married a month ago, and honestly, the best gift that my parents could have given me - and they did - was cash.
Weddings are so expensive nowadays - it si crazy.
Unless you are already paying for the wedding, cash is the best, though it is not overly romantic.

A life charm bracelet. Have different charms of special days in her life... Or buy her a necklace from with a heart pendant and engrave their wedding date on the back

We were given a memory box from my in-laws for our wedding. I never had heard of one before but,it is a tradition in their family. When we unpacked it at our new house there were some mementos from our wedding slipped inside(it was empty when they gave it to us they snuck them in when we weren't watching.) It was quite special getting it and finding those things when we went to put paperwork from our first house in it.
Our Memory box came from The Bombay Company.

I wish my mom or in-laws would help us and get us some furniture. were moving in to our new house right after the wedding. I wish someone would help us out with the dining room set. I'm not saying that i expect it, because I don't. I would just love it if it happened.

Maybe a beautiful peice of jewelry. For my 18th birthday my mom found me a really neat picture and everytime I look at it I think of her and that day.
