What is the appropriate wedding present for my boss's daughter? Wedding is in 2 weeks I need help!?

Question

I have known this girl getting married for many years and I have helped do alot for this wedding, I just don't know what the appropriate wedding gift would be. It is helps, she is the only child, has had 3 wedding showers already and her dad is a top doctor. This wedding is very costly and black tie so I never thought I would be invited not to mention all my co-workers and other doctors from the hospital. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Answer 1

If she still has items on the registry of where ever she is registered at, buy her another gift. If all the gifts have been purchased, buy a wedding card, and put a cheque inside, than you will give as a gift. You have to at the very least be sure you give enough for the cost of hosting yourself and a guest if you're bringing one. Since you have had a hand in planning the wedding, you may have an idea of how much the expenses are for each guest, and make your gift accordingly. I also suggest rounding up to a round figure. The last thing you want is for anyone to bad mouth your gift to her father, cos you know they will if they're not pleased. Good luck!

Boss Daughter Shower

Answer 3

I suggest a gift card from a shop with which she is registered.
If you want to go the gift route check out some boutiques and specialized stores near you. You can get something unique like wine glasses or something ceramic (like a chip and salsa dish).
She will probably get lots of very nice gifts since you say the wedding will be "high end." So, a gift card or check will be nice- she can buy the things she needs or deposit the money into a savings account for something later on.

Answer 4

Get something from her registry, thats the easiest way to do it and that way you know you are getting something the couple wants. Put a really nice card with it and maybe a little extra something like a nice picture frame for the new couple to put a picture in from their wedding day so it makes the gift a little more personal since you have known her so long.

Answer 5

If you've known this girl for awhile you should get her something personal, because she will get all the household gifts from relatives and her parents friends (trust me i go to a bunch of black tie fancy weddings my dad's a doctor also, thats what we give the couple), so it would mean more to the bride to get a personal gift from a friend. When it really comes down to it you can always give them money. the point of a wedding gift is to congrat the couple on their marriage, so don't focuse on impressing them. i hope this kind of helped

Answer 6

Selecting from the registry is a safe bet. I like the idea of joining with your other co-workers if you are sure they will all contribute equally and are agreeable to the idea. If her dad is your boss, he has some idea of what your income is and hopefully would not be expecting something extravagant. A gift certificate or money/check, from a group seems more acceptable to me than from an individual. Not sure why that is, just my feelings.

Answer 7

I've experienced the same situation, and this is what my coworkers and I did; we pooled our money and bought a gift certificate for a well-known romantic restaurant in our town. It was a hit! Most people buy things for the home, which of course is needed, but they really appreciated our gift that celebrated them as a couple.

If that isn't feasible, the best thing I can suggest is a super nice 8X10 picture frame; they'll need something to put their favorite wedding photo in and really, you can never have enough picture frames.

Answer 8

I would suggest checking where she is registered to see if there is something that hasn't already been bought and is within your price range. Other than that a gift certificate to a nice restaurant is a good idea.
It seems as if what you are trying to say is that she already pretty much has what she needs, so the certificate to a nice restaurant might be the way to go.

Answer 9

i think of you could call your pal and say that something has arise and you're uncertain in case you could shop "Lindsay" or a minimum of no longer for the two weeks she will have the potential to be long gone. perchance this is going to open a talk as to why you weren't invited to the marriage. i think of it particularly is shabby therapy, and that i could subject approximately preserving the youngster of somebody so irresponsible and careless. If "Lindsay" has some style of emergency, i could subject that she could be conveniently no longer obtainable by making use of cellular telephone. :-[ in case you get a rational clarification for no longer being invited, yet nevertheless being saddled with such an criminal duty, then perchance your schedule ought to open up. She desires to respond to to this.
