Toilet paper. Everyone can use it.
For someone as rich as you, I would be sure to buy the really nice brand.

There are so many great gifts you can give on a small budget.
If you have a digi cam and a good eye you can take pictures, and make them a lovley album of their wedding to have right after the wedding, their photographer will take minimum 4-6 weeks to give them their photos, so couples love seeing shots from guests and you can usually do this for under 20 bucks depending what album you want to buy.
Another inexpensive idea for gifts is a bottle of champs you can get for a few dollars at your local liquor store and some inexpensive glasses, you can usually get some great champagne flutes at Target for 2 bucks a piece.
You could buy a lovely frame for them.
If they are taking a honeymoon to a beach you can make them a gift basket of goodies, sunscreen, flip flops, sunglasses etc, and can be purchased at a dollar store. Presentation is the key.
But at the end ofnthe day your love and warm wishes are all that the couple need. Gifts are nice, but true friendships are more valuable.

Wow, define stuck up snotty b i t c h - look in the mirror lady. How do you define "poor people" anyway? Those who don't have their noses stuck so far up they cannot see the sidewalk? I'm assuming I would be in the class of poor people then - thank God. I give something that the wedding couple would need. I put some thought into it and do not buy something tasteless that costs a lot of money and that they will never use. What goes around, comes around lady. Some day, may your attitude come back and bite you in the butt. Have a Nice Day.

I usually make something for the couple. I have made quilted pillows, I also made a shadow box that cost 8.00 I decorated it with paper flowers, and their wedding invitation, and place for a wedding photo.. it looked like it cost 70-80 dollars. Other than that I usually donate my time and make all the floral arrangements for the wedding, I have a friend who is a photographer, and donates her skill by taking photos of the wedding. I seldom buy something retail. Mainly homemade, but sometimes sales are good. I have also given baskets of snacks for the honeymoon, wrapped up in a nice basket. It really depends on the budget.

why are you worried about gifts from your so called "poor" ppl?? you dont NEED gifts to show love or that you care, just the fact that they show up should be good enough. if showing up at a wedding and congradulating the bride and groom isnt good enough for you, you have a problem. period. you are a snob and who cares if you are marrying someone rich and your 21 i am 21 to and getting married next month. you are full or s*%# why even put something like that on the internet, all you want is sympothy from your so called poor friends if you even have any and paris hilton is an anarexic sl*t and is ugly.

You could always make a little gift basket from the dollar store. Just buy a little basket or bucket and fill it with little things. I do that for presents all the time and they are a HUGE hit. As long as you take off the stickers that say "dollar store" no one will know. Ideas to put inside are picture frames, candles, some decorative items, condoms for the gag gift. Have fun with it!

Why would you care, from the attitude you have you wont be inviting poor people to your wedding anyway, as you obviously dont care about the wedding at all, but are more interested in what people can do for you. You need to grow up and realize what marriage is. I feel sorry for your fiance, but he'll soon realize you are a gold digger and he'll get rid of you.

you could always find a picture of the two of them, and frame it with a nice card. It will be sentimental. You could also find a nice poem to write on a little cut out heart and put it in the frame. It would be a nice gift from the heart. Something they will cherish forever. Beer is really not appropriate.

You know what; I am a single mother doing the best that I can currently. I live paycheck to paycheck at the moment so I guess you could call me poor. Please invite me to your wedding so i can give my gift to you. A swift kick up your a@@. Oh yeah that's right you aren't getting married because you are such a B%t#ch. That is why you are on wedding boards complaining about other people who are getting married.

Just because a person is "poor" doesn't mean a gift has to be garbage. I would much rather have something given from the heart instead of bought from Tiffany's just to impress.
