The candle Poem

A basket of candles That come in a pair
In all different colors, For you two to share
The white ones burn first
They are wrapped in white lace
To celebrate your first married night
In your new chosen place
The green pair is taller, and also much thinner
Burn with the first company, you have over for dinner
The dark blue candles are for after your first fight
Use them to burn while making up all night
Pink candles set the mood and pave the way
For your first married Valentine’s Day
Now, when your first year of marriage is through
The cream anniversary pair, will light for you two.
Red candles aflame, both your futures are bright.
Celebrate promotions you’ve worked toward with all of your might.
By this time we hope, maybe, just maybe
You can light the purple ones, on the birth of your baby,
And just when you thought, you’d put these away
Take the light blue ones out-for your fifth anniversary day.
Now just one more pair left-for the big 2 5
The anniversary pair that will keep your love alive
Congratulations bride and groom (enter names)
On the start of your forever
May the two of you always be happy together
And burn these candles
Just the way we said
But please don’t forget-blow them out before bed!

Place all the candles in a nice basket, a nice gift for under $20

Cash, gift card, anything off their registry. You could also give her a mini photo collage of you and her throughout the years. Leave a space so she can add a photo of the two of you at the wedding! She should understand if you tell her you're bone dry and can't get her a great gift that you would like to.

Answer 4

When I got married I registered at a couple of different places. Ask your friend if she is registered. If she isn't, I know that the gifts that I appreciated the most were picture frames and bedding. New frames to display new wedding photos is always a great gift. New sheets and matching blankets are special because they are the first bed clothes shared as husband and wife. Money is also nice because it comes in handy on the honeymoon. I hope that I helped.

Answer 5

Either give them cash or find something off of their registry list that you know they will use a lot or will especially appreciate you getting them (something that relates to their favorite hobby, etc.)
Demonstrative gifts can be nice, but at the end of the day I think most couples starting out will be much happier to have something they need/can use daily than something expensive or decorative that won't be as important as the pots and pans or salad shooter they wanted people to buy them.

Answer 6

Whenever I am invited as a wedding guest I give knives! I know this sounds crazy, (I know most people don't like to ascosiate their marriage with weapons) but my gift never got duplicated because nobody thinks of it; and nobody has ever returned them! If you go for it; get a nice, high quality set with the holder so she doesn't get cut digging through a drawer full of knives. Even a decent set shouldn't be that much money.

Answer 7

You could go with cash or something on the registry, or you could go with something a little more unique and fun, whatever you think they would like best. Here are some great gift ideas for weddings that are pretty unique if you decide to go that route: http://www.homewetbar.com/shop-theme-wedding-gifts-c-60_80.html

Answer 8

a present day for the bridal bathe is needed. regardless of the undeniable fact that, while receiving a marriage invitation, it is no longer carved in stone that any one has to hold yet another, extra formal present; yet, maximum individuals do. you're travelers of the bride and groom and for this reason at the instant are not predicted to hold a present day to the marriage. many human beings get this incorrect and placed registries in wedding ceremony invites, this would properly be a huge breach of proper wedding ceremony etiquette. Registries bypass in bathe invites basically. After having pronounced this, the weddings I attend are commonly kin or very close acquaintances and it is my own desire to furnish a bathtub present and a marriage present. in case you do no longer desire to purchase 2 presents it is fullyyt as much as you.

Answer 9

What about making a basket of goodies for their honeymoon/wedding night. You can put in a bottle of wine or champagne, candles, rose petals, sexy lingerie, boxers, and to add a bit of humor a whip or some body paint.
Or more traditional...a gift card to a home improvement or housewares store, their favorite restaurant, or money.
Hope you have a great time.

Answer 10

Since this is your best friend why not make an album of pictures of the two of you through the years you spent having a great time growing up. You can put wonderful memories and quotes also in the book. It will be a treasure she will keep forever!
