This is my first wedding gift shopping. I am not sure if I must give something for a couple.
Pls advise.

Okie....this is for a close girl friend. She will be getting married in Sept. I wont be attending her wedding cos the wedding will be held in overseas. And she will be leaving for good at the end of this month. I suppose I can call this a shower gift too.
And I am not gonna buy household gifts cos it will be difficult for her to bring along with her.
Why lingerie? Cos she told me before she and her husband (whom I havent met) have been dating for 10 years. So I thought lingerie is good for her to spice things up....hehe
Why heels? Good memory. We both love shoes and we have had alot of good time shopping for shoes....

I think its very nice but not something I would give for her to open in front of others!! I say go with it! You know she loves shoes-like you-and lingerie will definitely help spice things up!!

Since you two are close friends, I think it's cool. If you were just some cousin or old college friend, it would be different, but that sounds cool and fun. I'd add some massage oils and maybe a tiny vibrator in as well. Sex toys would definitely spice things up, if not together, it would spice up her masturbations sessions which would allow for better sex in the long run. If you're not sure, why not a gift card for a sex shop? Then the two of them can go together and pick out some fun things. Have fun!

If your question were: "Is this appropriate for a wedding shower?" I would say yes. But for a wedding, no. Often couples will open their wedding gifts together with their family at home....I for one would be embarrassed to pull out some sexy lingerie and shoes in front of my family. Wedding gifts are for the couple together. Choose a gift appropriate for the both of them. (I know..lingerie is somewhat for both of them..but you know what I mean)
However, a bridal shower is for the bride to be showered with gifts from her female friends and family. This is the place to give naughty gifts, gag gifts and other potentially embarrassing things. The bride to be opens the gifts in front of just the other girls...so everyone can oooh and aaah and giggle.
So, please rethink this gift for the wedding. If you are invited to the shower, give the lingerie there.

I think it is an awesome gift, many times if they bride will have two seperate parties, an bridal shower and private bridal shower, private ones are where lingerie are a little more appropriate, but i've been to plenty of regulary showers where ligerie was given. It's always nice to have something to make you feel sexy in front of the one you love... I've bought my bride to be friend glasses and a bottle of wine as wedding gift before, and since it is a close friend, she will appreciate any gift you give her ( :

A wedding gift is for both of them. Usually the bride and groom have a registry of ideas at certain stores. If not, give something like a gift certificate to a nice department store, appliances, sheet set, towels and hand towels, etc...
The gift you chose is more the type of thing that you give to the bride at her bridal shower.

That's strictly a shower gift...definitely not a wedding gift. Find out what stores they're registered with and find something appropriate there. If you can't, then a gift card enclosed in a nice wedding card would be sufficient. It should be to the both of them as it is their wedding.

This would be a bridal shower gift or something opened in private. It sounds like a great gift, just be mindful of when the bride will be opening it. You don't want to embarrass her by letting her open it at the reception in front of everyone.

Something for the couple helping them to set up home together is best. if they've been living together for ages and their house is already sorted, then vouchersa re always good. Friends of ours asked for vouchers from a travel agent to help towards the honeymoon....loads of us took them up on their suggestion and they were able to go away .....the cost of the wedding had left them with no funds for a honeymoon, so this was a great way of helping.

If you give this to them... this is surely a comment that you are suggesting sexual intercourse for them as soon as possible...
Sometimes it could be a great gift... sometimes not...
But if you don't want other people to think like that... better not give it... but it is a good suggestion...
It may boost up confidence for the bride with her husband... because maybe she's a bit shy in buying them you know... try it and see hat happens... I'm not telling you to give it it's still your choice... just a suggestion

only you know your friend, if u think that she would enjoy or get a kcik out of it it sounds like a good idea, if shes a proper girl that has to have everything her way then maybe not as good of an idea.
you be the judge, but if you do give it, make sure you specify on the card not to open in public or fun for the honeymoon so she wont open it in front of her parents
