What would you guys want to get for a wedding present?

Question

I have to go to a wedding on Sat. & I don't know what to get them...gift or cash? What would you want to get?

They are in their early 20's and already living together...I don't really think they need a lot of household stuff!

Answer 1

Cash, or maybe a photo frame or a album to put their wedding picture in :)

Answer 2

If they are not registered somewhere then I would give cash. Or a gift card to a store they can buy many different things at. If they already have a lot of stuff let them decide what they want to buy. Most couples register though. Check with the family or maid of honor.

Answer 3

Something off the registry, cash, or a gift card. The things are the registry are there for a reason and cash/gift cards are always useful. Perhaps get a gift card to a place like Walmart where they can get an actual gift or use it for practical things like groceries.

I'm sorry and I'm not trying to sound ungreatful but I hate it when people give their own ideas of a wedding gift because they think it is cute and more personal. I mean, thanks for the crystal punch bowl with my monogram or the silver personalized frame with your pictures but I can't use those at all and I can't return them. Just something else to take up what little cabinet space I have. If you want me to think of you everyday then get me something I will use everyday like a spoon set.

Answer 4

I would be happy with either one. I'm the type of person who doesnt even care if I get any gifts as the attendance of my guests is a gift to me. I registered only because I know even if I tell my family and friends we dont want gifts they'll do it anyway, so I tried to make it easy for them. If they have a registry purchase something from it, if you just dont want to do that then money is great too as I'm sure they can use it.

Answer 5

cash should do fine. it is always nice to get money and be able to choose what you want. getting a gift you dont really need can be a pain sometimes, because you always feel like you need to keep it. i'd say go with the cash. they would be fine with it.

Answer 6

If they are registered somewhere, get something on the list. If not, a nice silver picture frame for the wedding photo or a nice wedding scrapbook. Giftcards for their favorite store would work also.

Answer 7

Give them a gift certificate to a good restaurant!!! People love going out to eat when someone else picks up the tab!!

Answer 8

Hi,

You can give them a painting of something you know they both love. Or something related to that special ocassion.

It starts from $99, you simple go to http://www.paintyourlife.com and they create the painting you want. Also includes free shipping.

Deliver time depends on size of painting.

Answer 9

i would want something useful such as a fridge or some type of furniture but i'd also love to get something unique and to look pretty in your house. Its best to get them something unique, something that no one else will get them. and if its unique they'll always remember you by it! :) k i just read the second part and i doubt you want to buy a fridge .. pretty expensive but it depends i would get them something unique though if i were you. - hope i helped <3

Check their registry and buy them something on it. This link will check registries to several common stores.

If you decide not to do that, I think that cash is acceptable. It would be great for them to take on their honeymoon or save for something larger, like a washer and dryer.
