this is a sec. wedding for her I don't really know him well. The first wedding I gave alot to her gift wise and money wise. I don't feel overly close to her anymore or her kids. She has never gone out of her way for me ever. I'm looking for maybe a small token to give to her but not sure what. They rent a house so any thing for the house is useless. They have been living together for 3years with 4 kids.

I would go to WALMART and select her a nice greeting-card and let that do.
You are under NO obligation to give her any money or a gift!

You didn't say if they are having an actual wedding this time around, but if they are, you can give them a card with a little money in it. I usually try to base the amount of money on how extravagant the wedding is - if they went all out, I'll give a little more. If you want to give a small token along with the card, maybe you can find a nice wedding-type picture frame that they can put their favorite wedding picture in. You can do either, or a combination of both. Even though you aren't close now, a cheap gift could permanently eliminate any chance of becoming close later in life (if she means that much to you).
If they aren't having a wedding but you still consider her a friend, a nice card in the mail would be sufficient.
Good luck.

Time to look for a budget gift then. A cute bonsai tree worked for me when I was invited to the wedding reception of a couple I knew from work - they were more acquaintances than friends, but they liked the tree. Shop around because not all retailers sell bonsais at high prices - if you live near an Oriental market, check out the stores there as well as the usual town stores. Enjoy the wedding, - who knows, you may meet people there who become your new friends.

Are you invited to the wedding? If you are, then a small gift in the range of $25 - $35 off the registry is good. If you're not going to the wedding, then a congratulations card is enough.

I think middlefinger is right. You are very kind and thoughtful, but you are not obliged to send this lady a gift, especially since she has done nothing to keep in contact with you despite you spending lots on her previously. If you really want to buy her something a small photgraph album or picture frame is always nice.

a phone card?
seriously....anything impersonal would be the ideal gift.
are they registered anywhere? if not, send her 20 bucks.
(it all adds up)
personally, after wedding number one, i think it's tacky to seek gifts unless they really have nothing. (which i hardly doubt).
i am getting married the second time around and am not asking for a thing, however, it will be my fiance's first marraige so, any gifts would more than likely come from his side of the family, but since we do not need anything, more than likely they will just fly to reno to see us get married and then everyone will have fun blowing the money on gambling-

Want to know how to get your ex back? Change yourself. Don't worry about changing other people, worry about changing yourself. Go to https://tr.im/4mL6h
Once you do that then you can start to worry about getting back together with your ex, other wise you will find that you are fighting about all the same things and getting no where. Do what it takes and I promise things will work out in your favor.
The funny thing is I came to the realization that I had to change a little too late. After I was kicked out and after I was about to lose the only things that truly mattered to me - her love. A funny thing happens when we truly love someone and lose them. We do what ever it takes to get them back. For me I had to drop bad habits that had caused not only our relationship to sour but practically every other relationship I had had in the past. Not only with women, but with friends, co-workers, family, you name it.
Which is why I say to you as my ex at the time said to me, the only thing you can do is change yourself. Work on yourself and improve on the person that you already are. Drop the negative things in your life that don't belong there and you will see all of your relationships start to take off to new heights.

A nice card always work. You are not obligated to give a gift but if you want to, you can give a gift certificate to a restaurant

Since you are not that close to her, you could just give her a card. If you want, get something nice from the registry.

I agree with a frame or even a photo album. You can go to a Things Remembered, they have nice frames and albums.
