i am the matron of honour in an upcoming wedding. the bride and groom are requesting no gifts of any type as they have all they need including money. instead they will be giving gifts to the guests. as the matron of honour should this no gift request be honored by me as well or is a token gift ok to give? i don't want to offend their request but i did have a gift in mind for them. would it be rude if i gave them one?

If they say no gifts, honor that and keep that gift in mind for another occasion.

How nice of them to request no gifts. I hope people oblige and don't buy them useless items!
I think that donating something to a charity is a great idea.
Here are two more ideas:
1. Create a wonderful photo album or scrapbook for them after the event
2. Give them tickets to a play, opera, or ballet and perhaps dinner too - to let them know you really wnat to support their relationship and special time together.

that's person-friendly to tip the minister,present the matron of honor,bestman,and all of us who has helped you with the marriage.working example,is a buddy making your tarts?then you certainly might present her.Is somebody adorning for you for loose?you will possibly present them.It seems such as you're gifting the ultimate people.in case you sense it awkward to furnish those presents in front of the others,do it privately till now or after the dinner.

I would donate some money to a charity in their honor if you must 'give' something.....then present it to them privately.....but do not go against their wishes, as that would put you out in front of the other guests who desire to respect their wishes, and will be coming to the wedding empty handed.

I think a token gift is fine, and will be appreciated. Since you are the matron of honor, you obviously mean alot to them (and they to you) so I'm sure they'll appreciate your thoughtful gift.

Go ahead. They were the rude ones for mentioning gifts at all, even to say they don't want them.

unique gift – special art picture!
I was in your shoes when I tried to find a special wedding gift for my sister
A friend of mine recommended http://www.photoartomation.com (they converts ordinary photos into art and print them on canvas).
I sent them a photo. They made several preview samples for me. All of them were perfect. I chose one of them and order a canvas stretched print. That was awesome!
My sis was very, very pleased
