Need wedding gift ideas...

It's my FBIL's wedding this evening.. they are having a casual wedding in their backyard.. it's his 3rd and her 2nd marriage.. what do I get them? I don't want to give them money, they both have their own businesses/homes and do very well.. Any ideas?

Wine of the month club... I love that as a gift idea for the person that has everything

Hmm.... Tickets to a show? Is that tacky? Gift Certificate to Fortunoff, or something (maybe there's something they want), ummm.... Wow, if you don't want to give money I understand, but what else is there? I'm sorry this is tough Either that, or I can't think

Hope I helped a little...

Edited to say: Good idea ddunne, wine of the month club!

That is a tough one. Do they share any hobbies like golf or travel or cooking? Then you could put together some kind of theme gift. What about gift certificate to a fancy restaurant? Or to a spa?

That's what I was thinking.. but they are both workaholics.. so I don't want to have tdo the ticket thing cause I don't know their schedules..

he owns a restaurant, so I can't do the gift cert..

it's a tough one alright lol

Today on the view they had holiday gift suggestions, and Meredith, Lisa, and Joy's suggestions could all be used as wedding gifts. Meredith suggested a flower of the month club, I believe you can get something like this from Marthastewart.com, or you could get a fruit of the month club gift from Harryanddavid.com, wine of the month is also a good suggestion, you could pair that with one of those $80 rabbit wine openers. Joy suggested these fancy personalized photo albums from aspinaloflondon.com They didn't say the exact price, but I'm guessing they'd be expensive. Lisa's suggestion was a wine bucket from Tiffany & Co. I believe it was only $80. If you wanted to spend more, you could add a fancy bottle of wine, and maybe one of those bottle openers. Tiffany is a good place to buy something for someone who has everything, maybe a nice vase, or decanter?

Wine of the month club sounds nice.

You could also purchase the wine bucket and put the wine of the month club certificate in it.

Re: Need wedding gift ideas...

There are so many online. The one I am using as a gift is brownderby.com. It is the cheapest I have seen for two bottles a month. You can do it forever long as you want...3 months, 6, 12... I beleive it is $30 including shipping. You decide whether you want 2 reds, 2 whites, or a red and a white shipped every month.

If you go to broadway.com you can buy an open gift certificate. They can choose the show and the date they would like to go. I bought one as a graduation gift for a friend and she loved it..thats if you want to stick to the show idea.

My husband and I received gift certificates to Bliss Spa for a massage. We just had them last weekend - omg - never went for a proffesional massage before - but now I am an addict. It was one of our favorite gifts!
