Present for mum getting remarried

No need for gifts you being there is enough to know you care.

Is going empty handed on the day a big issue? In my esperience, at weddings the gits are usually stacked on a tabel somewhere and the couple take them home andopen them later.

But if you are concered, then you could turn up with a card, and write a note in it to say that you will be providingthem with some framed photos of their big day.

Another non-bulky think would be a hand written letter congratulating them, telling your new step-dad how welcome he is to the family and wishing them al lthe best. You could if you wanted add in something about when you first know he was the right person for mum, or mention particualrly nice memories you have of the two of them.

It's the sort of thing which would be treasured as it is so personal, and, particualrly with a 2nd marriage, really welcoming andsupportive. Plus tis very personal, and it is not clutter.

Include a bottle of champagne or a wine that you think they will like as well, if you like.

I wouldn't go for engraved glasses unless you're sure that that is something they would realy like.

another option (which takes a bit more work, but might be doable,depending on the logistics of the day) would be to print off a phont during the day and give it to them in a frame.

When my sistergot married, one of the guests who was also acting as photographer had brought a small printer with him. When the speeches and first dance were finished, he slipped out to a sde room where he plugged in the printed, picked a couple of pictures and printed them stright off the memory card, and gave them to my sister and her new husband in a frame just before they left the reception.

Another option might be something such as a minature rose bush - you could probably find one with red roses, in bloom, if you wanted. Romantic, fiarly low cost, and not too cluttery as they can be planted out in due course.

People with dogs tend to take them wherever they go. But if you think they would be like some dog free time, maybe a voucher for a company like this? https://www.sitywalks.com/ But only if you are SURE they would ilke it, that it wouldn't offend them.

If you have contact with her partner and his possible offspring, you could try to prepare a so-called wedding magazine- http://photobooklets.wordpress.com/article/the-special-gift-with-lasting-value-the-1z79k472q3du2-12/ - where you tell the story of their life leading up to the wedding. Make a small print run for all the guests.
