Ladies

I need your help.

We are going to a wedding next Saturday and, as you all know, we are broke. This means I can't afford the usual £100 in an envelope so I need to find a gift that costs next to nothing but looks like it is worth £100.

Does anyone have ANY ideas.

Mucho thanko in advanco!

What about a special bottle of champagne/wine in an engraved box as a keepsake about £50 but at least its half the price

Think champagne is good idea. Or you could buy a lovely box and do a memory box for them that they can add to. Have you any old photos of them and buy a newspaper on the day they marry write down who was number one in charts add order of service and menu etc????????????

I do that for all the children born in our family.
Normally get a box from Ikea, wooden letters of their name and fill it with local newspaper and The Times of the day they were born, along with No 1 Single, Album and DVD.
I could do that for them and add in a photo album I guess - which should all come to less than £50 if I get a good album and box

Champagne also sounds good - but LOL would they know it was the good stuff (biatch I know)

PS I hate weddings!
