were not going mad this year either, all the spare cash is going to the wedding, ive half a mind to tell family if they want to get us something just give us cash to go towards the wedding but the kid in me wants pressies*stamps feet* and i dont want them to think they have to contribute in a big way ie if they normally get us a bottle of wine just give us a fiver but i dont know how to word that with out sounding crass!

Could you ask for something you want (or need might be a better word!) for the wedding or honeymoon?
I've got a fuji instax camera on my wish list coz I can't justify spending that much when I have a perfectly good digital camera but I REALLY want instant pics of my guests taken on the day that they can write a message next to in the guest book!!

Oh and H2B is getting a projector screen for Christmas for use with the projector he's finally buying himself after drooling over them for about a year!

I don't have any ideas - lol but I won't be getting in anything like this - I don't want to panic him and him to get cold feet :rotfl:

And while I'm here... MrD's mum is just looking at getting him some clothes for Christmas but is worried about fit... I've found the following on Debenham's website and thought I'd share it incase anyone else is wondering about returns/exchanges...

It seems we all setting budgets for Xmas with our impending Weddings!! Phew, i dont feel alone now on trying find a decent present on a small budget. It has certainly made me think though and i am replacing some of the traditional stuff we buy as a family too for a cheaper alternative. Instead of the obligatory selection box i have saved jam jars with lids, covered them in gift paper (F1 cars for my son, Star Wars for H2B etc etc) and i am filling them with pick n mix sweets/chocs instead. That way i can pick their favourite and its much cheaper than the set selection boxes you get.
