Wedding - evening do and gift

Bebs

We have been invited to an evening do for a wedding, can anyone give me a gift idea? we have never been to an evening only do for a wedding so I am totally clueless!

Thanks

How well do you know then, and what's your budget?

Maybe a nice photo frame (doesn't have to be expensive)
A bottle of champers (with/without a pair of champagne glasses)
Voucher for somewhere?

I would speak to the couple and ask if they have a wedding list with a store. Then give them vouchers for whatever value you feel comfy with. They may wish to add to things they have asked for from the same place.

Just ask the couple or their parents, or their friends to see if theres anything in particular.

If not, Id give vouchers or money for honeymoon, or a photo frame if I saw a nice one.

I'm surprised there is no gift list. Just ask the couple, (or family if you know them).
If not, I'm a big fan of just giving cash (£20 approx for evening.... ish, depending how well you know them). Or vouchers if they like a particular shop / store?

I bought a friend a Yankee candle, one called Wedding Day. They loved it, was £18.50 though so not that cheap x

A small gift - not too expensive, I too would say about £10 to £20. Photo frames (they will need them with all those lovely wedding pics to display), yes that special Yankee Candle is lovely. You can also get hand decorated ones too for about the same price. also small 'Brag books' for the pics they want to take about with them!

It depends on how well you know the couple really. If there is no wedding list I normally buy a Willow Tree ornament. They do lovely meaningful ones that are suitable for wedding days. Depending on whether they drink alcohol a nice bottle of champagne has always been appreciated too. I have also given a wedding keepsake box in the past with the Bride and Grooms names on and the wedding date.

Bottle of champagne so they can either celebrate tying the knot or drown their sorrows!

just check they like champagne first if youre going to do that- and that they aren't getting 30 bottles from other people who couldnt think what else to get

Me and DH cant stand the stuff and we have about 10 bottles in our kitchen from various people. I have to give it away to other people and then at xmas, birthdays, work etc I get more..
