    When my daughter went to her best friend's wedding she took a plate for all of the guests to sign - would something like this be appropriate? Also a newspaper from the day they get married (or keep this for their first anniversary)

    I think restaurant vouchers / cinema tickets are fantastic idea. I would have loved that as a wedding gift.

  • Near where I live a photographer is offering a session and a CD of the edited pictures for £30. Maybe something like this and they could possibly use it after the baby is born for some family pictures?

    Not towels!!! They are the most unimaginative thing EVER. They might not even match their bathroom decor! :eek:

    Meal/cinema voucher is great.

    Wine glasses.. if she is expecting will she use them?

    Not anything they would need for a baby.

    My best wedding present was a huge kitchen bin filled with pillows... they were practical cheap and incredibly useful!

  • Sorry this will sound wrong but i laughed at the comment "wine glasses when she is pregnant" my first thought well i drank a large glass and a bit most nights when i was pregnant so hell ye i would welcome some nice wine glasses pregnant or otherwise

    Groupon have some good "meal for 2" vouchers every so often, I bought them for my friend and her hubby for Christmas and they went down well!

    We have been together for a number of years (and we are expecting too!) and if we were to get married - the things that we would most appreciate would be department store (M&S, John Lewis or Debenhams) or Amazon vouchers - although preferably John Lewis as they sell nice treat-type things!

    Cinema and meal vouchers - not really as you either have to add to them or don't spend enough and everywhere is doing cheap deals anyway.

    Wine glasses - we have loads of these and expensive ones just get broken anyway!

    Recipe books or towels are dull - and we have plenty of both!

    So dept store vouchers gets my vote!:T

    Have you asked the couple what they would like (or indeed if they would like anything)?
