1. Money matters a lot This kind of gift is recommended and hassle free for guests.
If the couple has just finished school, most probably they still have loans to pay and this gift will surely help. A few more dollars is enough to make the couple's dream gift become a reality. It's never impolite to give cash as gifts. You can buy the newlyweds a pair of card holders and inside it place the cash with your note of best wishes.
2. Ask the salesman where the couple has registered if they have a cheaper item that goes with the items the couple has selected when they signed-up Don't just stick to their signed-up items, remember to look for gifts at a lower price. If the couple's wish is so expensive, try to ask other friends if they are willing to share the expense with you instead of buying their own gift.
3. Hotel accomodation for two Nothing beats the first night as a couple in a luxurious hotel room even just for a night. The lovely couple will appreciate a nice comfy and restful place after they have been though months of preparation.
4. Lifetime worthy gifts An expensive wine can be added to their collection or can be a first in their collection.If you can find an antique shop that sells cheaper products then that is worth keeping for a lifetime as well.
5. Make their time together more special - You may ask where the couple is going on a honeymoon and try to get them some tickets in that area where they can enjoy an activity together. If the couple is going away, you can get them a digicam for them to use during their adventure.
