OT - What would you do?

Absolutely. Certainly. I would get them a gift, something they could enjoy together. Of course, you know them better than I but just off the top of my head comes a box of chocolates and a bottle of good Scotch. If that makes your budget faint, how about some popcorn and a 6-pack? Yesterday's Krispy Kremes and a pound of coffee? Acknowledge their event and celebrate it with a gift. Yes. Friends do that - even if they don't need a toaster. Polly

"Sharon" A good friend of mine got engaged a week before Christmas and married

Gifts are always optional ... otherwise they would be called obligations!

Even though your friends don't 'need' any thing, I am sure they would cherish some small token of affection. You could make a special pair of placemats with a romantic theme to celebrate this occasion. What do you WANT to do? Go with your heart. PAT

They may have been married before, but not to each other. I'd give them popcorn and beer and a romantic DVD movie and then I set about making them a wall hanging with their names and the wedding date. They will want to commemorate their day, even if it was simple and low-key.

Without reading what others have wrote. I would get them something small but personal. Maybe a photo album that you covered with nice fabric. A gift certificate to a nice resaurant. Or a movie gift certificate. I don't know about you but I would think some crafty you made yourself would be more appropriate than a large gift. Or maybe take them out and treat them to supper all of you. Just my thoughts. Take Care Joanna Alberta

Make them a quilt. Not a 'needed' sorta traditional wedding gift, just something to show support and your happiness for them.

Here comes the lone voice of dissent again :-)

My husband and I got engaged and married at the courthouse a few weeks later. It was just us and my son who was our witness. It was the second marriage for both of us and we didn't want the whole big wedding thing again. And, that included gifts and all.

Yes, people asked and we did say we didn't need anything. It was nice to be believed.

A good friend would tell you if they are registered anywhere or if you ask what they'd like will either tell you or tell you "nothing". Go with it.

Having dinner together to wish them well is always nice though.

I actually like the picture in a frame idea with a bottle of wine.

I would give them a card but no gift.

I was thinking a big pan of lasagna, myself. Pot of Rigatoni. Everyone needs food and they might be too busy to cook!

You can at least reuse the frame. I don't know. I'd worry about making them something personalized.

I did that for my cousin's 4th wedding. It was during my Cross Stitch period and I made them a sampler. I barely got it done and framed before he was gone and she was on to someone else.

But hey. That' just MY family.

Are we related???

Funny!

I'd send a homemade gift to how my love and support. JMNSHO

Howdy!
