What can I send as a present to a venue for someone I used to work with?

And is that even OK?

Someone I worked with a long time ago is having a wedding party. She's much, much younger than me, but we've kept in touch through Facebook. It's been lovely seeing her reach her life and career goals.

She's had a shit time in the last year. New DH was diagnosed with leukaemia just about a week after announcing engagement, but they dug in and got on with treatment, always cheerful on the outside and thankfully he's OK. They had a much smaller wedding than anticipated, whilst he was still having treatment and now for the big wedding/all clear party.

She's invited me, which is lovely of her, but unfortunately I can't go. I'd love to sent them something though. The venue is a couple of hours away from us, so I can't drop it I on the day, but do you think I could send it to them? Maybe call ahead at the venue and tell them?

That'll be OK, won't it?

Oh and what do I send. Ideas please! Grin. Not massive budget. It's just a token acknowledgment.

Can you not send it to their home address ?
I'd have thought that was more secure than sending it to a venue.

Really difficult to know what though, without knowing the couple nor your budget, if they don't have a list.
What about a plant (if they have a garden?) or pot for their patio ?

Is it even possible to do like the old days and send a telegram?? I think that's so old school and lovely.
Failing my pensioner tendencies, send or order a bottle of nice champagne for the top table?
