Wedding gift

[kissmyfatass]

Not invited to wedding or evening. Not surprised or expected.

I want to give a card though but should I put money in it.

Not a friend as such more like a neighbour

Send a card only.

Card and champagne?

Card only.

Feels a bit mean to just give a card. It’s a young couple and I’m chuffed to bits for them.

Well, ask for details and give them a bank transfer then.

Card and a bottle of wine or a voucher?

For my neighbours daughter who was early 20s when she married (lovely couple) I gave them a card with a €50 note inside saying for a drink/treat on honeymoon (they were going for a long weekend in Rome)

For others I've given a £50 or £100 M&S voucher figuring you can buy all sorts there

Why? You don’t have to give them anything.

I’m going to put some cash in the card. Just wanted to check it wasn’t weird.

A card & a bottle of something is nice. Maybe a plant or similar instead - something nice but not too permanent! Personally, Id not give money or a voucher in these circumstances.

I got cards and presents from neighbours who had seen me growing up. They were all outside to see me set off from my parents' house on the day. A really elderly widowed lady gave me a silver cake slice and knife that she had received as a wedding present many years before. Another gave me salad tongs, again they had been a wedding gift to her. I think those presents meant more than anything else! Both ladies are long deceased but I always think of them if I am using cake knife or salad tongs!
A wee bit of cash in the envelope with the card will likely be welcomed and appreciated.

I'd do cash or an M&S / JL giftcard, between £25 and £50 depending on budget and how well you know them. Not a bottle unless you know for definite they will drink it (we don't drink any sparkling wines but have been given many bottles of them over the years).

It's weird.

A small gift would be better.
