Wedding gift - they ask for currency, can i jsut give then a huge champage bottle?

[BrendaandEddie]

No time to dick about with foreign exchange and they are too old to be given cash IMO
I have met bride once, H knows groom. WEedding ( evening do only ) an hours drive away etc

will huge champers thing do"?

Doesn't sound like you like them much - why not just stay home?

I'd give them cash - less hassle and they might not want a huge bottle of champagne.

i HAVE to go ( cant explain on here), they are nice but i dont really know them etc

even if I wasnt going would still need to find gift

sent a POEM

dont ask

How much would this huge bottle of champagne cost you? Is it one you have in the house already?

no but I have seen double ones ( whatever they are called) in Waitrose.

Or just a single

Or any other ideas. the thing about champagne is that it is disposable - not more stuff for them when they have a home already

or a JL voucher?

It seems so BLUNT, ' oh look brenda and eddie gave us £50' iykwim

A bottle of champagne is fine. I wouldn't get a double one though.

ok

the other thing I thought of was that book I often give for 50th - place to see before I die

but thats stuff and a bit morbid

I'd give cash (always do).

What is so difficult about popping in the post office?

Send them sterling and they can sort out the exchange. A magnum of champagne would be annoying to me at least

Just pop in m&s instead of waitrose and get the equivalent in currency of choice

I'd give cash or champers, not a book or anything else that could clutter. Not a massive champers, just normal.

If you need to do a currency exchange, are they from abroad? In which case money or vouchers is sensible imo, rather then things they'd have to drag on a plane.

i havent time to get there before

I actually think in this scenario cash would be easiest! Save yourself the hassle and just give them what they want (unless you already have the champers, in which case that's easier!)

A bottle of champagne is fine.
not everyone likes champagne.
walk into post office with your credit/debit card ask for foreign money, pay with card.
No more effort than buying champagne they don't want.

Don't do anything your H is the one who knows them so it's his problem

post office in TOWN
its a hassle - just trust me on that

Oh or is this currency for a honeymoon?

Give them one of these, I think it's worth about £50
