Wedding present ideas

[NoNeedToWorryAboutAThing]

One of my close friends is getting married in a few weeks time. They are 69 and 63.

They are very comfortably off financially so don't 'need' anything and, at their ages, have everything you'd traditionally give anyway!

They're not having a traditional wedding - a private ceremony and then a celebratory meal for around 20 in the evening - to which my daughter and I have been invited.

There is no suggestion at all of a gift list but I feel I want to get something.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I think I would just get them a very nice bottle of champagne. Any "thing" you buy will probably gather dust.

Nice idea. Yes I thought the same about 'things'.

I'm not sure she drinks. I've never seen her do so. But it's a nice idea. Thanks

What about a restaurant voucher or voucher for afternoon tea?

I was thinking some sort of voucher. Do they have a hobby? Anything they enjoy doing together?
Spa day? Thai massage for couples? As pp said voucher for a restaurant?

Flowers, vine/champagne and a voucher would be perfect I think

Fortnum and mason breakfast hamper would be a nice treat x

I would ask if they have a list or a preferred charity.

If no to both, then a good borrow (or crate) of their preferred booze, or a voucher for somewhere that covers a multitude of stuff such as John Lewis

Agree with a hamper or a voucher for an experience day, something consumable which doesn't take up space

What about a voucher for a cookery class that they could do together?

Garden centre voucher?

Take photos at wedding & send the nicest one framed?

I would say a restaurant voucher. Or if they are in to gardening then a tree/rose bush to mark the occasion.

Champagne
If they are keen gardeners a voucher for their local garden centre or Crocus online,
M&S or Fortnums hamper
Restaurant voucher

I’m intrigued that you don’t know whether a close friend drinks or not?

A restaurant voucher for somewhere you know they like/would like.

That's what I'd do

Not everyone drinks or talks about drinking

Don’t get them anything that involves them having to make an effort of book something, or go and do something they may not want to do. Hamper = good. Couples massage = not so good. Agree with hamper, flowers, tree or bush type thing, charity donation, a few bags of really nice coffee if they’re into coffee (I would love that).

Do they have a garden ? A special palnt or (small) tree might be nice.

Especially something that flowers this time of year?

Charity donation.

There’s a climbing rose called Wedding Day which would be lovely if they have a garden.
Or a wedding word cloud? (Not sure if this would be considered a bit naff!)

I’m roughly in this age range and about to get married . A restaurant voucher would be my preference .

I got married last month, we got gifted an afternoon tea voucher, a voucher for a spa hotel, a posh picnic lunch hamper and vouchers for a local restaurant. Other then the spa hotel and afternoon tea we have plans for the more local ones and have to decide what to do re the spa and afternoon tea (not local and will cost us almost the value of the gift to get there/use it)
