any ideas for a wedding gift?

why would you want to disrespect their request for no gifts? if you really feel you must get them something, then a lovely card with a check or cash in it, or send them something to their home prior to the wedding which they can use on their destination wedding/honeymoon if they wish.

many couple who are having destination weddings request no gifts because they feel that their guests paying to attend the wedding is gift enough. be sure they will not be offended and that the other guests will not be embarrassed if you gift them. it would not do to have a gift become a source of discomfort.

Bringing a gift to a destination wedding can be a burden on the bride and groom. They asked for no gifts and if several people go ahead and bring a gift anyway, then the bride and groom have to schlep the gifts back home and pay for extra luggage to check in at the air port. Please do not put them in that position. Send the gift to the bride either before or after the wedding as it is the only courteous thing to do.

No gifts for a destination wedding. I say no cash/check/giftcard either. I personally find the request of "money tree" tacky and presumptuous. I LOVE the idea of disposable camera. You lug it home and pay to develop. Give a digital & hard copy (in a small album) to the couple on their 1st month anniversary. You will most likely capture different moments than others or the professionals.

Can't you send or take the gift to them before or after the wedding?

They have requested no gifts . . . so they very obviously do not want to be lugging gifts back from a destination wedding in their luggage. Respect that, please.

Easiest thing to do? Put your check in a pretty card and mail it to them. Or get them a gift card, and mail it to them . . . before wedding takes place.

Or wait until they return from the honeymoon, and bring a good bottle of champagne to their home. Or a terrific plant or rose bush.

If the bride and groom requested that you not bring gifts, do what they ask and give them money only! It's their day not yours, and you should always respect their wishes, and not to mention money doesn't weight nothing at all.

I would give them cash. I normally give the couple a picture frame with cash in it (practical and sentimental at the same time). Almost any destination that a wedding will be held at will have places selling frames so no worries about packing. Just be careful traveling with money.

I know they probably have a photographer, but what about a disposable digital camera? They are small, and light weight and you could even buy it there. Take candid shots of them and their wedding and either get the pics developed yourself or give them the camera as a gift. Telling them of course that you took some memory shots for them of the occasion.

Money is always and option and a lot of ppl thk its tacky but really it isnt thk about all the money ppl shell out on weddings. Money would be a small token to help them. Also, you can ask some wedding gifts suggestion sites for suggestions.

if you really have to bring them something, a check. fit in your pocket, light-weight, and something a new couple could always need. If you find that tacky, then follow the bride and groom's wishes to NOT bring a gift.

You can gift a pair of wrist watches, like a couple set. Not heavy, fits in your suitcase, is tacky but memorable.
