Yet another wedding gift...?
I am going to a friends wedding... travel expenses are costing about $500, ive heard when you have to travel the bride & groom dont usually expect a big ticket gift... I dont want to show up empty handed... so I was thinking of purchasing for them a wine decanter w/ two wine glasses and have them engraved. Should i write a quote on the decanter or just stick to my orginal thought of having their initials engraved on the set? Ideas and suggestions... please. :)

I like the initials idea. BTW, that's a very nice gift. Nobody got us anything like that and since my wife and I are both wine afficionados, we would have enjoyed it.

Seriously, save your money. Don't buy wine glasses. They will get so many of them at the wedding that they will go "more wine glasses" and set them aside. If they have a registry, you should pick something off the registry to purchase for them, even if it's inexpensive. If you don't know what to buy off the registry, you should get them a gift certificate for $25-$50 for one of the stores that they are registered with. If they are not registered anywhere, giving them $25-$50 in a card in cash would be much more appreciated than wine glasses. You could even get one of those little maze games, or one of those cash boxes where you tape the bills together to put the money in, so it's more than just cash.
If you are dead set on getting them wine glasses, then don't have them engraved with their name, choose a quote instead. I guarantee they will get other wine glasses that are personalized.

I would stick with their initials or even maybe their first names and the wedding date. I love the quote idea but you never quite know a person's taste with quotes or if they will like it in years to come. Names and date is nice because it never goes out of style!

Actually you are supposed to "arrive empty handed." In spite of the fact that so many people do it it is poor form to hand carry a wedding gift to the event.
Etiquette dictates that you have the wedding gift delivered to the bride's address.
You may of course choose whatever gift you wish.
