What is a good wedding present for a mature couple who have lived together in their home for 4 years.?

Question

My friend is getting married. He is 43, and she is 36. They have lived together in a house that they built for a few years now. What are some good ideas for wedding gifts?

Answer 1

Well if you can get away to do this:  Take some digital pics at the wedding of the bride and groom.  Then before the reception quickly stop and get them printed.  Pick the nicest one and blow it up to a 8 x10 and put it into a beautiful picture frame that you have purchased just for this.

Your pictures will be the first they have since they'll have to wait for the pictures from the photographer and the framed picture they can enjoy immediately.

Answer 2

I went through something similar to this with a close family friend,  I ended up getting them a throw blanket and embroidered their names and the date on it.  They loved it.

Answer 3

What is their place like?  Is there anything that they need?  (Ie plants for the garden was a good idea)

I heard someone mention that they got a gift of a housecleaner.  Now - I don't know about your friends, but I would absolutely love a gift like that!!!

I think the theatre tickets is a really good idea if they are into that.  Maybe tickets to a comedy club?  Depends what they are into.  Even a gift voucher for a lovely restaurant would be nice.

You know them better than we do so you know what they like.  Make it something personal that you know they will enjoy and it will be fine.

Answer 4

The throw blanket is a good idea!  

I would give them a gift certificate to a great restaurant, and tell them to go have a wonderful meal on you.  

Answer 5

A fruit tree or some rose bushes for their yard.

Answer 6

A gift certificate for a live theater venue.
