What is an appropriate gift for someone getting married?

HELP! A good friend of mine is getting married and I have no clue what they want, or do they need anything?
She never mentioned that she was registered anywhere and it wasn’t in the invitation…
So I was thinking about getting them a set of Waterford crystal wine goblets.(2 piece). Is this a nice gift, or is it unnecessary?
No related posts.
That definitely is a nice idea. However, later they might want an entire set and choose something entirely different…then the two goblets would just be tokens in their curio cabinet.
So, even though she hasn’t mentioned a registry, I’d recommend asking. It’s inappropriate to mention gifts on an invitation and that may be why she hasn’t mentioned it. Instead, she may rely on word getting around.
That sounds very pretty and elegant I would be happy to recieve them.
that is a nice gift!!! but you might want to get them something that they will continue to use.. not for the occassional romantic dinner…farberware pot set.. jc penny usually have good sale on them… you can alo get a spa certificate for the both of them to enjoy… mmud bath, deep tissue massage manicure pedicure…
Check common registries by searching for her name. If nothing comes up, and you don’t want to ask her mom or someone close to her, money is the best option.
Goblets are fine for an engagement gift (even though they might get fifty pairs of toasting flutes because people think they can use THEIR set at the wedding), but by the time the wedding rolls around they will have everything they need for that night.
Get her something she needs or could use.
My freinds bridal shower she got a basket of canldes of many colors and each color has a meaning here is the poem. put the poem on nice piece of paper you can get nice paper with pics at the dollar tree.
A basket of candles that come in a pair,
of all different colors, for you two to share.
The white ones burn first, they are wrapped in white lace,
to celebrate the first night in your new chosen place.
The mauve pair is smaller, and thinner,
they burn with your first company over for dinner.
There are candles to burn Christmas Eve, before bed,
your first Christmas married, that’s why they are red.
The navy candles are for your first fight;
use them to burn when making up all night.
Pink candles will set the mood and pave the way
for your very first married Valentine’s Day.
Now when your first year of marriage is through,
the Ivory anniversary pair will light for you two.
By this time we hope maybe, just maybe,
you could burn the yellow ones on the birth of your baby.
And just when you thought you could put these away;
take the light blue ones for your fifth anniversary day.
Now just one pair left for the big “25″,
the anniversary pair that will keep your love alive.
So congratulations both of you on the start of your “forever”,
may the two of you always be happy together.
And burn these candles just like I said,
but please don’t forget…blow them out before bed!
