The Gifts
Your friends have most likely registered their happy day at one or more retailers so that guests can pick out a gift from their registry. Select a gift from their registry that not only fits into your budget but is also something that no one else has already purchased. If your friends have not registered their wedding at any retailers then you should take the time to carefully select a gift for the newlyweds. Pick a gift ...
... that speaks from your heart; a gift that is a reflection of the happiness that you feel for their happiness! If your friends have a love for a shared hobby then perhaps a gift related to their favorite hobby. In general you can't go wrong with house wares or gift certificates; however, if you do purchase something that is not off of their registry then be sure to include a gift receipt - just in case!
During The Wedding
During the wedding and the reception it is important to remember that the wedding that you are attending is no different from any other wedding where two people are committing their lives and their love to one another. As a celebration of your friends love and their commitment for one another you should be sure that you take the time to congratulate them after the ceremony!
