civil ceremony gift ideas
my cousin is having a civil wedding ceremony with just her family next month and then planning on having a full on wedding/reception in 2012. I want to get her and her fiance a little something. Any ideas or suggestions?
Re: civil ceremony gift ideas
Consider what they may need vs if there is something within your budget that would be an 'extra' for them. Is this a new household or combining 2 into one household?
I like the First Christmas ornament idea.
Nice bottle of wine if they indulge in wine... maybe glassware or accessories?
Has she mentioned anything that caught their eye? Ask her mom?
Meh.
There are two ways of looking at this.
If you want to do the right thing, you send along the same gift you would for any marriage. Size and catering have no impact on the validity of a marriage.
If you want to gamble, you could wait until her pretty princess day to deliver. In my experience, these marry in haste, party at leisure have a higher failure rate which could work in your favor. I don't know the details, but often a quickie marriage is driven by pregnancy, LTR or military service in young couples- these tend to be at risk marriages.
her having a civil ceremony has nothing to do with all those reasons you just listed. so if i give her a present for this ceremony, does it mean i should get her another big gift when she has her reception?
