Gift Idea?

So my BIL is getting married in May. They do not have anyone really helping them with the wedding cost and they don't think they will be able to take a HM. H was talking to his brother the other night and BIL was asking what we did the night of the wedding and H told him we hired a get-a-way car (escalade with driver) to take us to a hotel. And he said something like they weren't going to be able to do that (i'm guessing because of money). So last night H was saying that instead of us getting them an item off their registry as a gift we could book them a hotel for the night. Which to me sounds like a good idea and we would be willing to spend 250-300 for the night and we found a couple of nice hotels I know they would like. But if I was to give this as a gift to her at her shower how do I tell them thats the gift? I could right it in a card but thats kind of lame. Any ideas?

Re: Gift Idea?

  • Print out confirmation for the hotel & enclose it in the card?  And/or get an inactive key from the hotel & put it in like it's a gift card?

  • why cant u just get something small for the bridal shower and then let me know later what you're getting them as a gift?

    it just seems strange to me to give your wedding gift to them at the shower.

  • I just didn't want to randonmly one day say were getting you a night a hotel for the night of the wedding. I thought we should give it at an actualy gift giving time. Like at the shower.

  • Why don't you make a card for them and put that their wedding gift is one night at a hotel.  I don't know how crafty you are, but I create cards in Word with cute pictures, etc., and print it on cardstock.

  • I think for the shower be traditional and get her an actual gift but tell them in private that you guys have decided to get them a room for the night.

  • You could do a small traditional gift and put the hotel info inside that gift and on the card put something about looking inside the gift for more. Just an idea!
