Favorite Wedding Gift ?
We have 7 weddings this summer... and I was wondering what everyones favorite wedding gift was?
Re: Favorite Wedding Gift ?
Depends on how much you want to spend. My favorite favorite gift was the KitchenAid mixer. Otherwise, I loved anything personal, but that can easily become the "ohmygod, so not my taste" kind of gift too
I'd stick to the registries, and maybe add in a nice bottle of wine?

I love this idea! We usually go buy a red wine call "monogamy," and give some cash. In the past we have given an engraved door knocker for their house, etc. Or stick to the registry....it is, after all, why the made a registry.
Please stick with the registry. They'll get enough off-registry crap they don't need or want from other people.
That said, my favorite wedding gift was my knife block.

I was so happy with linens because we needed new towels and sheets desperately when we got married. Also new silverware, dishes, and some other kitchen items.
I sold the gifts I couldn't stand on eBay.
For the most part, I agree with sticking to the registry, especially for the couples that you aren't really close to. You have to know someone really well to pick out an off-registry gift that they would like.
Most of our off-registry gifts were not things we wanted or weren't to our taste. That being said, my favorite gift was not on our registry. My aunt & uncle bought us lefse-making supplies (grill, pastry board, potato ricer, turning stick, rolling pin), and I love it! Of course, it came from someone who knows us well enough to know that we both love lefse and would really enjoy that gift.

My bridesmaids all paid for us to go deepsea fishing on our honeymoon, hands down favorite gift!
I was really happy to get our linens, and our silverware. Both things we really really needed. Target gift cards were awesome too, we got new bikes and a grill with those.
I usually buy a bottle of decent champagne and put on 3 $15 giftcards to restaurants in their area. Not enough for a dinner out, but enough to get them in the door and out on a date night. I like to try to find places I know they haven't gone to, or somewhere special to them already.
