Engagement/wedding gift advice needed

Just found out a friend I've known for a long time got engaged in June, and her wedding will be this September. It will be a small ceremony with only immediate family, and as far as I know there are no receptions or celebration parties planned.

I talk with her once or twice a year. It has been a long road for her to find the right person, and I am so happy for her. I'm wondering if I should send an engagement and/or wedding card, or if a small gift would be appropriate. This is her second wedding, and she and her fiance have lived on their own for quite awhile so wouldn't need any typical home-type items.

Any thoughts on whether I should just send a card vs. get a small gift? If a gift, any ideas?

  • I think your heart should be your guide.  If you wanted to give them something, I think a gift card to a store they frequent or a restaurant would be perfectly appropriate.  You could even send a "congratulations" card and then offter to take them out some evening to celebrate.
