Second wedding present

I got my cousin a seat pergola and roses with gold in their name. I nearly got them got a Jack and Jill seat with a golden parasol which I had seen at another golden wedding.

A voucher for a really nice weekend break (I’ve never been into the spa stuff but they might be, I wouldn’t include that unless you know) or a voucher for a good wine merchant?

I would definitely make a donation to a charity.

We recently went to a Ruby Wedding, no gifts was specified.
I will buy a rose to plant in their lovely garden when I see them next.

We spent our Golden alone in Gretna Green - our daughters insisted they must do something, we asked them to have roses planted. Lovely!

Garden vouchers or wine is a good call.
I was thinking of a wedding rose for their garden which is lovely.

If people say they don’t want anything, I think that’s what they mean.

Perhaps ask if you can make a donation to a charity of their choice?

We went to a wedding that specified no presents, and we donated to our local Air Ambulance charity in lieu, which I mentioned in our thank you letter to the couple.

Good point. They’ve never mentioned a charity that’s close to them . What they don’t want is money towards a honeymoon which is what many couples ask for .

Hi,
We’re going to a friends wedding later this month , it’s a second wedding for both of them , so they’ve said they don’t want anything. However several other friends who are guests are getting them something. Does anyone have any ideas ? I was thinking of an experience. Thanks

Our daughter, a widow with children, near 60, married recently. We gave the party, that qualifies as a nice experience, I think.

My single brother, married prior with no children, is marrying a widow with a grown child, we're just holding another party - experiences are lovely for people who have more than everything, want for nothing.

Garden Centre vouchers are usually well received. Or how about a voucher from a reputable wine company - Laithwaites offer some excellent choice.

I’m going to a wedding in August (older couple- both been married before). I’ve given them a voucher for a night in a lovely hotel with evening meal, breakfast and a spa treatment. A lot of guests are giving money but they don’t need it and I really don’t like the idea of putting cash in a card. It might be worth asking them if there’s something they would like or need.
