Inexpensive Wedding Gifts

If you’re like me, you’ve already started to receive a ton of wedding invitations or maybe you’ve already been to a few weddings in the past few months. Hopefully you’ve got a lot of extra cash saved or maybe you don’t. Weddings can be expensive, even for those just attending. Maybe you even have four or five weddings to attend like me. Just one wedding can cut into your finances. From what you are going to wear, travel expenses, and wedding gifts, attending your best friend’s wedding could get pricey. Well if you are on a budget there are still ways to come up with creative gifts that don’t look cheap. Hey it’s the thought that counts right? Here are a few ideas from an article on about.com.

-find out where the couple is going for their honeymoon. If they are going to a beach maybe get them some supplies such as sunscreen and good quality beach towels, or some cute flip flops and put them in a nice bag

-put together a movie night for them. Buy a romantic comedy and throw in some popcorn or candy and maybe a blanket and a big popcorn bowl.

-Is the couple buying their first house? Buy them a subscription to a good do it yourself magazine or any magazine that might be useful to them.

-give them the ingredients for a romantic dinner. Buy some good pasta and sauce and maybe some candles and put it with a special note.

You don’t have to spend a ton of money for a great wedding gift. Many couples register at a few different places and have a wide price range. You may be able to afford some of the items they have registered for. If not, just be creative. Do a search online and talk with other friends to see what they will be bringing. Maybe you could even split a really expensive item with a few people. Don’t let the wedding gift put you into a financial bind. Weddings are always a lot of fun and you shouldn’t have to stress about the gift.
