Evening invite-Present??

rebelchick2

Hi Guys,

I go to a lot of Weddings with my partner and usually give a present to the value of €200, money/Voucher or present depending on what the couple want!
We have been invited to the afters of a friend from School in the next few weeks and I am not sure what to bring or how much I should give. Any ideas?

Thanks.

A nice photo frame is always a good idea, I got a georgeous crystal one for like 30 euro for my aunts wedding and she loved it. Another was a simple silver frame with 2 rings on the bottom. Both went down really well

Gosh you'd be very generous to give 200 or equivalent!

I'd stick a 50 in a card tbh. Obv it depends how close you are to the couple. If you don't see them often I'd scale down!

€50, bosh.

No disrespect, Cutie18, but OP- don't do this!

People will be inundated with "nice" frames in silver and crystal. I'd say you're best steering clear of them, wine glasses, bowls, vases or ornaments etc. Each guest thinks that their frame/ vase, etc. is going to be "unique" but I think it's just another dreaded thing to put in the attic, TBH.

Just throw a few quid in a card.

€50 in a card is what I've always given for an afters. I know it's nicer to get a present but with a €50 limit it's hard to get something nice. And I know at my own wedding we got three large photoframes which are lying empty on the shelves as we haven't quite got around to printing out photos that will fit them.

A bottle of champagne or a gift token for a nice lunch or meal. A girl from work gave a couple who got married a 50 euro gift voucher for the local cinema. The couple love the cinema and it went down very well.
