[QUOTE="nvts, post: 181896, member: 3814"] Hi! No matter what, it feels like a real wedding for them. Since she'll be moving out to wherever he goes, why not go for fun yet sensible on the gift thing. For bridal showers/wedding gifts I used to put together a "salad". I go to a cheapo store and buy a salad bowl and the fork and spoon to "toss" the salad and then depending on how much money you want to give, you get the cash in singles and fives. Crumple up the money and put it in the salad bowl (lettuce). If you're feeling particularly creative, take some red felt and cut circles. Stitch around the edges (believe me, this part doesn't take a lot of sewing talent, I bleed more than I stitch when it comes to hemming let alone sewing), place some coins in the middle and pull the thread so it closes like a drawstring bag. Stitch on a little raggety green felt on the top and you have tomatos. You can make carrots, etc. A little cellophane wrap to cover and VOILA! salad! This way they have a salad set for meals and cash to fill it. BUT it looks like you took time out for them (literally minutes! lol!). People used to offer me money to make these for showers and weddings that they were going to. Either way, have a good time. Remember, they're young, dumb and "in-love"! Beth [/QUOTE]
