What about a honeymoon gift card? Something off their registry?

no registry
no idea about HM

wedding is a couple months away
this is for an e-party. (we're not comfortable giving cash - DH feels it'll just "fund their wedding")

that's always a great gift - but the wedding is literally 3 months away! useless at this point.

eparty is soon
i'm assuming shower will follow shortly
wedding is in 3 months.

it's a lot.

GC to macy's or target
who doesn't love or shop at targetChat Icon ?

hmmm...GC to a nice restaurant near where they live and say its to destress from all the weddingplanning

i personally don't like to give out toasting flutes or cake servers...What if they had their eyes set on another pair and then feel obligated to use the ones that were bought for them....kwim?

I was given a really unique salad set made from granite - it is actually one of my favorite things and I use it all the time. I have no idea where the person found it, but maybe you could find a unique kitchen item or serving set.

vase, frame, or Redenvelope has this thing. It is a couples firt cookbook for two and it comes with aprons with thier names on it. I think they say Mr. XXX and Mrs. XXX. It is kind of nice.

A digital photo frame? If it is a good friend, you could even pre-load it with some special pics of you guys with the couple?
Best part of this is that you can get it at BBB with a 20% off coupon Chat Icon

It's a lot less than $100, but for the past 2 engagements I've been giving those signs that say "The XYZ Family established 2008" I get them off ebay and both times they said it was their fave gift.

I would get something from Tiffany's. They have beautiful crystal bowls in that price range.
