A very good friend is getting married...and I have gift problems,...

You didn't say how much time you have, but when my friend was getting married, I found this site: http://www.personalizationmall.com/Personalized-Photo-Albums-Love-Memories-p11273.prod?sdest=dept&sdestid=1145&storeid=7&categoryid=1145 I got her a monogram picture frame in colors that match her wedding colors and she absolutely loved it. If I remember correctly, they shipped it pretty quick, but I don't know how quick you will get it in your country.. Or if you really want to give them your project, and since you did say you are very good friends, than I think a nice card with a note explaining their gift is delayed would be acceptable.

It is good to receive gifts on the occasion itself, however if you really cannot do it on the occassion it would still be appreciated when you can give it on late, i know they will understand, it's just a gift you know it will not cost you your friendship if you give it late... There's a saying that goes better late than never..

They are your friends so they will understand why it would be late. On the second thought, being late in giving a gift has its advantage. You can ask them what were those that were given to them. And you can give them an item they need which wasn't amongst those given to them as gifts.

Yeah they are your friends and they will surely understand your delay and as far as you wish well for them and love them with your heart. I think you must wait and give them late and yes you can ask them what they have not got. In weddings many gifts and repeated and I am sure they can tell you what they lack. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Hi, If I were you, I will buy something just to make it on time. I feel giving the gift after the wedding is meaningless, though the couple may understand it. Just my opinion, have a good time!

just recently we gave a gift to my brother in law's wedding week later, they still appreciated it and they understood what is our reason of giving them gift later than it's supposed to,...in my opinion it is always better on time than late, but it is also better late than never....

Since you intend on making something for your friends, I am sure they will understand. If you don't want to go to the wedding empty handed you could buy something small that matches what your making for them. I know that is like giving two gifts so it may seem unnecessary. Another option is make a photo album or a video of what you are making - a small one and show where you are in the making of it leaving the last images open to show that it is not complete. That way they have the gift you will give them and a how it was made.

I don't think that you have to spend a lot of money on gifts to make them special. If you have known them for a long time then you could always get some photos together of the two of them before they knew each other and then of their relationship together and put them into an album. That wouldn't cost very much money at all, but it would probably mean a lot more than anything else that you could give to them. A friend of mine has just done this for my birthday because he is having money issues, but I will say that it was my absolute favourite present of all.

What I would do is take something small along with a note inside letting them know that the main gift is still coming. That will give them something to look forward to and will also let them know that you did actually put in some effort.

Hi Kostas, I would definately buy something for the wedding unless you want to give them money with gift soon coming...

Well I did say buy a little something so that you feel like you have something on the day...But remember weddings cost and everyone can use money...thts why the bride have a money bag she walks around with so she collects her envelopes... It was just a suggestion...

Good Day, I am not certain if it is I or not, but it seems you are MAKING them a gift? Reading the posts it seems you are going to be purchasing one for them.Either way I think your friend will be fine with you giving the gift later. I would give them a card and perhaps a note that says you are making them their gift and it is not ready yet.If, indeed you are making them a gift, then it really will be specail and I think they will enjoy it when they receive it. Personal gifts are unique and to me more special and worth waitng for.

for me you should buy something to make it on time,but if your friend is a good one,could understand your situation..

I'm sure they would like whatever it is you are doing for them and it will mean a lot to them when they get it... more thoughtful then just giving them money or something else just because you need a gift. They are your friends and they will understand. Just give them a card and write in there that you are working on something special and you are sorry that it is delayed. You could always get a small gift with the card explaining and then give them your real gift later.

Well, I never had time to have to do a wedding gift for someone, because my relatives to those who were married, the gift we have always, until now thought of my parents. Putting myself in your shoes, however, I think you should have a good reason that prevents you from doing them the gift in the established time. In my opinion, when the gifts of other people are there already and all your missing, well, let me tell you no go out very well. This, however, is the result of my personal opinion.

I think you should wait and give the right gift when you are ready! Your friend will understand, its better to buy something that represents you even if it is a bit late, than get something very common that won't be what you really wanted to take for the couple! I think that with today's economy everyone has problems and don't worry, I don't think you ll look stupid! You ll just be honest!

Give therm a gift coupon,so that they can buy something of their choice,rather than giving them something which they do not want.If they are special,give them something that will make them remember you always.A small oriental rug will be the best.
