If you're stumped on what to get a couple for a gift, there are a few
options:
1. find out from a member of the bridal party or family member if they
have a registry
2. Find out what there interests are and make or buy something that
represents those interests
3. Look around your own home to find something that's been very useful
to you...and get that as a gift to the couple
4. The Precious Moments cross-stitch is a good idea as well...if you
truly aren't sure whether or not it will be done in time...how about
making up a small ornament with their names, and the year...then
enclosing a small poem such as: This is just a sampler
Of things to come
Pick out a pattern
And it will be done!
Or something to that effect anyways! Feel free to change it to suit your
needs.
5. Check the wedding newsgroups often. There have been some very
creative and excellent gift ideas (such as the framing of the invitiation
idea) and I'm sure they and new ones will show up as well.

Hope these help!

Hi!
I don't know about you, but as much as I love cross stitch, I would never
want anyone to do one for me. I guess I'm kind of picky about that kind
of stuff and there is so much work involved. I would want to make sure
the bride and groom *loved* the pattern before I put that kind of time
investment into it.
Just my HO!

I think your wedding gift depends on your knowledge of the couple. Are
they older or younger? Is it a first marriage? For instance, I am only 21
and I've never been married before, so I'm asking for practical houshold
items that I will need, like a mixer, tupperware, a sewing machine, a
vacuum, dishes and silverware, etc. But an older bride or groom probably
has these things already.
Another thing I would like to have is sexy lingerie, but this wouldn't be
appropriate for every bride. I think a cross-stitch is a lovely idea; I
think gifts always mean more when they're hand-made.
Good luck,
ahenry

I think one thing that is good to remember is that the bride and groom
live in the real world... This is to say that although your cross
stiching may be beautiful, one cannot cook with, sit on, sleep on, or
eat off of pretty things to go on the walls. This is the reason that
people register, so that you will know what they need and want, no
guessing. If they haven't registered, go for the practical. This way
your gift will not end up in the "we never used it, and its been
taking up storage space for ten years, ... but it was a wedding
present and we can't throw it away" pile.

Just to offer a different opinion, if someone took the time, effort, &
talent to make me something by hand, I would be flattered. It would have
have more sentimental value IMHO than, say, a blender. Guess it just
shows that tastes differ & hopefully you have a sense of what your friends
would like.
