<p>As said upthread, we often get crystal votive candle holders (with gift card of varying amount depending on age/status of couple and formality of wedding). However a few years ago we went to a 3rd wedding for a dear friend and were captivated by beautiful geode bookends in a gift shop. We knew it was something they didn’t already have.</p>
<p>If she’s changing her last name, something with “Mr and Mrs XYZ” or just the last name or initial would be nice. Return address embosser, monogrammed bath/hand towels, welcome mat…</p>
<p>Thanks for the ideas, Colorado and Axw. I really wish they’d register and be done with it.</p>
