So one of my good buddies who I've known for over 10 years is getting married this summer. I also happen to be in the wedding, as an usher. I'm trying to get a head start on getting him and his bride to be a gift. Mainly because I suck at teh gift giving and I tend to procrastinate. I could go the old standbye route and just get a gift certificate, and I may just do that. But in all honesty that's what they would expect from me. A few points:
1. They already live together in a very nice, new condo. All the appliances and stuff they need they already have.
2. I'm not loaded, and their combined income is much better than mine. I'm thinking something that they'll like but I don't have to sell a liver for.
3. Being as I'm going to be dropping about a hundred on the tux, and probably two hundred on the bachelor party, I'm limiting myself to one hundred for their gift.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm just brainstorming at this point.

Something they register for.

Pay for their wedding night hotel room if they're not leaving for the honeymoon that night.
We had a couple do that for us and we loved it.

Honeymoons are expensive, it's nice to know you have a few more bucks to toss around since hopefully you only do it once.

Do you know what they're planning for a honeymoon?

I'm not sure they worked that out yet. I'll have to check.

That's an idea. Maybe do a group thing and have the guys in the wedding party all throw in or something.

Well if they're going away, you can give them money in the currency of the place they're going to, and that's always nice but feels a little less "cash" like. Getting them something off their registry is a good choice as well, and would be very appreciated by them I'm sure. Another idea is to get some sort of service for them, like a framing at a photo shop for their favorite wedding photo, or a certificate for preserving the wedding dress if you think the bride would be into that, etc.

If it's a Catholic wedding do the following, which by the way will be strictly for your own amusement.
Go to Walmart
Buy a container of plain white out.
Wedding day, get hold of the Groom's shoes.
Use said white out and write the word "Help" on his left sole.
Use said white out and write the word "Me" on his right sole.
Hijinks to follow. We did that to one of my best friends, it was evil and doomed the marriage to fail. But god damn we laughed our f[b][/b]ucking asses off

My priest checked my shoes himself before the service.
The cash thing is a good idea, it feels so good to spend money like you're a bigshot on your honeymoon. Even if it isn't your own.

Ill Second the Cash idea...

While cash seems to be common, it is the most wonderful gift you can give. Honeymoons aside, they're going to need cash for other things as well. Vacations, kids, vacations, rainy day funds, vacations...
Cash is king, baby.
Seriously, there are so many things a newlywed couple has to worry about. Sooner or later they're going to have to fight about money. It happens with everyone. Do what you can to spare them the agony for a little longer.
