Wedding gift ideas

[pinkluna]

We're going to my cousin's wedding in Mexico in a few weeks and I need gift ideas.  Since we're flying I need something small enough and not so fragile that's easy to transport.  I've considered something personalized but it would have to be just their first names (or wedding date) since I'm not sure what their last name situation will be.  They've been living together for years and just had a baby so I'm not sure what all they would need either.   Any unique ideas?

Well, personally I would get a gift card, but I don't think you're looking for that.
There is a store near is where you can get wine and cheese boards with things carved on them. So you could even do a generic one that says "cheers"
Or "happily ever after..."
Looks like things remembered has them. It's flat enough to stick in a suitcase.

Or a personalized cutting board. I suck at gifts like this since most of my ideas you wouldn't want to haul with you. I'm assuming since they are doing a destination wedding they are hoping for cash or gift cards. Otherwise Maybe you could wait and send the gift when you get back? Is that an acceptable thing to do? I know packing to come home with all those presents would be a nightmare.

I would wait.  We had a destination wedding and most of our guests just brought us a card (some had cash or a gift card).  I honestly wouldn't want to bring anything extra home.  My Mom bought us personalized toasting flutes and gave them to me at my shower instead because she didn't want to lug anything there for me to bring back.

They actually live in Mexico, though they are driving a couple hours to their hometown for the wedding. So they'll have room for some gifts but I'd still like to keep it small.

Ahhh...That makes it different then! I like the cutting board idea maybe with their first names and wedding date.

This is a great website.

We got a personalized bowl with our names and our wedding date on it for our wedding and I really love it.
