Is this it?\n\nA Basket of Candles For (bride and groom’s names)\n\nA basket of candles that come in a pair in all different colors for you two to share. \n\nThe white ones burn first as you begin your new life at home together as husband and wife. \n\nBurn the green pair next and hope no one is thinner after serving the first guests you have over for dinner. \n\nThe dark blue candles are for after your first fight Use them to burn while making up all night. \n\nRed candles set the mood and pave the way for your first married Valentine’s Day. \n\nNow, when your first year of marriage is through, the cream anniversary pair will light for you two. \n\nAnd in time we hope, maybe, just maybe you can light the purple ones on the birth of your baby. \n\nCongratulations (bride and groom’s names) on the start of your forever.

If you are the maid of homor you should be in charge of organizing the bridal shower. You have to vhooose a theme for the bridal shower I.e. Lingerie, kitchen stuff, silly stuff, etc.\n\nTthe gift in the bridal shower doesn't have to be expensive, since you are still obligated to give them a gift for the wedding. Tha idea of a bridal shower is a rather informal and intimate gathering. The idea is to have fun and to be silly too. If you choose to have a theme and have gifts along that theme for instance" "household" , "gardening", "lingerie" "kitchen" etc. \n\nI hope this helps.

A bridal shower is NOT for things a bride will need on her honeymoon, unless the invitation clearly states that it's a lingerie shower.  The purpose of a bridal shower is to "shower" the couple with things they will need to equip their new home.  Showers and weddings are two separate events so that means two separate gifts.  Just get what you can afford, no one expects you to bankrupt yourself over gifts.\n\nI got a copy of The Joy Of Cooking at my shower and it's still one of my favorite gifts 12 years later.  I use it weekly.  Paula Deen on the Food Network has a really good gift idea.  She recommends that you give your favorite recipe and get everything together that you need to make the recipe including the pan.\n\nIf you have someone that you can go in on a gift with, I highly recommend a KitchenAid KFPW760OB 700-Watt 12-Cup Food Processor. It's about $200 at Amazon. I use this all the time.\n\nSome other things I use all the time are my crockpot and toaster oven. My husband and I use our toaster oven literally every day. Get the Black and Decker that holds a 12" pizza. I recommend a Versaware Crockpot.

Well, I know this isn't a HUGE AWESOME gift. But it could just be a SIDE gift. I'm currently 14 and I gave my brother this when he graduated from high school and he loved it. And it's a common gift for graduations too. "Oh The Places You'll Go!" by Dr.Suess. It's extremely meaningful.

I have been in your situation.  And while you do have a year to give a gift, it didn't feel right to me to be at the wedding without a gift.  \n\nHere's what I did.  I bought a bottle of champagne and a couple of candles.  I put them in the same box with a suggestive note about the honeymoon.\n\nAnother time I took a look at the registry and discovered the couple had actually picked some smaller, more affordable items (salt & pepper shakers, sheets).\n\nDon't sweat it.  These are friends, and surely don't expect large gifts from everyone.

Flowers are nice. Depends on how secure he is and if he actually likes flowers. I like the thought behind the gift much more than the gift. If someone remebered that I said I liked something once. Or paid attention to things I like and got some (like Zero brand candy bars) Stuff like that. But that's just me.

Bath&body works gift set. I used to get these from my older sister, and I loved them! Every girl loves some great smelling lotion and bath stuff.\nOtherwise tickets to the movie theatre and a card saying you'll drive would be nice too.

I am a part-time event and wedding coordinator.  This is the information I give to clients.\n\nFor close friends/family; it is expected that a wedding gift will be in the neighborgood of $75 to $100 (or more depending upon the relationship).\nFor a friend/work associate/lesser acquaintance; $40 to $60\n\nShower gifts are typically in the range of $25 to $35 dollars no matter what the relationship.  If you are hosting a shower, it is not necessary for you to give an additional gift because the shower is considered your gift.\n\nIt is customary for the shower gift to cost less than the wedding gift.  Remember that the bride and groom will be appreciative of whatever you give.\n\nGood luck!\n\nCheers,\nShauna

Last year my then future daughter-in-law got me a beautiful candle holder with scented candles, we had a great relationship before they got married and continue to grow in our relationship. I have a great respect for her love of my son and she never forgets that I am his mom. Good luck.
