Your wedding reception is the same day as mine!  I say take the gifts and send them a thank you.  What would be the alternative?  To hand it right back to them and tell them again that you would prefer no presents?  A lot of couples keep the ceremony itself to immediate family only and then invite the rest of the guest to join in the celebration with them.  Gifts are not for the ceremony alone, they are for the unity of the two.  They are for the celebration in general.  Also, many times when the couple expresses the "no gift" preference, it can also be read as "we prefer money."  It's your wedding!  Open a gift or two!  It may even be something the two of you could really use.

I would say you, but then again you already know this and wouldn't be asking right? \nI did three things for my fiance (husband on Saturday) I made him a scrapbook of us and things that have happened since we met, I got him a bride/groom ornament, and I made him a love letter that explains to him how I feel about him.\nYou could get him a watch, or a bracelet. You could buy him a beer mug engraved, you could get him a picture frame. Here are some websites that you could try out fo some ideas.\nhttp://www.poetrygift.com/bridegroom.html\nhttp://www.findgift.com/Occasions/Wedding/Bride-to-Groom\nCongratulations!!!

Believe it or not, I typed LSU Wedding into Yahoo's search engine, and found a website, LSU Dining, that contains wedding menus and wedding packages:\nhttp://appl003.lsu.edu/cas/lsudining.nsf/$Content/Wedding+Packages?OpenDocument\n\nYou might contact the school itself and ask how they handle proms, formal dances, fancy events, etc, and then plan your wedding accordingly.\nhttp://appl003.lsu.edu/cas/lsudining.nsf/$Content/Contact+Us?OpenDocument\n\nHere's someone who actually had an LSU-themed wedding!\nhttp://www.lsu.edu/ambassadors/about/advisor.htm\n\nAnd more:\nhttp://tigerpages.com/espnlsuwedding.html\nhttp://espnradio.espn.go.com/espnradio/marriagemadness/bracket\nhttp://tigerpages.com/\n\nI've even found an LSU wedding plate!\nhttp://stores.homestead.com/hstrial-JRivers1/Detail.bok?no=41\n\nYour wedding colors can be the school colors, which seem to be purple and gold.  Also, you can find metallic confetti of different sports--football, basketball--and/or of the school, and sprinkle them on your tables.  Can you hire a music arranger to create a waltz version of LSU's fighting song or alma mater for you and your intended to dance to?\n\nHave little LSU flags on the tables.  Trim the cake--trim, not paint!--in purple and gold, with the traditional white base.  Create a metallic version of LSU's flag to put on the wall (or is that too tacky?).\n\nPut Sports Wedding on a search engine and see what you find!\n\nAnyway, it's your wedding.  Have fun!\n\nP.S.  Send a portion of your monetary gifts for Hurricane Katrina relief.

this is your day tell them both how you feel and if you want them to both be there ask them to hide their difference for just one day. dont sit them next to each other either at the ceremony or at the reception they dont have to talk to each other or dance together.but i would think they would want what makes you happy. good luck to you and congratulations

As a former wedding coordinator and a great sympathizer with Bride's everywhere I say that it's your day and you should do what will make YOU happy.\nThat being said...you may want to consider a few things.  A medieval themed wedding is a great way to add style to your event as well as bring out a really fun aspect of your personality and interests.\nPurple and gold is not what I would suggest nor would I go with blue and silver either. \nGold would be a WONDERFUL choice as it is the color most often associated with divinity in ancient times.  I also think that gold would be best complemented in a shade of deepest green. It would certainly go well concerning your floral motif.  Flowers, plants, herbs all were very popular back then and by draping the area of the ceremony and reception with them as opposed to going with traditional bougets and table arrangement you could easily move them from these sites and straight to your home.  With loving care and attention theses plants, flowers, and herbs could thrive for a very long time.  What a wonderful parallel to your married life.  The same greenery still alive and flourishing as your love for each other continue to grow and flourish as well!\nGood luck and let me know how it goes!

Wow, beyond what you have already listed, I can't think of anything really. How about buying each other a gift on eBay (limit how much spent) with the idea that you want to send them something they think the other would truly love.\n\nHow about a mutual blog in planning the wedding? That way when the date is close, you can break out your list with all the flower type, colors, location etc. all ready.

www.theknot.com \n\nFirst make your guest list.  One for engagement party (if you're going to have one), one for wedding, one for reception. . . Then, trim it down.  Decide on a budget, then decide if you want to DIY (Do it yourself).  Pick everything from that budget:  The venues, caterers, rentals, dress, accomodations, florals, etc.  Decide on a date before you pick the above mentioned things.  It's easier to schedule a wedding that's at least a year away, because the dates you want are more likely to be open.  I could go on and on. . . just go to the theknot.com, maybe get a coordinator or some software.   You'll be fine, congratulations!!

Oh oh oh, I have a perfect theme for a wedding!\nA wedding. If you want your wedding to be anything else, you are deluding yourself. Sure, it's kinda cute to have a "Hawaiian style" wedding, but it's rather childish; it's fine for a 5th birthday party, but for a wedding?\n\nIf you're really concerned that your wedding will be so boring that it needs a theme, then you've probably already had too many and you should just go to your city building and don't even bother inviting relatives. Otherwise, themes are just plain stupid.\n\nIndoors? Outdoors? The last wedding I went to, the wedding itself was outside and the meal and dancing afterward were inside. It was nice. Of course, the wedding started at about 2pm and ended well after 11pm.

Go to Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc.  I was just in Hobby Lobby the other day trying to get ideas and they had some very nice ones that were already made, you just had to print the info on it.  Or go to Office Max and find some nice paper that would be appropriate for the occasion (maybe even find something with her colors so it seems even more personalized, even if you didn't have to put much time or effort into it)!  As far as the attire goes....just put something on the bottom of the invite that says "Casual attire is recommended."  When it comes down to it, people will not even care how they look...as long as all of the info is there, it should suit you fine!

I agree with the two people up there. Give them something that is useful. Most Irish/Catholic stores have great gift ideas! A horseshoe with an enscription on it would be kind of neat; or anything basically that the bride and groom could have to remember their wedding day. Practical is nice (anyone can buy a blender); but sentimental is better! But before you go to all the trouble to find a Irish/Catholic store, give yourself a bit of a break! I'm sure something that MEANS something and is from the heart, would be just as good! Goodluck! <3

You can if you want to.  A lot of brides do.  I'm getting married in a few weeks and we decided not to exchange gifts just because we don't have the extra money, plus we decided to buy a dog after the wedding.

Oh my gosh!  How beautiful IS THAT going to be :-D!!\nThe leaves will just be changing....BREATHTAKING!\nIdeas?  Hu, well, if you haven't picked our colors yet I would go with brown and yellows or reds and oranges to of-course accent the changing seasons.\nInstead of flower pedals, the flower girl could sprinkle dried fallen oak leaves down the "isle".\nBeautiful white chairs on eather side of the isle with lots of white tuddle ( that see thew stuff)with the wedding colors accented with bows.\nI see the bridesmaids in a strapless gowns with shawls to keep out the cold.  I am going back to the yellows, oranges, golds, reds and browns.  How would black tuxes, black shirts w/ gold ties be...ooh!  and then have your hubby-to-be have a white shirt.\nor a theme of "cow-boy" could be cute, then you can do the hay-bales for seats and keep with the red and gold them.  Have a pig roast and the dance in the barn.  YEEEHAAA!

A nice card would work.  If you aren't that close or don't plan to be a nice card wishing them all the best is proper. Please send in the RSVP card very soon letting them that you will not be there so they won't spend the money for a place setting for you at the reception.

You can never go wrong with flowers! Especially roses. Write (or copy, if you prefer) a cute (preferably funny) poem. Have them delivered to her door by you or somebody else. =) Here's an idea for a card..."If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live a day without you" ... Oh, and don't forget the chocolate! yumm
