A bridesmaid/groomsman gift that I've seen and thought was cool was pocket bartender from Sharper Image.  I've seen them other places too.  Would fit the laid back and alcohol aspects.

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. May the two of you always be happy together. \n\nAnd burn these candles just the way it is said, but please don’t forget…blow them out before bed!

Honestly, he is already leaving the wedding with the best present he could ever ask for, you!  At least that is how I feel about my upcoming wedding (5 days from today :D:D:D ).  As far as gifts, get him something that will show him just exactly how you feel about him.  Although guys do nto often show it, we like the little romantic gestures every once in a while too.  For me though, all my fiance has to give me is those two words at the alter and I am happy.  After all, the gift I am gettign that way will last for a lifetime, anything els that you give will be temporary.  I would suggest though, if you are going to give him a gift, make it kind of a combination of things.\n\n1) Write him a little not telling him that you love him and teasing him for the night after the wedding (you knwo what I mean)\n\n2) give him a serious gift, maybe a nice watch or something like that that you know he will appreciate.  Just pick something you know that hw is into, or maybe something he can use for the wedding.\n\n3) give him a not so serious gift like something in there with a note telling him to look forward to you modeling it for him, or (even funnier) put a bag in there with nothing in it and a note on the outside saying that you are going to model in what is in that bag, he will get the idea.\n\nTo me, things like that that will both show how much you love him, care for him, and respect him along with things taht show how much you really do look forward to being with him for the rest of your life will be a wonderful gift to give on your wedding day.  Just be a little creative.  The joke things will lighten the mood and maybe ward off some of the pre-wedding jitters and the serious stuff will show him how you feel about him.  Hope this helps.

at my wedding I gave out candy tied in tool with a bell attached. I included a hershey hug, a kiss, and a dove promise. everyone thought it was cute. Another idea I heard of was putting seeds in a cute box, adding something about "watching love grow".

1st - on cost - i would spend $35-$50 on a shower gift if you're going to spend that much on a wedding gift. \n\nOn what to get - is there a theme to the shower indicated on the invitation? if so, that'll help narrow it down (for my "honeymoon destination" shower, some people got themed gifts from the countries we were visiting. very cute and thoughtful). If not, then you can do one of two things: \n1. buy off the registry. sure fire way to get her something she wants. your safest bet. \n2. since it's in St. Helena, she's obviously into wine. do something wine-related. maybe a Carafe, engraved wine stoppers. something along those lines. \n\nas for what to wear - since it's in february it'll probably be held inside. would say a long skirt or a nice pants outfit. as long as you're comfortable.

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

I would say something related to religion. As someone suggested, maybe a nice cross necklace or a prayer book. Maybe a set of small angel statues (something like that), a nice rosary bracelet, something to do with angels (frames with inspiring messages, keychains, etc.). Hallmark might have something, if you prefer giving traditional gifts like that. I hope this helps.

The wedding-industrial complex, or some nutso etiquette expert. Etiquette books were written for wealthy northeastern families to show off their wealth.\n\nFavors should reflect the couple in some way, be affordable, and should be one for every guest or couple attending. Some ideas:\n* CDs (burn your own) with the couple's favorite songs. A CD with labeling kit and print cartridges will run about 45 cents per CD and five minutes of time.\n* Picture frames (large enough to hold a 3x5).\n* candies wrapped in toole (get high-quality candies like toblerone or girardelli, not the generic m&m's without lettering)\n* flowers, either potted, or in bulb form.\n* candles with frosted glass votive.\n\nPeople go nuts over weddings anyway. Try having a wedding, it's suddenly like everything in your life is your family's business. I'm a big fan of marriage, but weddings are just a royal pain and a way to spend lots of money.\n\nWeddings invite intrusiveness on a par second only to having children. It's fun reminding your parents that you don't need approval for your children's names, nor when nor how many children you have.

How about a framed picture of you in front of your home and a thank you card.\nA gift certificate to something relaxing say a dinner and a movie, a pedicure. Spend how ever much you can afford.

According to Hallmark...Wedding Anniversary gifts are specified for each year up to the 15th.  After that, it basically gives something specific for every 5 years, 20th, 25th, etc. The 20th traditional gift is China and the Modern is Platinum.  The 25th traditional is Silver and the Modern is also silver.  I suggest a personalized engraved item or some type of jewelry (A new watch?). It really depends on the likes of the person. An engraved beer mug, a lighter, pen set or desk set.  Also, don't forget a great dinner somewhere. Maybe there's a show coming to town or concert and you could also get the tickets in advance  (Or give an IOU when they go on sale) and put them in a card. Whatever you do, enjoy yourselves.  It's not just about material things. Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS on keeping it together this long.

Register what?  Do you mean sign up for a wedding registry at a store?  \n\nIf you're getting married feel free to sign up for one or more of those.  You'll list different things you need and that helps friends who want to get you something.  \n\nBut don't expect that people will get you things.  If they aren't invited to a wedding a lot of people won't think of it.  Especially if the couple is already living together--because obviously they already have set up housekeeping and have what they need.

Which anniversary is it? If it's the first year there are traditional gifts to give. The traditional gift for a first year marriage is paper. The modern gift is plastic, gold jewelry, and clocks. below are some links to give you an idea of what you may want to go for. The perfect gift in my opinion is always to start a scrapbook with someone who share so much with and have it continue for the rest of your lives together, when you're old and grey you and your children can sit around and look at where it all began.

Since the traditional gift is cotton, why not a beautiful set of very high threadcount sheets. Put them on the bed, dont wrap them. Light the room with candles, set a picnic with some new china (another traditional gift) and figure out the rest from there. \n\nP.S. Happy Anniversary!
