yup, i am that person that waits until 3 days before a party to get a gift Chat Icon

we have a 10 year wedding anniversary to attend this weekend. the invite says "no gifts". Would you still bring a gift?
If so, what would you suggest?
The husband has health issues to liquor is not an option. I also normally give them lenox picture frames or vases for the holidays so i was hoping for a different idea

any ideas??

This...if you really feel you need to bring something then I'd do a bottle of wine. Even if husband can't drink it, I'm sure they can use it when they have guest over.

Maybe just a small bouquet of flowers

You could also make a donation in their name to a charity

I always feel bad with the no gift thing. Once i made a 'wedding cake' out of styrofoam forms with tiers, wrapped ribbon around the tiers and stuck scratch offs around the tiers! They loved it and didnt win much lol

Do you have a nice picture of the four of you-maybe from their wedding? You can print one up and put it in a pretty frame. I'd say something like-I know you requested no gifts, but I came across this picture of us and had to share the memory with you.
