Wedding gift

Long story short, my brother had a destination wedding in January. I was not able to attend and still haven't given a gift, bad, I know!

I always give cash/check as a wedding gift, but my brother and SIL have a ton of money and I feel like a couple of hundred dollars is just like a drop in the bucket to them.

I'm thinking about giving an actual gift because it would have more meaning than cash, but then I don't know what to get. Chat Icon

So here are my options: Give a gift, give a gift with some cash, or just give cash like I usually would. WWYD?

I would do a mix of both. Maybe a nice personalized gift, along with cash

Re: Wedding gift

Did she have a registry? Any big tickets items still left?

I normally would say cash, cash, cash but if you feel money is really no object to them, I guess a gift might be better then

Maybe a gift card to a hotel i.e. Ritz Carlton gift card so you can help treat them to a getaway. Or gc to a day spa or something like that. Nice bottle of wine and dinner? Tickets to a show?

Re: Wedding gift

SIL didn't have a shower, no registry either. They have lived together over a year and it's the second wedding for both.

I'm leaning towards a personalized item together with cash. I don't want to get something junky though... any ideas would be appreciated!

Maybe something along the lines of an experience gift would be good. Thanks!

Check out sojospaclub, just opened in NJ & overlooks NYC. Looks super fancy, I have an appointment for April. Might be a good gift idea, a spa day.

If they like and know wine - an expensive bottle and cash.
