Btw, how much do you guys normally spend on wedding gifts? I know it's directly proportional to the closeness of relationship, so any scenarios would be studied intently.
And yes cash/EFTPOS/VISA card are obvious to let the couple choose, but that lacks serious creative input. I want both a YES! and a WOW!
Thanks in advance for the crowdsourced contribution.
$100 lapdance and a $100 "diamond" ring just might get them to consider you as their partner instead.
That Will Make The Couple Want to Marry Me

Zapal freebies.
That person proposing at Dominoes must have been you!
No lie if some random hobo proposed to me in a domino's I would probably consider it since the smell of fresh pizzas is pretty arousing.. same goes with maybe maccas and kfc but I find most maccas to not be as romantic as a domino's or kfc I dunno personal preference.
I bet you like gravy
I bought a friend a stick mixer with the river/mash attachment ect n a big kit. They still use it 6 years later and she often says it was the favorite gift then got.
Will depend what they like I guess…
she often says it was the favorite gift
I bet she does.
Lol I see what your implying. But no I heard it from her mother and some other friends who went over there for dinner lol.
I still rather hard cold cash than creative input, but good luck with your "YES! and a WOW!".
We gave a good friend $200 in red pocket at the wedding. She told us months later that we gave them the best present during the wedding. So yeah, OP's friends might go Yes and Wow! With cash gift.
They're both avid musicians. Maybe 2x Bose QC35 II? Do people submit deals for those on OzB??
In that case - and you said you wanted WOW snd they both love and want to marry you.
Tickets for a return trip to:
USA to visit to MIM - Music Instrument Museum
A dear friend worked there and since her retirement (she is OLDER THAN ME) she volunteers there.
I know some of the many items on exhibit. Wide range, interesting unusual instruments, and dime very expensive precious pieces.
No doubt there are others - but I am not sure that any one place has so many in one Place.
That is in Arizona.
Optional Extend to the Elvis museum (his former home) and the other musical heartlands such as New Orleans, Nashville Tennessee etc. and you will have them blown over.
One heck of an experience and memory. Of course they may have already been!
However, you won't get that for $200! However, if they are already going that way (eg honeymoon) you might get part of it.
lingerie if you can guess the brides size.
Or the groom's
͡° ͜ʖ ͡°
$200 in cash in a Tiffany box.
Did you say "couple"?
Honestly?
Maybe a couple of couple activity or dining groupons / scoopons
I know I would love that especially since I can never decide
Or if you know that the couple are alcoholics alcohol but imho that is a bit last resort and cliche
What do you and the happy couple have in common I suppose?
If it's just family no idea, if it's friends then you probably already know or if say from like a uni society then something more personalized?
I dunno haha lol I actually need some ideas for this soon too lol
If the couple are especially close to you take a good camera with you (not a phone one but a proper camera SLR) and take some pictures of the day. Not the run of the mill stuff but get the more candid side such as the pre wedding preparations (not the buck's or hen's night!!) and if possible include yourself in them where possible. Once you've done this and their special day is over you can visit one of those online sites that create albums etc and make a special photobook of how you saw their day. A site that comes to mind is snapfish. You can also make a calendar from the day they were married which will go up to their first anniversary. This will form a keepsake for the rest of their life that they can look back on as their relationship grows. And it will be forever there in their memories that you were there to share that special day with them.
Considering they will be married and you want to marry them, I would suggest a Divorce lawyer voucher…

group massage session.
For three maybe?
Rule of thumb is to at least cover the cost of your meal etc - depending on venue, $75-150 per person. If they're a close friend or family you probably would look at a little more.
That said, it's a wedding where they want you to be there to celebrate a moment in their life. They chose the budget. I'd hate someone feel that they couldn't come to my wedding because they couldn't "cover the cost" - I wouldn't of invited them if I didn't want them there, so don't feel bad if you're not in a financial position to do it.
On the budget end, a service or experience that is nice for them together could work (couples massage/spa day). I'd only opt for cash if the couple explicitly said "We've already got a full house of stuff" or didn't offer up a gift registry. If there's other friends going to the wedding, pull a few people together to buy one of the really expensive items off the gift registry so you've each contributed a little, but the couple gets someone that no one person/couple would have otherwise bought.
If you think they're they kind of people who'd scoff if you'd not been able to buy them an expensive present, my opinion would be (profanity) them, they're sh*t friends.
