Wedding Gift Idea?

battybtags

So my Dad and GF got married back in Nov and they're having an at-home reception on 1/14 (yep, less than 2wks before I'm due!). Anyways, I'm trying to think of what to get them-thinking an engraved photo frame but not sure where else has them besides Things Remembered.

I don't want to spend a ton of money....
A. because I'm not thrilled with them being married
and B. My Dad didnt even get us a wedding card/gift for our wedding!

Ideas?

I think a personalized frame is nice but it has a young, traditional and personal feel to it and I'm not sure your dad is young (?) and maybe such a personal, traditional gift is weird if you're not thrilled about the marriage? Not sure.

I know families are really all over the place when it comes to special occasion gifts, but if it were me I might get them a 50$ gift certificate to a nice restaurant and call it a day.

And maybe you'll have other things going on and might miss the reception.

. This. Wise! if you aren't super thrilled, i wouldn't do anything personalized... But that's just me. A gift card is usually my obligatory "I don't really care, but I guess I should give you something" gift.

Maybe this makes me a horrible person but I feel like if you came to my wedding and didn't give me anything, then you have zero right to expect anything in return. Of course the guilt would quickly set in and I would feel obliged to give a gift. I like the restaurant gift card idea. If you feel like being snarky, make it a Subway or Domino's gift card.
