The wedding is just around the corner and you have not bought a gift yet. What do you do? Do you go and buy an appliance they will receive three or four of? Actually, instead of falling into the same old trap of useless gifts at a wedding, be creative or go all out so that the thank you letter you receive, really means thank you.

1. Money is an excellent gift. This will allow the newlywed couple to put it towards their honeymoon, furniture, a car, or any bills that may need to pay following the honeymoon. Never worry about giving cash at a wedding as most couples will welcome it. To give the gift with a bit more emotional weight, attach a letter telling the couple how much they mean to you.

2. Go all out and buy them an expensive gift. Usually if the gift has been put on the wedding gift registry, it is something they do not expect to receive. The fact they received their dream gift will be a huge surprise for them at the wedding. The smiles you see on their faces will be real, which in its own way is a gift to you. If you do not have the money to buy it, go in on it with a group of wedding guests.

3. Buy them a beautiful hotel room for their first night as a married couple. Giving a gift like this will give them a gift worth its weight in gold, as the memory of that room will stick with them for the rest of their lives. Help them start their marriage off right but let the wedding party know about your plans so that there won't be dual reservations.

4. Go sentimental and give them something truly special. Perhaps make it a special bottle of wine that can only be drank on special occasions, or a gift that cannot be opened for ten years. Make a quilt for them, or buy a special antique for their house. Whatever the gift is, make it stand out and make it memorable.

5. Make their honeymoon special by buying them gift certificates for restaurants in the area You might pick up the cost of the plane tickets or upgrade them to first class. Buy them a camera to get amazing photos from their honeymoon or foot the bill on tours of historic sites if they are into that sort of thing.
