Hello everybody, I have a wedding coming up of my close friend. We have taken care of all the arrangements but just one thing is left, suitable gifts for the attendants. We would like to have something given that would be remembered by them, coming on the monetary issue we would not like to make it expensive too. So, would like to get suggestions from you people to help me decide a gift for the guests.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

You could do this yourselves and buy a stack of CD's:
Cd's with some of your friends and family pics on
Cd's of your fave music

A packet of seeds for guests to grow their own plants in spring and you can have a competition.

tiny pot plant like a cacti - 99p each

a tea tree light holder with their name that you have enamaled on, you buy the writing enamal from confetti. (my friend did this, it's a name place and a presnet at the end of the night) light holders are about 40p each from ikea.

hope that helps

Hotch Potch at Elsecar Heritage Centre!You can paint a pot/plate/egg cup...whatever,they glaze and fire it,and a week later you collect it.My kids made stuff fot their grandparents for Xmas...fab,inexpensive,and unique!

Giving a gift to the guests is something very important in a wedding as that leaves a mark of the wedding on a persons mind and is talked about between people. The gift need not be expensive as there may be a large number of guests but needs to be something unique. I would recommend key chains of a different style, stuffed bears …. the choice may be wide. For better criteria of selection, you can consider online resources for wedding gift ideas so that you do not miss out on the best ones.

Since when did the wedding couple give out gifts to their guests? I thought it was supposed to be the guests that gave them gifts:huh:

When we got married 15yrs ago, we only gave gifts to the bridesmaids/bestman and ushers. All the wedding guests got a small box with 2 continental chocs and that was put on the table by their place name.

Is this a new idea to give gifts to all guests?

It isn't supposed to be anything. Gifts should be given because people want to give them, not out of any sense of duty.

This was my initial reaction too! Since when do you have to give the guests gifts?

I must be out of date, but the only wedding I have been to in recent years was a lovely one, where we all met very informally at the church and then back to the bride and grooms house for tea, hardly any expense but so meaningful and fun for all the guests. No one gave out gifts or bought expensive flowers or any of the fashionable trappings, and yet it meant so much!

better than burning a CD, get an inexpensive memory stick (about 1 gig or so) and fill it with some of the couples fave music and pictures of attendee and the couple getting married together.

this way they can have something very personal and then download it to their computers and have something they could use in their day to day lives to remember the day by.

edit:
by attendees i thought you meant those in the wedding party, not the actual guests.

edit 2:
is there a theme to the wedding?
maybe chocolates like the other person suggested? or the traditional gift of almonds?
burning CDs, designing, printing and making cover art and then the jewel cases can get VERY £££ as just leaving a plain cd on the table is just asking for it to be ruined before it gets home.
