I have to go to a Portuguese wedding this year, and I know that money is expected as a gift, but have no idea as to what is the average amount to give? I work with the bride’s mother and she is also a friend. From listening to the planning of the wedding, it’s going to be quite extravagant.

Evla Pottery , located in St. Paul Minnesota . Micheal Coon is the potter , and Kimberly Christenson runs the store and is also a Abstract Painter. They let you put pottery aside for your wedding registry. Mike also makes dinner sets in feb.
They are family owned business and work hard like farmers with out a tractor.
“You never know what presents the Kiln will leave you.” Just like nature.
Personally, the bowl from Evla for under $60 makes a great made by hand and in America heirloom gift. Any one can buy mass produced give something with love in it. thanks. jen

I often give handmade items – most often pottery made by a fine woman I have gotten to know over the years. She makes French butter keepers. What are these? you might ask. Think of a lid where the edge is very deep. You pack butter into it and then invert it into a bottom piece filled with water. This keeps the butter the perfect consistency for spreading – summer or winter. My kids’ friends would use ours and ask me where I got it. I started giving them away once I saw how many people liked them too. I include an Ikebana vase by the same artist. This is a Japanese-style vase made from clay that the artist leaves a very earthy brown color and often presses a small shell into for a subtle design. There is a metal pronged holder (frog) in the center that can hold one or several flowers – perfect for the person who is flower-arranging challenged! Also perfect for the single blossom that a child brings into the house as a gift for Mama.

Good god yes. We told people that we were already combining two long-established households and had all we need, and that we would much prefer they support a charity in honor of the occasion if they felt that had to do something beyond just sharing our joy that day. Many did. We did set up a small registry with practical things that we really would use and appreciate. Others chose that route, or cash. But while I’m truly appreciative of the thought behind the hideous but expensive piece of art given by my MIL’s dear friend, we can never, ever get rid of it. If you must buy something with “personality,” please god make it something that can be hidden away in a drawer if it is not to the taste of the recipient. I can’t think of a worse gift than art that must be displayed (and that includes framed invitations) unless the couple specifically requested that particular piece. The wedding should be about the couple, not about you expressing your creativity.

I love giving a meal somewhere – if I can, to a restaurant at the honeymoon spot so they can enjoy a meal without considering the financial implications; if not, a meal at a fancy place in their hometown so they can celebrate upon their return. Moments often mean as much as physical items, and I’ve enjoyed receiving thank-you notes with mouth-watering details of their dinners!
