You may want to gift them a once-in-a-lifetime experience like a helicopter ride or white water rafting, but it will only work if the couple is an adventurous sort. If they are not the sort to appreciate adventurous sports, this gift is not likely to be highly appreciated. Also, if the couple is young, you may even consider a cash gift, as they are most likely to need the cash. You may consider sending it to them ahead of the wedding, so that they may add it to their wedding or honeymoon expenditure, if they like.

It is no fun to make a present that does not remind the recipient a little bit about you. Take into account the similarities between you and the couple. If you have common interests, make use of them to choose a wedding gift. If all you like to dance, gift the couple a lesson in their wedding dance! If you all like travelling, gift the couple a cross-country rail tour! Not only will the couple enjoy your gift, they will also remember you while they enjoy it!
