There are tons of great and affordable gifts, I would stay away from "traditional" gifts from wedding stores/magazines and go for something fun and different, even a day at Wonderland is only $35 if you buy the ticket from an outside location.

I realize that they have spent lots of money on all the BM duties and so I need some great gifts, but I need them to be affordable.</P><P>Any ideas?Wed, 02 Jul 2008 18:45:53 GMTjendoe
