[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with the above -- you are allowed to give them a gift that is neither cash nor on the registry, thereby saving yourself some money. If you go with something simple and tasteful -- and assuming they aren't jerks -- they won't care; for example a nice simple vase or other glassware. Unless they are glass experts, they won't know or be able to track back how much it costs.

If that seems to "obvious" for you, you can likely do an "experience" gift for less than $200. What are they into? If they went to the same college or have a local sports team they like, a fun present would be 2 tix to a game. It's such an "unexpected" wedding present that they won't even care that they aren't luxury seats, esp if they come with a thoughtful card along the lines of "hope you enjoy a night out after the wedding hecticness."[/quote]

Aww, I like this!  There's no way that every day of their married lives is going to spent amongst Waterford crystal and limoge china, a low key fun day at the ball field or an amusement park sound fun!
And I am totally on board with borrowing a dress or checking out consignment![/quote]
