A Food Gift For the Bride and Groom ?
While this may sound silly, a food gift may be a really fun and practical alternative to silver trays, place settings and some of the typical things that may be in a bridal registry. This would be especially appropriate if you know that the bride or groom likes to spend time in the kitchen experimenting and creating delectable cuisine.
In this case a basket of gourmet spices, sauces, chutneys and other ingredients or an assortment of exotic coffees can actually be given at the wedding as this gift will keep for a long time.Click the ad for igourmet at the right.
All About Gifts & Baskets is another store that has a wide selection of gift baskets especially created to give as wedding gifts - Just click the ad at the right for AA Gifts and Baskets.
If the bride and groom are a busy couple, always on the go, a gift of fresh food, such as fruit or a pair of lobsters, delivered to their door may be just what they need. However, if you are considering this type of gift, a gift certificate will be more practical as the newlyweds can order when the time is right for them.
Maybe the couple has a soft spot for seafood like dungeoness crab or live lobster. Don't know where to get a gift certificate for lobsters? Just look at Legal Sea Foods, a great store we have suggested. Just choose the package that you want to send and let the newlyweds select a convenient delivery date. The certificate arrives with a photo and description of the package (but not the price) and your personal message. Most of Legal Seafoods' lobster packages can be given as Gift Certificates. - Click their ad at right to get the boil rolling!

Give Them a Romantic Date after the Wedding
When the Honeymoon is over and the couple is getting accustomed to their new "regular" life together, it might be nice for them to have a certificate for a romantic dinner at a snazzy local restaurant. This will be something that the bride and groom can look forward to a few months after the wedding.
Why not get a gift certificate for a restaurant that the couple wouldn't necessarily try on their own? Just make sure that the cuisine is a type of food that they would like. Be sure to note the expiration of the certificate. Most restaurant gift certificates should have an expiration that is 6 months to a year after the purchase date but be sure to ask.
