Creative Wedding Gift Ideas

With the start of the new Wedding Season just on the horizon, it can be a tough time for guests trying to think up something different for the Bride and Groom which will be lovingly cherished, as well as mediating from the norm.
Many wedding guests find that if they (heaven-forbid) find their invitation delayed in the mail, by the time they get the chance to look at the wedding registry, all those on the ball guests have made sure that the good gifts are long gone.
I remember myself returning from a spring vacation to find a dreaded invitation laying in the mailbox, and even jumping immediately onto the online gift registry, the choice was less than inspiring. So I'm not sure exactly how the two egg cups, one fork and hand towel was receieved by Bride and Groom, but I did console myself in knowing that it was something the had wanted enough to add to their list.
These days, however when you find yourself in the aforementioned situation - there is no need to despair! there are a multitude of other great innovative gift ideas which, although deviating from the norm - will be loved just as much. Outlined below are some great alternative gift ideas.
1) Experience Voucher
Buying a voucher for an experience is a great way t give your friends something to look forward to after the wedding. Visit RedBalloonDays to purchase anything from a hot air balloon ride to a v* Supercars experience. If your friends aren't the adventurous type, there are also other great experiences such as dance lessons, cooking classes and whale watching.
2) Name them a Star
The International Star Registry lets you name a star on behalf of the happy couple. You can even select its registration date as their wedding day. The cost includes a beautiful gift certificate, and your friends will love to gaze up into the night's sky knowing their star is up there.
3) Wine of the Month Club
