Photo albums engraved with their last name or initials on the cover, those are nice.  Or how about some nice silver photo frames in 5 x 7 and 8 x 10 sizes?  My other idea is to think of something that they both enjoy doing together (for example, camping, tennis, etc) and get them something that involves that.  If they both like the outdoors you could get them a BBQ grill set.

What about a gift certificate to have their wedding photos scrapbooked for them.  For that amount it would be a very beautiful book and something they would have forever.  Find a scrapbook store in your area and they would probably be able to refer you to one.

give her a bracelet, a good one that she never has to take off.  Any gift is fine really, it's how you give it, what kind of love you put with it..and how much intuition you put into it that can decipher the quality and results of the gift.....but my only suggestion is a bracelet....i had to leave to kuwait, so i gave my fiance a bracelet, and told her to wear it around her ankle so she'll never lose it, (and it just looks sexy on her that way), and it only cost me bout 60 some odd dollars...It was something to remember me by while i'm gone...so....stuff like that.

You're very sweet to take so much care with this. First of all, for her father, maybe to acknowlegde their relationship, get a gift they can use together, games to bring to his house, a gift card to something they like to do together whether it's movies, Chuck E Cheese, or skiing. For your stepdaughter, a nice dance bag would be thoughtful, or tickets to a musical if you live in a town that puts them on. Of course, an mp3 player is sure to make a hit, if she doesn't already have one. She's nine and must be starting to love clothes (my daughter already does at 5!) so give her a "coupon" for a small shopping spree, you decide the limit! Good luck and have a great holiday!

If you know her colors, then that would be a great option... But I do like the Champange color, it sort of like toasting to her wedding with a champange color album.Natural colors are safe.

Get tickets for something to do together or for her and your father.  A play, a concert, a bike tour, a gym membership, an art exhibit, manicures and pedicures, an imax movie, etc.  She might have a lot of things or be very picky about her things, but she loves you and she would most likely be very touched that you got something for the both of you to do together.  If that's not your thing, think about a hobby she truly enjoys and perhaps get something to go with it.  For example, my mom knits, so one year I bought her some really beautiful wool online from a farm in Vermont and a pattern for a pretty sweater that I thought she would like.

Go to Super Kmart ( i swear they have good jewelry for very low prices) and get her a frienship locket or ring. Maybe get her a charm braclet and later on you could get a friendship charm to go with it when you have more cash. Whatever you get your friend im sure will love it. I think these are perfect gifts for best friends and trust me Kmart is the way to go. Just check it out you will be surprised.

Congratulations!  First if you don't want to register for gifts, that is fine - maybe you can ask your guests to donate to you and your fiance's favorite charity enlude of buying gifts.  Since you are having a garden wedding, your costs on decor have been cut down dramatically - just use your beautiful surroundings!  Keep things simple - allow nature to provide the beauty.  Maybe use colorful linens, and use silver pails ( u can get them cheap at Wal mart) and fill those with flowers for your centerpieces.  Maybe tie a ribbon (the thick kind) with a plaid colorful design (colors to match ur wedding colors) around the pails especially if you can't afford colored linens and have to opt for only white.  You could also just do a simple floating candle( and or a floating flower) arrangement for  a centerpiece as well.  Since you will be dining outdoors keep the food simple and light .  \nA rehearsal dinner is also not required, but is basically just a nice get together for everyone in the wedding party ( everyone may not know eachother) and immediate family, to get to know one another and privatly celebrate with you and your fiance.  It also is a time for you to give them their gifts.  Typically the groom ( or grooms family) pays for the rehearsal dinner.  If money is an issue - just ask everyone to 'pitch in'.  \nHope all works out for the best:)

I would say that 25.00 in a nice card would be suitable. I assume she is a relative--it just might bring the ties together for the next function.

someones Backyard that you know that will allow you to decorate in the elegance that you want.  My sister is getting married in my brothers back yard which is not real big but a nice size and food will be provided by family to cut even more cost but still all in all she will get what she really wants and that is her parents and family members to see the wedding don't blow your money so friends that you barely see or people you just have to invite come and eat and drink and probably won't even bring a gift.

i would think your best bet is a craft store. They usually have everything under the sun for weddings. I know when i was planning my wedding i spent a good four hours in one

You could give her a purse, a watch, a neckless, a bracelett, a hair excessory, or earings.... anything pretty! Girls love pretty things! Believe me... I should know..

My sister was just a maid of honor and we shopped for the gift and found a beautiful crystal clock which you could get the names and a message engraved in. You could also put the wedding picture in it. It was large and oval..just gorgeous.

I'm the type of person that doesn't like to just give someone a simple old gift, I like to make it a little more exciting than that. Here is one idea. Hopefully you have some time before her birthday. This is what I would do if you have about a month or a little less time before her birthday. Each day, for 21 days, give her a small gift. This could be some makeup, a new purse, some cash, starbucks g/c, a day at the spa, cds, etc. Give her something for each day up until her birthday and then on her actual birthday give her something big, that she has wanted for a while, or something that she would like really like. You could give her a trip to Vegas or Atlantic City, or take her on a cruise, etc. This is where you would decide what to give her, what you think she would like the most.\n\nI think it would be especially neat if the little gifts added up to her final gift. You don't want it to be real obvious what it is going to be, but once she has everything you want her to be able to see the connection. Let's say you are going to give her a cruise. Okay, so you could give her some small (not travel size or it may be too obvious) lotions, shampoos, etc. you could buy her an MP3 player to listen to on the plane, some books, etc. Add things in that would be of interest to her, but also useful for her trip. You could even take her to the mall one day for a shopping trip and get her some pictures in one of those machines, then she could use the picture for her passport. Then on the day of her birthday you could take and wrap the cruise documents in a large box, like a sweeper box or something, then she will open it and it will just be the little envelope with the documents in it. You could also wrap her up a box and inside of it have a clue. You could create a map or use a real map that she has to use to find the next clue, give her hints where the clue is and then she has to hunt for it, it sounds  a little childish but because she will be going on a cruise I think it would still work. Plus, it will be a lot of fun for you and her.\n\nHope this helps!
