  • I got a few friends gift cards for manicures with a note saying something like "congrats, enjoy the manicure!  You will be showing that ring off for awhile!"

    This. My really good friend got me one and it was by far my favorite!!
  • Real Simple planning book...Crate and Barrel has it. It's the best book/magazine I've read. It goes through everything. FI and I have referenced it many times.

  • My best friend got me a vera wang glass jewlery ring holder to put by the kitchen sink so whenever I take my ring off, I have a safe place to put it.  They are available at Bed Bath and Beyond and I think they are about $40.  I use it everyday and I love it.
  • A nice guest book for the guests to sign at the reception.
  • Get her one of those Philosophy kit's for the bride - they are amazing and adorable. Or a framed picture of you and her showing off her ring! :)

    [QUOTE]Also, bridal magazines do not offer much inspiration but more ads.  A couple here and there are nice, but typically brides pick them up themselves. I would not clutter someone with those.

    I agree that a lot of the bridal magazines are all ads, but I have found that a lot of the European magazines have WAY fewer ads than the ones from the US.

    I wound up picking up some from the UK - they have very few ads, a lot of ideas and looks at several brides, how to handle sticky situations (like an overbearing parent), and advice for starting marriage.  I love the newlywed sections!  It has something that bridal magazines here don't have - the wedding starts a marriage.
