That is just in poor taste. Waryaa c'mmon son.

Uh huh.

Given I had about 20 hours notice of the wedding, I'd say it wasn't bad.

My point is, some might like it, some won't. Gifts are arbitrary in the end,

You don't see anything wrong with it? Would you do it again? Would you accept an envelope with money in it?

If I give a day's notice of the wedding, I wouldn't expect any gifts. I've said it before in this thread, an envelop of money is best done by a group of close friends.

I'ld say gift certificates for a romantic weekend getaway, spas or fancy restaurants.

I was in the same situation on my brother's wedding I didn't know what to get him and his wife who happened to be my friend. So I sent them their honeymoon and paid all their travel expenses during honeymoon.

Depends on your budgets really and how much you want to spend, I suggest you should just give them a gift card or envelope of money.

I rarely ever liked a perfume i got.

Alpha cash sounds very cold.

I talked to her together with ma sister and another cousin who had no clue and we decided to chip in for a trip to see her hooyo.A trip that she has been meaning to make.Worked out perfectly.

Thanks everyone for ur varied ideas.
