Renewing vows GIft???

[stczt]

Help, some frinds are having a 50th Ann. party/vow renewal. I have not been to one of these, what do I do? Get them a giftcard, money (howmuch)? The invatition says "Cards Only Please".

So then just give them a card.

Then give them just a card.

DH and I had a vow renewal ceremony. I wrote right on the invitation--no gifts, please. Just about everyone gave us gift cards, etc. It was fine from my mom and my sister but, sheesh, I got a bit annoyed that I had to buy thank you cards, write them out, etc. I mean, it was a nice gesture but we didn't want anything. We just wanted to have the family and friends get together for a casual party.

Ok, vent over. I feel a bit strongly about this. Honor their wishes and just give them a card. Write a lovely note to go inside it. It's what they want. Respect their wishes.

You give them only a card.

If they are good, longtime friends, you could write some of the fond times you've had with them over the years, some funny stories, experiences that you all shared together. Remember when...

Just a card. They are renewing their vows, and while this is very special, if they implied they wanted gifts, most people would feel very put out. They do not want that, they want you to come and enjoy. So just a card.
