hello.........get them a wish list.....if they have loads of money, they could care less about your gift, tell them to set down and write out what they truly want...........and see if they can fill it.........just a thought

Make a donation to a worthy cause in their name. The cause will send them a nice note letting them know you did that. If they've been married 4 times, there's nothing they need except probably money, and that's a tacky gift.

This is your husband's brother? Something you could make that very few other people could is a photo album gathering stuff from his past. Not necessarily a gallery of ex-wives, something tactful. There's a thread about Krammy making one a few weeks ago, it involves a scanner and finding the right shoebox with all the family photos in. It could start out with "Here's great uncle Obadiah hauling the first mechanical plough in Oregon" or whatever the shoebox has in it.

I came in having seen the thread preview "My brother in law is having a hawiian wedding next month. I don't know what", convinced that it could only continue "... to wear". Grass skirt, I was going to say.

A gift certificate redeemable at his local psychiatrist's for the two of them, to work out why on earth he keeps getting married so often and why she's walking into it.

Have you ever felt tempted to put up your hand during a wedding when the judge asks if anyone has reason the marriage shouldn't go ahead, and call out "me"? Now might be your only chance to find out what happens.

I'm not helping, am I.

:wah:

You're amusing me!

Spot. :wah:

AE, if that's the case, don't give them anything. If somebody were to treat my gift like that, **** on 'em. They probably know you don't have disposable income, and quite frankly getting married that many times is a little self serving to be having a wedding for numbers 4 and 5. You could always resort to a cheese wheel from Hickory Farms.

I gave up worrying about what to get people a long time ago.

I either give them a gift certificate or a pretty frame which works for weddings, new babies, etc and you can get the names/dates engraved on it too. :-6

Good suggestion, Sunny. Everyone can use a frame.

Or a vase or maybe a pretty dish of some kind.

yeah, at least you know your gift will be used!
