Gift for Second Marriage

I would probably do a Champagne basket with glasses,strawberries, whip cream and a nice candle. I would enjoy that!!

Since they both have a full house set up the regular gifts probably will not work :) You could try a cert. for a nice restaurant they enjoy, or do a honeymoon basic with champagne, nice glasses, strawberries and fancy chocolate. It is hard to say since I do not know the couple myself. Usually when people get married young we give them what they need, this presents you with a chance to give them something they will enjoy, so be creative.

My husband and I got married in Oct, both of our second (and LAST!) marriage. Although we said NO GIFTS, we did get cards with cash and some had restaurant gift certs, which was really wonderful.

Go in with others on a group gift like a set of sheets for their bed, with a high percale that they wouldn't splurge on themselves.
It is always nice to have something tht is lasting and they will enjoy often. Also they will know that no previous partners slept on those sheets.

We have ato get a gift for a wedding too. First marriage for one of them, second for the other. But the one house has everything. Our invite said gifts are optional and did list places they are registered (although I haven't looked it up yet). I would say a digital picture frame would be great. They can display lots of photos of blended families. Even if they have one, you could have more than one. Another idea is games, like Beyond Balderdash, etc. that they can play with other couples or families. My other idea is gift cards, not just restaurants, but Home Depot type places too (paint, flowers, etc). If the house has a pool, maybe new pool towels, outdoor glassware, etc. Have fun!

This was me! We said no gifts but people gave us gift certificates to restaurants and we thoroughly enjoyed them. You are thoughtful!

You said homes... did you mean home?

I would definately get something thoughtful for their home... ie a nice plant (like maybe a rose bush) for their yard that can "grow" with their marriage, nice picture frame that holds multiple pics for them to display wedding photos, nice bottle of wine (and you could accompany it w/ a lovely note saying you would like to cook them a romantic dinner for two to go w/ the wine!), or get them a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant... I would imagine since it's second marriages they probably aren't expecting much and would really just appreciate your presence and celebration w/ them.... but thoughtful gifts in my opinion are always the best gifts... and least expensive too (but that is not the point!). Choose from the heart and you will be just fine :o)

Gift cards to romantic restaurants or any type of date night activity (theater, movies, ball games). What about a gift certificate to Shutterfly, Snapfish, or Costco photo so they can print newlywed pics, travel pics, or wedding pics and make a photobook for themselves. Are they doing photography at the wedding? If not a big part of their wedding, maybe $$ toward a private photoshoot post wedding. Send me a message if you buy anything that you want personalized with embroidery or a monogram. I have a small online children's boutique but I do a lot of things on the side for weddings (matching robes, bed sheets, towels, kitchen items). I also liked the idea someone put about the board games. What about a night out at the casino?

For my 2nd marriage we had explained we needed nothing, since we were also established. However, that did not stop gifts (very thoughtful). The best gift we recieved to my mind was a simple throw with the date of our marriage and our names together. BTW we have been together now 15 yrs. Another gift was a lovely vase.

The same gift you would get if she were getting married the 1st time. Don't treat this marriage different, or be afraid to get something nice in case you are worried it wont work out again. Support her through this, and perhaps get something engraved? One of my favorite wedding gifts was this holder for our vows. We could roll up our vows and put them in it (its like a cylinder looking thing that sits on pretty holders) and it was engraved with our names and our wedding date. "Things To Remember" was the store they got it at, so perhaps check to see if you have any stores around that will do engraving (They should have gifts there as well!)

What I have done for a few wedding gifts is get some glasses engraved with their last name initial. There are several websites that offer this or you can go to a store like Things Remembered. They have all different types of glasses to choose from and different font styles for the lettering. This is a good gift for a 1st wedding, 2nd wedding, or any wedding. Something with the new couples name monogrammed is a perfect gift for a second wedding. And who can't always use more glasses in their house? I got this idea beacuse one year for Christmas my boss gave me glasses engraved with our initials on it. I loved it so much that I thought other people would too. I have given this gift to two couples and they both absolutely love the glasses.
