1.  Slim digital camera.  When planning a wedding, a bride visits tons of venues, sites and stores and has special lunches, gifts and moments.  With a slim ditigal camera she will be able to snap away and remember these special "photo moments"!

2.  Spa Gift Certificate.  Every bride I know has been stressed at one time or another. An inexpensive manicure, pedicure, facial or a full day spa will be a welcome gift!

3.  Monogram Goodies.  If a bride is changing her name, she will appreciate towels, slippers, or keepsake boxes with her new initials on it! She will most likely not have registered for monogrammed items - most registries do NOT give that option - so your gift will be unique.

4.  A Book that will Make her Laugh.  A bride needs to laugh. Why not give her a book such as "Diary of a Mad Bride"? If thats not her taste - try a comedy wedding movie or tickets to see some stand up comedian.

5.  Confirmation of Youth.  Remind her that getting married doesnt have to mean changing who she is - with a bottle of her favorite wine - certificate for sex toys - or a coupon for a girls night out.  If that is not her taste - give her some kind of present that you would give her if she was NOT getting married.  ie:  funky movie or a snappy T-shirt

6.  Honeymoon Gift.  If you know where she is planning her honeymoon, she'll love a helpful guide on the spot. or appropriate accessories. 

7.  Lingerie.  Every bride can use some reminders of her beauty and sexiness.  Give her some gorgeous lingerie that will help keep the spark alive after the wedding night.  Those that are conservative can give a beautiful pegnoir set, while adventurous  types can opt for skimpy.

8  Holiday Decorations.  Todays Brides register for furniture, electronics, and camping equipment, as well as the traditional kitchen and entertaining gear.  Yet very few Brides have the holiday decorations they will need to start the new traditions and recreate old traditions.  Whether you give a holiday ornament with both of their names engraved on it or a beautiful menorah, or a cornucopia to create a Thanksgiving centerpiece, your gift will be put to use for years to come. 

9.  Engagement Memories.  Newly married couples have alot of documentation of the wedding day itself, yet few have documentation of the planning of the wedding.  A bride will love a beautiful album with pictures of her shower, a journal for recording her thoughts during the process, or a scapbook you've put together.  Grooms, why not put together a scapbook of your dating memories?  To make it special, add tickets or gift certificate so that you can revisit one of the places that made is such a great memory. 

10.  A History of her Fiance's Family.  She's gaining a whole new set of family members, but she does not have ANY idea who they are!  A thoughtful gift would be a labeled photo album with each of the new people in her family, or a beautiful groom's family tree (make sure you include the bride).
