My mom is gone now, but she remarried when I was a senior in high school. They asked people not to buy gifts. He owned a house, Mom owned a house. They didn't need anything for the house and Mom sewed all of the time. They still received some personal gifts. It was nice, but I think gift cards would be much better. They could be for dinner or they could be for places that you shop at a lot.

I think gift cards to a restaurant or a bed-and-breakfast, or even a nice florist that they could pick out some flowers when they want to would be terrific. You could buy them a wine of the month package, or make a donation to charity to honor them. The other thing I think everyone can always use are an assortment of really nice picture frames - they can put wedding pictures in them!

Definitely gift cards. Smart restaurant, nice store where they can buy what they need or want. Do they like wine? You could make up a nice basket with some wine, crackers, some nice cheese, fancy olives - that kind of stuff. Or a breakfast basket - pancake mix, syrups, fancy coffee or teas, etc. But I still think I like gift cards.

Have you asked the bride and groom what they would like if anything? I remarried at 75 and we too both had houses full of stuff. Took us 3 month to merge what we were going to keep and then had sale of what the kids didn't want. So I dout if this couple will want any stuff. We told our guests no gifts just your presence wil be our gift.
I moved into his house and rented out mine figured a women can adjust to change better than men.
