I either choose something off the registry (easiest), or in rare cases, find something that I think they would enjoy - think sports tix (you can do cheap seats!); something that they already collect; a gift certificate to a restaurant or a couple's massage, etc. In other words, base in on what their interests are.
Remember, it really IS the thought that matters.

I had planned on sending them something off their registry but the cheapest thing they have is $75 pillowcase covers. Thats the other part thats hard because I would like to get them something more than just pillowcase covers and she didnt really give her guests options in lower price ranges. So I had been considering sending a gift card but I'm just having a hard time deciding on the amount. The bride's parents and my parents are friends and I grew up with her younger sister but because my friend and her sister were not very close and 7 yrs apart I didnt really know her well so our relationship is not very close and I think she only invited me out of courtesy to my parents.
