Definitively, money will be the best. Especially if there is not a real “wedding list”. You do want to avoid the famous “double items” (double iron, double coffee pot, etc...)
Money is always needed and very welcome during this time. But it is really up to you to decide of the amount. But if you were planning to pay for the honeymoon ....
Although, you can also ask your friend if they are ready to go for The Day and see what he will answer and offer your help.
But at the end, do what you think is right. Either if it is a nice gift, that you know the couple will enjoy (this is very important, you do not want to wander where is you gift every time you visit them), or money.

You cant go wrong with money. Registries are more for the gifts to give at the Bridal Shower. You also have to take into account if it's a big or small wedding. For example, if it's taking place at a banquet hall y estan tirando la casa por la ventana, then money is ur best bet. If its something more intimate like at the home or a restaurant (75 people or less), money is still good but gifts are acceptable for smaller weddings. I dont think many people bring a toaster to big schbangs anymore.
I agree with Colombiana. Money is always the best gift for weddings. If you are going to a really fancy expensive wedding than you should give anywhere from $100-$125 per person. If it is a smaller wedding than around $75-$100 per person would be ok. Plus, people spend so much money on weddings now a days, that the money you give ends up paying for your food and open bar anyway.
Baina....if you were willing to pay for the honeymoon than that means you are willing to shell out a lot of cash for this wedding. Instead of spending a large amount of cash on a big gift that you are not sure if they will like you should give them the money. Couples that are starting out need money for things that come up....who knows perhaps they will spend it on their honeymoon. GIVE THE CASH they will appreciate it!

Depending on how much you wanna spend.......you might also wanna pay for entertainment.....OR a horse and carriage surprise......
A dinner certificate for 2 at a really nice restaurant.......(nice meaning = not cheesy) LOL
I don't recommend you pay for their trip......
Maybe even a year membership at a gym.....
A weekend get away for couples at a Spa.......(they would appreciate this alot after the stressful wedding)

Since you can't pay for the Honeymoon, why not get them a house!!!...(just joking)
I would have to agree with Angelita, most couples would like to get money. Weddings can be very expensive, at the end a little extra money would be great for the honeymoon...

they would have a listing of what they want and stick it online via the store. then the wedding guests just buy something in their price range. simplest thing since you know anything on the list is something the couple wants
They do have something similar.......It works a bit differently.......
I just wanna see what foro members that have been married suggest.
Like what are things that you thought you needed but ultimately didn't.......and things that you overlooked....and thought to yourselves...."man..we should have gotten that instead"......you know?

yeah, I agree with angelita... money is always good. they are probably going through a lot of expenses right now and money is the best thing to give a just married couple..

WOW!! You were gonna pay for their trip!! Wow, what a nice friend!! With experience in have been married and going to weddings, i suggest give them money. That's what everone wants, most weddings expect money as a gift!! That amount i really can't say, just be generous if it's a good friend!!!
