    My friend called to tell me about the special thing that she is gifting me. Guess what it is.....................no really guess, lol. It's a Wedding Coordinator for my last month and a half. I didn't need one at first, but now with everyone trying to throw in details and me starting to get frustrated.....someone there especially for me, that can help get things done and keep everyone on track is right on time!!

    What's one of your best gifts?

    That's awesome! For us, it'd probably be generous monetary gifts from our families as McHusband was laid off two weeks before the wedding or this awesome platter given to us by one of McHusband's groomsmen. He was all embarrassed about it, but it's so nice.

    @TheFutureMcBride: Yes, monetary gifts are great too. We are being handed money and services left and right! I am greatly appreciateive to everyone that is helping!

    I hope that your McHusband finds work soon.

    My favorite gift was from one of my bridesmaids. She got our invitation engraved onto a Tiffany & Co. platter!

    @michigosling: That's awesome!

    @PrncssDva: Thanks! I think pretty much everyone rethought their gift after he was laid off.

    Well I think our best gift is the wedding itself! Our parents are all paying for different parts!

    Our wedding is a while off but my Dad said he was going to get us a new bedroom set, so I'm thinking that will be a top gift for us...the bedroom set we have now FI parents got for their wedding so I think we're due for a new set!

    Ours was an awesome photographer, paid for by family members. We didn't have that in the budget, but they knew how important it was for everyone. It's the only gift we've received so far, but I already know it's the best!!

    That is a fantastic gift! How creative.

    Hard to choose, but I'll have to say our best gift was our honeymoon accommodations. FIL used his hotel points to get us seven nights at the Hilton Moorea Lagoon and Spa in French Polynesia.

    Wait, that's totally wrong. Our best gift was definitely the photo album that our parents presented us with at the rehearsal dinner. It's filled with wedding portraits of all our grandparents and parents, with an empty spot at the end for our own photo. I love it so much! We displayed it next to our guestbook at the wedding.

    Our best gift so far is from my parents -- $2k in Ikea gift cards! We desperately need new furniture.

    I'd have to say my best gift is the wedding. My father is paying for 95% of it. He just handed over the check and told me to go to town. Incredible.

    My sister and her boyfriend hired us a videographer because it wasn't in our budget. So excited!
