I just got a call from one of my best friends. She had told me earlier this week she and her fiancé are running off to Jamaica to get married.
Today she changed her mind and wants me as a witness, so they're getting married at the courthouse and going to Jamaica for a honeymoon.
I couldn't be happier. I'm flying in a week from Sunday to go dress shopping with her, and the wedding is the next day. I want to do something really nice for her as a gift, but my budget and time are limited. I can crochet and knit and sew (a little). I need ideas! Maybe I could comp lunch or manicures or something?? I'm so exhilharated, and it's not even my wedding!

Congrats to them!
1Since you don't have a ton of time or money, I would suggest something really personal for her and her future hubby. It could either relate to the wedding in some way or it could be more about their personalities. Since it is going to be a super small wedding maybe you could get them a gift that will help them remember the very special day. There are a lot of great stores, like Things Remembered, that do fab engraving that isn't that expensive and is usually done pretty quick. Some randome ideas from me head: get her a bouquet since she may not even think about it, buy her a garter
, put together a honeymoon package with things to keep them
occupied on the plane trip or for their first night as newlyweds...that's all I have for right now.
2Thank you! That gives me so many ideas now
3I completely forgot about the "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue"
And I'll definitely check out Things Remembered.

Glad I could help! If only I would have spelled correctly in my post. Sometimes I think my head is somewhere other than earth. Feel free to PM if you need anymore suggestions.
4i like bfly1133's ideas.
5Thanks nessabum.
6If you can sew a little bit, try sewing a simple garter with lace and a thin blue ribbon on it for her something blue. Someone did that for a friend of mine and I thought it was an awesome gift.
7bfly's idea of something personal is an awesome idea!
i also love popgoestheworld's idea of a garter!
maybe since you can sew you can have her pick out some fabric and make her veil?
