Now that the wedding season is upon us and the invitations are rolling in, you're probably wondering how you can afford to get your betrothed friends something nice without racking up big credit-card bills or looking like a cheapskate.
MSN Money suggests some ways to minimize the toll on your finances:
• Set a budget. Just because you're being invited to a $200-per-person dinner doesn't mean your gift must match the entree price.
• Get creative. Homemade and heartfelt gifts can make a big splash at little cost to you. Consider a DVD photo album or pick something for their shared interests, such as a travel magazine subscription.
• Get a group gift. Go in together to get a big-impact item.
• Stick to the registry, so you know you're going to get them something they really want.
• Offer your services. If you can't afford the couple's registry, then give your skills.
