Default Cheesy or cute gift idea?

We are going to a wedding mid-August, and just found out our friends bought a new house. As part of their wedding gift would it be cute to include a new personalized stamp with their names and address?
I am also making her a mini brag book for the wedding, and then getting them a nice gift from their registry, this is just an added bennie since she sent her new address tonight.

(and if it matters she is a stamper and made her own invites, etc., so she would have pads and all that good stuff)

Another option is to print out name/address labels and then hand stamp seasonal ones for them to use, but I think the stamp is cuter.
Comments?

Britta....the stamp idea is great. Even more so since she is a fellow stamper. She will definately appreciate it I'm sure. Great idea

What a clever idea! Never would have thought of that. I think the personalized stamp is a "solid" reminder of their new life and home together.

The stamp is a great idea! Love it! She will so love having that for her thank you cards!


Is this the wedding that "the dress" is for? Whatever happened with that? Did you pick one?

I think it is an awesome idea!! Find a cute box that you can alter, and put the stamp inside with a black stampin' spot, add some stamps (postage.) I love this idea!!!!

Thats a great idea. I am getting married soon and can't wait to get one made by SU. If she is a stamper she will be very excited.

The stamp is a great idea. With all the wedding stuff and getting a new house, doing little things like printing out address labels or ordering them yourself will fall through the cracks. Even if she wasn't a stamper, it would be a good idea. Who wants to write out the address all the time while waiting to order address labels or taking the time to do them on the computer yourself?!

Very thoughtful gift idea! If the bride is changing her last name, then she will have her return address stamp with the new address and her new name already done for her.

When we bought this house in March, our agent gave us return address labels as part of his housewarming gift. It was a very thoughtful gift.

I agree that trying on is much better. You do realize that we expect to see a photo of you in the dress you end up, right???
