What gift should I bring to a friend's wedding in India?

My mom & I will be traveling to a friend's wedding in Delhi, and we don't know what types of gifts are typical or most desirable. My friend is a jet-setter in his late 20's. His wife is also professional, but we don't know her yet.

The traditional gift at an Indian wedding is money. The amount should be an "auspicious" number ending in 1 -- $11, $21, $51, $101, $201, $501, etc. (or similar numbers in rupees, pounds, or what have you). Cash or a check is fine.

However, outside of India most Indian couples understand that giving money can be considered tacky and they don't expect it from their non-Indian friends. They've embraced the western tradition of giving housewares as gifts and many couples register at department stores. So the better answer is: give what you would give at a non-Hindu wedding.
Good luck!

Money or giftcard will be most ideal giftr as your friend can buy what he wants with that.

Keep in mind where the couple is going to settle. Remember if they are moving overseas they'll have to be carrying a lot of gifts with them. Since your friend is a jet setter I think it would be appropriate to ask him what he'd like.

Hi,

What about a painting related to your country. Or a painting of something she loves.

http://www.paintyourlife.com/ have artists that will paint anything, you just provide them a picture.

They have real examples on site. Choose a smaller size for painting if you want it cheap.

Get them a George Foreman grill - he'll be able to cook himself a burger on those evenings when his wife is working late.
