The perfect gift for the happy couple

Winter is over so thankfully summer is not too far away. We can look forward to sunshine, Pimms and Wimbledon. But for thousands of loved-up couples it''s also the ideal time to tie the knot.

Depending on how old you are, you might only have one wedding to go to this summer, but if you are between the ages of 25 and 35 you are probably going to be attending a wedding at least once a month, if not every other week this wedding season.

Aside from being a time to celebrate, catch up with old friends, meet new ones and generally party the night away in a marquee somewhere, weddings are renowned for being expensive. From the smalles things such as place settings and invitations to the largest things such as venue and food, the whole thing can spiral out of control resulting in a stress-filled nightmare for the bride and groom and probably their parents too.

But it isn''t just the upcoming Mr and Mrs that are delving deep into their pockets. Guests ? particularly women ? also have to shell out more than a few pounds for the joyous day.

Weddings require a certain dress code. Men can usually pull off the same suit with a mere tie change for each occasion, but women aren''t so lucky and are under pressure to have a new dress for each wedding and sadly Primark doesn''t have a great range of wedding attire. This means a Karen Millen and Ted Baker price range, which after you have bought three dresses is not leaving your bank balance in a healthy condition.

But then you need to get there, stay there and eat there. If it is a one day affair then you are in luck, but weddings are often times for old friends to be reunited and this can mean a trip to Manchester from London or even Seville from Leeds. If you have to do this more than once in a summer, forget about having your own summer holiday.

Finally, you need to buy a present. It''s not just the cost, knowing what to buy, especially if you are attending a wedding of a school friend you haven''t seen in 10 years, can be a bit tricky. However, there is an answer: wedding gift lists.

These clever little things are just like the Christmas present lists you used to send to Santa. The couple to be married set up an online wish list with either a department store or a specific gift website, they then send you a log-in or you just enter their name in the search box and up pops their list. You can then choose an item that is suitable, at a price you can afford to pay and the website then delivers the gift with a message from you to the happy couple. Easier than saying ''I do''.
