    Well, if he's a good friend you should have an idea of what he'd like. If there are things on their registry still open that you think would be good just go for that, otherwise try to come up with something that you think suits him (and her). Don't just give cash. That's okay for some people, but for close friends you should really try to come up with something other than cash.

    If you can't come up with something special to get that you know he'll like, go for something off the registry. That's what it's for; to guarantee you are buying them something which is wanted but not yet received.

    I had a somewhat similar experience last month. A good friend who was a groomsman in my own wedding, and whom I hadn't seen in over a year, was getting married and my wife fell terribly ill on the morning we were supposed to drive down. I doubled the gift to $100 (no hangups about giving cash here) and included a sincere and profuse apology in writing. Sorry we didn't get to meet whatsherface, I'm sure she's a great gal, you still my dogg, catch you next time.

    He's real easygoing too, and even my close friends aren't really touchy-feely with one another (men not sharing emotions... imagine that), but I could tell he appreciated that I took the time to wish them the best of luck.
