Suggestions For Wedding Gifts?

[nck2205]

Looking to get my best mate a pair of MB pens for their wedding, seeing as how both the bride and groom are doctors, pens seem to be something they'd use for everyday work purposes. I'm eyeing the Princess Grace de Monaco for the bride (coincidentally my mate proposed to her in Monaco as well), but still having a tough time deciding on a male equivalent that would match the Monaco. Any suggestions?

The Princess Grace seems a very good choice considering the circumstances you have described. My one negative here though is that other than getting them both Montblanc pens you will be getting them completely different pens, might it be better to get them similar ones. I know it is sexist but in the Meisterstuck range they do a Le Grand and Le Classique sizes, might it be nice to get them the same pen in different sizes?

 

As for a pen for the groom, its hard for us to say as we do not know them. You're actually able to buy from the montblanc.com, although I'd recommend buying from an authorised dealer on the high street as you can hold and test the pens, I would recommend looking at the site to get an idea of price. The do a range called "Signature for Good" which raises money for UNICEF, being doctors they might appreciate this.

 

 

 

Not sure if you're planning on getting ballpoints or fountain pens. If you're looking at fountain pens are you sure they'd like them? You're looking at paying a considerable amount of money, I'd make sure they like and would appreciate them.

I would hate to say that they may find ballpoints more beneficial. Many hospitals use carbon type triple copies. I have a heck of a time using a fountain pen at work.

The Montblanc wedding pens are nice. I also agree that the signature for good series would be appropriate.

Signature for good ballpoint pen.

Unless they're fp enthusiasts, I'd also recommend ballpoint for their work.

Another vote for ballpoints. Someone actually gave a Marlene Dietrich FP for a wedding gift, and the bride decided that it wasn't really on par with her ballpoints, and gave it away (the story's here on the FPN somewhere). Not sure which version it was, as this story is a hearsay, but Marlene Dietrich commemoration pen's now priced at $4800.

Wow, thanks for the suggestions guys. Yeah I am indeed looking at getting ballpoint pens as it would be the most practical choice as well.
