Basically dress up like you're a million dollar man and leave the venue looking like a total piece of shit with 50% of attendees wishing they had never met you. If you achieve anything less than that, you may as well have stayed at home. Extra points if you fuck a bridesmaid.

This is so accurate. 100% accurate. If you don't know what to get them for a gift and they don't have some wish list, just give them some cash + the cost of your meal. I think I usually just drop off a card with a $100 in it if there's an open bar and the food's good. Make friends with people so it's not a terribly boring thing and get drunk, but not too drunk where you make an ass of yourself at their wedding.

Hopefully the DJ is relevant so hitting the dance floor isn't a chore but it's always nice to make it look like they spent their money well on the weekend warrior DJ.

I've never been to a Muslim wedding but it sound like proper garbage. Bring a couple water bottles with silver tequila in them instead and take a shit on the dance floor if they question why you seem to be acting strange.

(jeff):
If nothing else, just remember the day is about YOU. Act like it. Steal a gift, clog a toilet, tell the bride she's fat.

Prodigal Son:
Bring your own gift label and put it where you ripped someone else's off.

GUMP_:
Give cash. If they haven't been living together long enough not to have a house full of shit that's not your problem. $100 is about the normal.

LeonLikesToRock:
An appropriate gift could be money, something from a registry but a real winner is something with a more personal touch. Like a nice, well framed, professional glamour photography portrait of yourself. Nothing too revealing, you want to make the viewer to imagine what you are covering with that well placed pillow. You should sign it and write a personalised message like "Have you still got my Breaking Bad dvds?" in gold marker for authenticity.
