The main thing for bridal gift -givers to remem- ber is that today's bride and groom tend to be practical minded. For instance, the thought- ful gift, of a counter -top broiler is greatly appre- ciated by the young couple, whose first few years of marriage may be spent in a space - less apartment. The prohibitive cost of -sterling silver items has made gifts of sterling a rarity. But it is this very expensiveness which makes them .all the - more precious.
