Wedding gift

So i was low on funds when the wedding of my good friend happened. I was part of the wedding party.
I was pretty broke, still am, but i told them i was going to get them a gift later when i have funds.
I wanted to get them some cruise certificates but they had so many restrictions that i didn't like i decided not to. So then i looked at airline gift certificates and they had crazy restrictions too. The reason why i decided this route was cause they didn't have a honey moon.
So then i was like fuck. I'll get them some sky diving gift certificates for a nice adventure. But the bride, after talking to her about adventures found out that she won't even ride rollercoasters. So i was like wtf. So am screwed on that idea too.
So now i am thinking, i'll just give them 500 dollar cash. I was thinking of one of those prepaid visa gift cards with 500 on them, but it annoys the crap out of me when i get them and have like .80 cents left of a dollar that i can't spend.
So what do you think i should do? I was thinking of cash because that would allow them to best spend it how they want, but i do want it to go towards a vacation or something of that sorts, some type of entertainment. But then i feel like a lazy bitch for just giving them cash and feel like its not thoughtful enough.
comments please.

Have you talked to them about what you want to do?? If not you may want to, you might be able to get them to come to a decision as to where they would want to go and just put the money towards that.

i did tell them i was going to try and get them cruise certs. but then i was like i dunno now since they got it out of me.
it was going to be a suprise.
But i still can get them certs... its just the restrictions are really fucking crazy on every cruise line company even the airplane peeps..
it also doesn't seem like they want to go on a honey moon yet, cause they have other expenses to take care of. So thats why the cash idea came up, i do want them to spend it on enterainment, but also want them to decide on what they should do with it and if they really need to i don't mind them using it to pay something off or something.

get them a gift certificate for like best buy, tell them to get some new home entertainment systems, and new dvds so they can enjoy them together. nothing beats watching some tube with your girl in the early days of marriage. cause you know ten years later you wont be able to tolerate each other long enough to finish the movie 
maybe I just marry the bitches?
