- Money – This is perhaps the mos practical way to giving gifts for the newlyweds. Married couple sure have a lot of plans in store ahead of the wedding.
The money can be used to pay for some of the bills they have incurred for the wedding. Asking money is different from you giving money as a gift.
If you think that giving cash gifts is a bit improper, insert the cash envelope inside your simple gift.
- Choose the cheapest from the couple’s registered items – They usually sign up for gifts they think they cannot afford so passing the buck to the guest is a good idea. Get the gift yourself if you have a lot of money to spare.
- A one night hotel stay at one of the most expensive hotels – The wedding day is surely unforgettable so make it more memorable with an evening stay at a grand hotel for the couple. Just make sure to check the couple’s itinerary before booking a room.
- Iconic wedding gift – Give something that is worth keeping on the display table like a wine opener or champagne glasses.You can also ask a shop to personalize your gift with the couple’s initials.
- Honeymoon Sweeter Than Planned – Get the couple some gift certificates they can use together. If the couple is staying in a small room once they get to their honeymoon location, you may want to upgrade their accommodation to a bigger suite.
Many Tips to Get the Right Wedding Gifts
In some cases it is very easy to pick the right gift for the happy couple, because they prepared a wedding wish list for all the guests. You can pick up one of the gifts on their list, which fits your budget.
If they can’t offer a wedding wish list, sometimes it can be hard to find the right wedding present. It should something outstanding, shouldn’t it? At first you should think how close is your relationship with the couple. How well you know them? Are you able to guess, what gift they would like to get?
– Should it be money, a product, a holiday trip or a personal wedding gift?
Of course, that is up to you. Money is always a great idea, because the couple can decide by themselves, how to use the money. To offer money in an envelope is something they want, but it is not personal or creative either.
If you think, money will be the best for the couple’s new life, get a voucher from a Shopping Mall. The voucher is usually personalized and can be used for any occasion.
– What will be very helpful for the couple’s future?
If you have a close relationship with the bride or groom, a personal wedding gift will be unforgettable. For example: A unique wedding gift can be a 2 week holiday trip to Paris (the City of Love) or a relaxing honeymoon weekend at the Bahamas.
– Can you afford it or could you get together in a group and work together for a large gift like this.
A more personal option would be to create or get a personalized wedding gift. For example a self painted picture or any art object as decoration for the new home, or a wonderful homemade three -tier cake for the wedding party.
Another option is to surprise the couple with something, what they would never purchase by themselves. For Example: A water bed. They need a bed to sleep on, but they may not spend so much money on a useful and comfortable item like a water bed. The amount of money you spend on a wedding gift is not so important; it is more worthy that your present is coming from the heart.
