A wedding is the start of a whole new life. A celebration of their bond and that is where wedding gifts come in. If we look through the ages, we will find that wedding gifts were not exactly gifts at all. In fact, they were "hand me" downs from friends and relatives to the new couple to set up their new home together. Anything that was considered necessary to start up a new home was given to the newly married couple and in return the same was expected of them at the wedding of someone else.
As the socio economic sphere of the world changes, these offers to set up new home took on the multidimensional face of Wedding Gifts. Today, Wedding Gifts have taken on a life of their own! As a matter of fact, in some cases, Wedding Gifts can outshine the wedding itself. While some are extravagantly expensive, others can be just as extravagantly creative. Today, Wedding Gifts do not just reflect the good will; they are also expected to show that they are a reflection of the gift givers' financial status, their relationship with the newly wedded couple, and their level of emotional attachment.
However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. The real deal is deciding "What to Give". So here are a few trendy ideas that can help you pass this test of emotion with flying colors.
Gift giving initially starts from the moment the couple announces their Engagement. It is also the perfect time for them to set the tone and pace for friends and family to start preparing for The Big Day! Although it is not obligatory for friends and family to give gifts on an engagement, yet a thoughtful gesture is always appreciated.
It is only a matter of time when the Bridal showers and the Bachelor Parties come in place. While Bachelor Parties are mostly a celebration of a man's end of bachelorhood, a great and thoughtful way of making this occasion memorable is by presenting him with a tie or cufflinks. Bridal showers are a way of preparing the new bride for her life as a wife; therefore, gifts which will enhance the quality of her future life are the most appropriate ones. However, if the bridal shower has been assigned to a particular theme, it is appropriate to give gifts accordingly. Most couples these days register the gifts that they want at their favorite store. There could be two different registries that a couple might make: one for their bridal shower or bachelore party and the other one for their wedding. A bridal shower registry can help you determine the gifts that your friend really wants. Ideally, the gifts that are available on the registry vary in price ranges so that guests can have lots of choices in what they can afford or not. A great bridal shower gift is a completely paid for gift certificate for a Spa Treatment for the bride before her big day or a bridal makes up voucher could really make her day.
Now let's come to the Real Deal, The Wedding Present! Wedding Gifts for the groom could have apparel accessories like tie, cufflinks or scarves. Gift voucher from a leading lifestyle brand or electronics store is a great idea too and if the groom is tech savvy, the latest in electronics or electronic accessories would be ideal.
Wedding Gifts for the bride, jewelry, fashion apparel and home accessories make thoughtful gifts while a gift certificate will give the bride a chance to get what she really wants. Apart from the gifts, they may have registered at their preferred store. Knowing their preferences, a travel package sponsoring, an all-paid paid 'trip for two' can also be presented or best of all, gift them a honeymoon package to a romantic destination. So now you are ready to make the perfect impression with the perfect Wedding gift!
