Although a gift is not technically mandatory, most people will one to give one to their friends and relatives when they get married. Choosing the perfect gift is not always simple. You want it to be unique and impressive, while still being affordable. Luckily, there are many great ideas for wedding gifts.
A good place for wedding guests to start is with the couple's bridal registry. It would be a very rare couple who is not registered somewhere. If you do not know the couple very well, picking something from their registry can be the easiest way to go. Sometimes a group, such as the groom's coworkers, may decide to chip in together on one larger gift instead of buying smaller gifts individually.
Even if you prefer to select a more unique gift, take a peek at the bridal registry for inspiration. It is an easy way to get a sense of the couples needs, needs, taste, and lifestyle. Let's say that you see that they have ordered a corkscrew, ice bucket, and other barware. This would let you know that entertaining is something that the bride and groom enjoy. A very special gift that a guest could give this couple is a set of unique and fabulous vintage cocktail glasses.
Another source of inspiration is the couple's hobbies and pastimes. If you know that the bride and groom love to travel, a wonderful wedding present would be a good set of luggage, perhaps with their monogram. Gifts do not have to be objects either. If the bride and groom share a passion for a sports team, then tickets to a big game would make a much appreciated gift.
When you are seeking the perfect wedding gift, think luxury. Even when picking a practical gift, look for something that is a step above what the couple would buy for themselves. A set of handtowels becomes something lovely when they are monogrammed. If the bride usually buys her sheets on sale, splurge on a set of the finest Egyptian cotton sheets for her. Everyday luxuries are often the best kind.
A close family member may prefer to give something personal. One of the most cherished wedding gifts that a bride could receive would be a piece of jewelry from her new mother-in-law. Gifts like wedding jewelry show the recipient how much they mean to you, and are a gracious way to say "Welcome to the family!".
Sometimes a great wedding gift can be the practical things that you would never think to buy for yourself, but will really be able to use. When I got married, one of my bridesmaids wave me a set of storage bags designed to protect all of my new fine china. It may not have been the most thrilling gift, but it was something that I was grateful to receive.
When looking for just the right gift, keep in mind what you know about the couple. Select a gift that you know will suit their taste, encourage their hobbies, or remind them of good times that you have shared together. If you put your heart into the wedding gift, you can be certain that it will be absolutely perfect.
