When a couple is getting married, they receive a number of typical wedding gifts. A lot of what they get, they may never use. So if you want to have a real help to the couple and get them a fun, interesting gift, you need to come up with creative wedding gifts. Everyone can recognize when someone has gone out of their way in getting a gift. Giving a creative wedding gift would show that you really care about them.

There are a number of different types of creative wedding gifts. You can give something that is practical, yet presented in a creative way or you can go with fun items that may not be necessary, but are appreciated nonetheless. One idea for something that will really be enjoyed by the couple is a collection of board games. Since most newweds like to have people over for dinner, this is a wonderful gift. The couple can throw a dinner party and have games for everyone to play afterwards or keep things simple and just throw a game night that involves easy snacks and games. Even if the couple would prefer to spend time as just the two of them, having exciting games around will keep them from getting bored at times.

Another great idea for creative wedding gifts is making theme baskets. The nice thing about this type of gift is that it can be practical or just fun. Some practical gifts would be to fill the basket with cooking utensils, bath products, or nice things to decorate the home. If you would rather go with something that is fun, you could fill the basket with sports items or DVDs. The possibilities are endless when it comes to creative wedding gifts that are made using themed baskets. Once you have decided what to put in the basket, pick out a nice basket to hold everything. Then close up the gift with cellophane and a bow or try to come up with another nice way to have everything stay together. Sometimes you don not have to use a real basket to hold everything. For example, you could use a large strainer to hold kitchen utensils.

Since the couple will receive a number of picture frames for the wedding and most of them will never get used, you could put a new twist on this type of gift to make it more appealing. To turn this into a creative wedding gift you could blow up a cute picture of the couple and put it into a nice frame or you could make a collage of pictures and find a nice way to frame it.

One of the creative wedding gifts that is truly original is giving a personalized calendar. All you need to do is find twelve good pictures of the couple and go to your near office supply store to have it made. Or if you prefer to do it yourself, you could try to create the calendar on your computer. It would take a lot more work, but it would make the calendar even more personal and unique.

The wonderful thing about giving creative wedding gifts is that they do not have to be very expensive. By using a little creativity you can come up with an amazing gift idea that is affordable and will definitely be appreciated by the couple.
