Tying the nuptial knot is a very important occasion in the lives of the people involved as in an Indian wedding and specifically in the Hindu mythology, the wedlock is not a bond that merely connects two people until death but it is considered unison of two souls until the next seven births. Keeping in consideration, the piety and the immunity significance of the occasion, the wedding gift for a couple must be chosen with extra care and sensitivity as it has to be good enough to help add an extra special edge to the most important day in the lives of those two persons who are going to embark upon a new and vital sojourn of their lives.
Special gifts evoke special memories. It is not at all just about the value of the gift but it is more about the good feelings that it will give about the occasion and the day. So, do not just make it a task of mere formality as you have been entrusted with the onerous task of giving two people some fond memories which they will be cherishing for the whole of their lives
Here are a few tips on how you should go about choosing an appropriate wedding gift for a couple
Many Indian weddings these days have an option of gift registry. You must first check if this is available. Never approach the bride to-be or the groom to-be or any of their family members directly, instead try talking to some friend of the family members. In case, you find everything in the list out of your budget then either pool the amount along with some friend or use your own discretion in getting something else.
If you are planning to buy some work of art or a keepsake, then do keep their aesthetic style in mind and not something that you would love to display in your showcase. In case, you do not have an idea about their preferences and tastes, then it is better to go for something neutral instead of something that is too much steeped in a particular genre like the exceptionally traditional, formal, abstract etc.
Go for some household items because it is always the safest bet, if you do not know the bride and groom that well. However, you must try to move away from the conventional set of glasses or cutlery. Be original and pick up something which would fit well into their lifestyle.
Personalized gifts are also an option for you if you are close to the couple. Pick up something that can be special to them as a couple or something that can be a memento of their good, old days before marriage.
In any Indian wedding, you can always return to gifts made of gold and silver like jewelery, coins, idols etc.
You can also go for cash or gift vouchers but keep that for a last resort option.
After the gift selection, make sure to get it wrapped by some special wedding gift wrappers as good packaging makes a lasting impression on the recipient. And remember, to accompany that with a bouquet. After all, you are going to be a part of the task of creating some ever-fragrant, beautiful, extraordinary memoirs for a life span!
