Gifts for the wedding.
Anyone invited to a wedding thinks about what to present to the newlyweds as a gift . A wedding is not a birthday, respectively, and the present should be large and expensive. What to stop at? Let's try to figure it out
Choosing a wedding gift
The most common wedding present is money . Try to find large bills and be sure to buy a special envelope for them. A good gift will be a set of expensive bedding, a plaid, a large terry sheet, a set of quality dishes - those things that a young family will definitely need. If you give large household appliances (refrigerator, TV), at the wedding they present only a passport for it, and the gift itself is delivered directly to the newlyweds home.
You can consider options for unconventional gifts: a parachute jump, a plot on the moon, a gold bar, portraits of the bride and groom, a “sweet” tree hung with sweets with wishes for a “sweet” life.
You know that newlyweds are people with humor and will appreciate a cool gift ? Accompany your present with a small funny souvenir: a Flirt-for game for two, a curtain for the bathtub with a photograph of the bride and groom, paper towels with dollars, a heating pad for “warmth in the house”.
By the way, if fantasy fails you completely and you just can't come up with a wedding gift, buy a gift certificate for the bride and groom. This can be a certificate for the purchase of dishes, or a certificate for joint visits to the spa.
In addition to the main wedding present, it is customary to present flowers as well. The bouquet is presented alone from a couple or family. Do not forget that some flowers are traditionally considered to be "non-wedding" - carnations, gladioli, irises. If you are not sure that the bride has special feelings for these flowers, it is better to refrain from them.
Wedding Gifts - Help Guests Make No Mistake
The situation when the bride and groom get five sets of dishes and three sets of sheets at the wedding is not so rare. Do not want to think after the celebration, where to put the duplicated gifts? So, try to prevent this turn of events. To do this, it is enough to inform the guests about what you want to receive as a gift.
The first to appreciate the convenience of this option was the Americans. In the USA, before the wedding, the bride and groom make up a Amazon Wedding Registry , a wish list. It contains all the gifts that they would like to receive. After compiling such a list, all that remains is to familiarize the guests with it. There are several ways to do this.
- Ask parents and witnesses to “hint” the invitees about your wishes.
- Make a page on the Internet and state your preferences there. In this case, you can not only make a list of necessary things, but even attach pictures. This is convenient if the color of the gift is important to you or if it has any specific details. You can also allow guests to comment on your posts, leaving messages on who plans to give what gift. The disadvantage of this option is that not all guests can use the Internet.
