From Wedding Dresses to Wedding Gifts

There is something to be said about buying a unique wedding gift. First of all, it better be unique and creative enough to go beyond the traditional gift of money. Most couples prefer cash as it helps with wedding expenses and the honeymoon. However, if you have it in your head that you want to give a truly unique gift as opposed to money, here are some ideas that you might consider.

If the couple you are buying for have purchased a home hire an interior decorator to come in and give suggestions or redo a room. Or put together a unique “new home” gift basket with tools, “how-to-do-it” books, wine, cheese and crackers for the newlyweds who probably need all the “home advice” they can get.

If you know the couple’s creative preferences, buy a piece of art that they can display in their home. A special painting, unique vase or rare antique piece will hold a special meaning for the bride and groom. You could also make your own piece of are buy making a collage of photographs of the couple, family and friends.

If the couple enjoys the outdoors give them a gift certificate for a hiking or whitewater rafting getaway weekend. That would be quite a unique surprise for them. If they’re just plain, old-fashion romantic send them on a weekend adventure to a beach or ski resort. Plan the trip for several months after the wedding. The newness will be wearing off, and they will need and appreciate the break.

Personalized wedding gifts make a unique personal statement of their own. Apart from communicating a message of love and support, personalized gifts stand out in the mind of the receiver for all time. The market is flooded with gift options waiting to be grabbed. A personalized wedding gift adds special personal touches to the gift items, to distinguish them from a crowd of other gifts. Personalized gifts display the time and effort a giver has put in to select a gift that appeals to the couple’s tastes, likes or hobbies. Whether it is a gift from a business associate or partner, a close relative or friend, or simply an acquaintance, personalized gifts are always the perfect choice.

Apart from bridal showers or hosting a party, a parent can provide an additional personalized gift. A handmade scrapbook filled with pictures from birth till the wedding date, or a handwritten poem beautifully framed, with names of the couple and wedding date engraved on it, can stand out as gifts cherished and treasured by most couples.

Personalized family portrait platters complete with the names of the members, hand-painted customized ceramic vases, signature photo quilts, polymer clay images of the couples, personalized signature family tree frames, frame kits, monogrammed names and initials on precious objects, or survival kits for the newlyweds are a few of the numerous gift options for any giver.

Signature ceramic platters which the guests can sign, or twin crystal glasses, candlesticks or wine glasses with the couple’s names engraved or etched on them are memorable mementos for a wedding couple, to showcase with pride forever. For religiously inclined couples, a personalized Bible is a good choice. For those enthusiastic about a particular sport, sets like fishing, golf, or billiards can be given. Most grooms cherish mementos like personalized pub signs or a baseball autographed by a famous player. Personalized gift can also range from gardening kits to house appliances for those having a liking for such things.
