Getting invited to a wedding is something to look forward to. It also requires a lot of preparation from the dress, shoes, accessories, and of course, the wedding gift. If you come to think about it, as long as you have a gift to give, it is the couple's problem whether they will like it or not. But let us go to the practical side of giving the "right" wedding gift. What should we ask ourselves before we buy the gift? We want to give something that is unique and special, especially if we are really close to the newly weds.
Here are some Wedding Gift
ideas that you might consider in choosing a wedding gift:
Setting the budget: You must have an idea of how much you are willing to spend for the wedding gift. This will help narrow your choices.
What gift to buy: If you know the bride or the groom very well, you can personally ask them what they would need after the wedding. If not, you can find something that they can use when they start their new life together like useful things in the house most especially in the bedroom, bathroom or kitchen.
Where to buy the gift: You can check in the gift registry the list of things that the couple wanted. If it fits your budget, then it's fine to buy there. But if the prices are too high, you have the freedom to buy in other stores as well. Remember that the price is not important but the quality of the product.
If the couple will be moving out of town after the wedding, you might want to give them cash instead. This is a more practical choice that the couple would really appreciate more, and you are sure that they will bring it with them.
You can also personalize your wedding gift. If you are a creative person and you think you can make something out of old photos or things that is meaningful to the couple, then why not?
The wedding gift is such an issue when you are invited to a wedding. The thought of it sometimes would make someone decide not to go. But come to think about it, is it what the wedding is all about? People these days seem to forget the real meaning of a wedding. It should be a happy occasion to celebrate the union of two people with family and close friends as witnesses to the vows of their love. The couple is just as happy and excited to share this wonderful event with you. So getting an invitation is an honor because not everyone will be a part of this special occasion. So maybe one should realize that the best wedding gift that you can give the newly weds will be your presence during the entire occasion. The other material details will be secondary. As others would say, you can never bring back the memories shared by people in a special occasion. So it's something to think about, right?
