Wedding

Nothing helps a couple remember their special day like a personalized wedding gift. Such a gift can bring back all the sentiment of their ceremony and celebration by displaying their names, initials or wedding date on a precious item.

Personalized gifts are widely available, though most stores will add a small charge for this service. It is important to note that a personalized gift will usually require additional processing time, which may delay delivery. Therefore, when ordering a personalized item, it is important to purchase the gift well in advance of the wedding date.

Monogrammed Gifts

Monogrammed gifts are both practical and romantic. From towels and glassware to stationary, monogrammed wedding gifts are a personal treasure.

Personalized Photo Options

Newlyweds are left with literally hundreds of photos documenting their wedding day and honeymoon. Engraved frames and photo albums give the couple beautiful storage and display options. These wedding gifts are usually personalized with the couple’s wedding date.

Autographed Gifts

Document the well-wishes of family and friends with an autographed gift. Wedding guests can sign a large matte of a photo frame, a specially made platter, or a fabric wall hanging.

Home D้cor Items

Many home items can be personalized with beautiful results. Engraved photo coasters can display wedding memories while protecting new furniture. Embroidered throws accent the married couple’s home with color and warmth. Seasonal gifts such as personalized ornaments and tree skirts can add to the new couple’s holiday decorations. Embroidered table linens allow the newly married couple to entertain with pride.

Spiritual Items

For the devout couple, a personalized Bible would hold special significance — if given in advance of the wedding, it could even be used as part of the ceremony. An engraved wall cross for display in the home is another option for the spiritual pair.

A Personalized Future Toast

Wedding guests can order bottles of wine or champagne with personalized labels for the happy couple. Engraved wine glasses or bottle stoppers would nicely compliment the wedding gift. The married couple can open the bottles to toast on their honeymoon, or save them for a milestone anniversary.

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.

Traditionally the newly wedded couple received wedding gifts with the idea to help them out in setting up a household, but in these times with the people marrying rather late in life and most of them well settled in their households in variety of settings are not in desperate need of another blender or toaster.

Like everything else the gift giving style has changed for weddings. First it was the wedding registries where the couple registered for the items that they thought they needed to start in married life which was considered pretty tacky in some circles but people got over it and now it has become almost a norm. In fact, whoever does not register with some sort of wedding service is considered strange. The wedding registries like everything else evolved from modest to outrageous depending on ones social status and financial position.

Then came the celebrity and rich or ultra rich “charity donation” concept, since these people could afford most things in life and then some more, they did not need to set up a humdrum household.

Finally now is the time of “money” wedding gifts, although it has been around for centuries for instance bride or grooms parents or rich relatives helping out with money gifts on the wedding day. In many countries it is a tradition to give “money” to the groom and bride on their wedding, for example in South East Asian cultures.

What is considered “Tacky” is the actual statement that the couple would like to have a monetary gift. There are many ways to get creatively around this sticky subject. The bride and grooms friends can drop a hint something like “ you know they are saving for a down payment on a car or a house etc”.

There are many places that the guests can register for monetary wedding gifts rather than the traditional gifts. There are certain banks that have wedding registries for the couple where a money gift can be made towards a down payment on a house.

It is only a matter of time when the “money” gifts will not be a controversial subject and will be widely accepted in western culture.

Go ahead and don’t be afraid to find a creative way to ask for a money gift on your wedding.
