Wedding Gifts: Go Safe, Or Go Personal
Wedding season is in full swing, and here are some thoughts about getting that special couple something meaningful…
| 1 | Cash – $$ |
The first option, in my opinion is to always go with the safe bet – cash. Honestly, it’s what couples really want, especially young first-timers. Maybe a second marriage, later in life, calls for a change in tactics, so take that into consideration. |
| 2 |
Universal Gift Card
|
If straight cash doesn’t feel right to you, you might feel OK with a gift certificate of some sort. Again, the safe bet here is something like an Amazon gift card. This gives them flexibility to choose what they want, and you didn’t technically just give them money (but, it’s really semantics when it comes to such a universally-accepted gift card). |
| 3 |
UNIQUE Gift Certificate!
|
If you are thinking about a gift certificate, but want it to be something a bit more unique, you could either choose a “fun” online shop like Uncommon Goods or perhaps a high-end, artistic shop like Artful Home. BUT, even better, how about giving them a gift certificate to an “experience gift” company like Cloud 9 Living? Let them choose from a wide range of experiences like a decadent dinner, spa treatments, golf getaways, stock car racing, ninja lessons, fighter pilot for a day, or many other exotic treats! |
| 4 |
Gift Registry
|
Another safe, and obvious bet, is to purchase something off of their gift registry. After all, they picked out the merchandise, which means they like it and may even need it. |
| 5 |
Personalized Gift (Case of Wine?)
|
If cash, gift certificates, and wedding registries aren’t your thing, try to stay away from guessing what their tastes are. It’s bound to be a failure. At least, it could be a failure, and you really don’t want to be that person!
I think that a personalized wedding gift could really hit the spot. Again, try and stay away from guessing what kind of decor they might like. One potential option is purchasing a case of nice wine, with personalized labels that mark the special wedding day. You could have the labels simply state “Mr. & Mrs. So-and-So’s Personal Wine“, and have the date of the wedding on the label. Or, you can get creative with naming the wine, coming up with cute/funny/meaningful statements, using photos of the couple, creating your own artistic label (if you have that kind of talent), etc. See examples of personalized wine bottles. Other liquors/champagnes/beverages could be fun as well. |
What are your thoughts on the ideal wedding present?
