The Wedding Gift
by: Sharon Lauer
One of the most special times in a person’s life can be their wedding day. Much planning, preparation and emotion can go into that special day. For those
wanting a huge celebration of their union it can take years of decisions and dedication to make it come out just the way it was in their dreams. It’s a tribute to
the special bond two people can have and an important event to mark the beginning of a couple’s life together.
No matter if the wedding is grand or simple, the event is almost always marked with a wedding gift for the special couple. In times past, the gift was usually a
household item. Embarking on their new life together meant buying their first house and living as a family. Linen, china and small kitchen appliances were
given to help the couple set up their new house.
Today we find many couples living together before they have a wedding. At the time of their wedding their house is already set up. Which leads to the question,
“What do we give the special couple to celebrate their vows to each other?”
For some, gifts have shifted from household items to personal items. Spa packages and pampering products are seen being given to the bride and sports
tickets and sports equipment to the groom. Sometimes a special event package is added on to the honeymoon or plane tickets are upgraded to first class.
Most resorts and cruise lines have fruit, flower and gourmet gift baskets that can be purchased and placed in the newlywed’s room for you.
For far away friends and family the gift search can be even more of a challenge. Gift cards although less than personal are, as they say, always the right size.
Hiring a maid for the new couple to clean for a few months is a nice idea. Gift baskets filled with tasty delicacies the couple wouldn’t normally treat themselves
to can be a delicious surprise. There is a wide variety of gift baskets to choose from containing everything from caviar and sparkling cider to brownies and
muffins. A breakfast basket containing everything necessary for a wonderful gourmet breakfast might be just the unique gift you’re looking for.
If you still want to stick with the more traditional gifts like gifts for their home, there’s still some ideas out there. A personalized quilt is a unique idea and will be
appreciated for many years to come. You could get the happy couple an upgraded appliance or a set of holiday dinnerware. A plaque for outside their home
with their house number or name is a nice touch they may not have. A security system is a great idea for everyone’s home and a gift they will remember each
time they close the door or turn off the light. A set of the finest sheets is something they may not treat themselves to but would definitely enjoy.
Although the social circumstances of marriages may have changed, our desire to celebrate the giving of vows has not. Adjusting our gift ideas can be
challenging. Be careful to consider your newlyweds and what might mean the most to them when choosing their gift. Give from the heart and you can’t go
wrong..
