How to Buy a Great Wedding Gift For The Happy Couple
How to Buy a Great Wedding Gift For The Happy Couple
Your best friends have decided to tie the knot and you couldn't be happier. They're also having an Arizona wedding and that's great, too. Now, you have to decide what to get the happy couple as a wedding gift. There are several things to take into consideration when buying a wedding gift. If you live close enough that you can transport the gift, your options are wide open. If you have to fly to Arizona to attend the wedding, your options might be a bit more limited.
Rather than buying the bride and groom a blender, punch bowl or sterling silver serving platter, why not try to make your gift more unique. Think outside the gift registry box. Take some time to think about what you know about the couple. How or where did you meet them? Do they (the couple) share a particular hobby or support a particular cause? Are they in the midst of purchasing and remodeling a home? Have they planned a dream vacation for their honeymoon? Once you have the answers to any of these questions your gift-buying options can be more unique than you might have originally imagined. Your gift will stand out from the crowd.
Your friends will appreciate the time you've taken to buy them a gift that shows you truly know them. If they are both avid golfers, buy them matching monogrammed golf bags. Purchase them a membership at a local country club complete with certificates for use of a golf cart and a round of golf. If they've talked about learning to golf or golf better sign them up for a few hours of time with a golf pro so they can perfect their swing.
If they've purchased a new home and are in the midst of remodeling, consider a gift card to a local home improvement store. If you're close enough to them to know they're working with contractors, talk to the contractor about picking up part of the remodeling tab. Maybe you could talk to an interior decorator about suggestions for decorating the whole house or a room or two.
Are your friends theater buffs or wine aficionados? Do they live and breathe baseball or football? Buy them season tickets to the theater or for their favorite team. Or buy them a "night out on the town" to one event, offer tickets, transportation and dinner. If they love wine, send them on a wine tour, complete with transportation and maybe even a stay at a bed and breakfast to complete the tour.
If they're going on a honeymoon and you know the details of where they're going, why not pick up part of the honeymoon tab? Maybe pay for a night or two of the hotel room or pick up extras for their stay dinner, movies, scuba lessons or a romantic nighttime cruise.
After you've taken the time to think beyond the gift registry and come up with ideas that are as unique as the bride and groom are, they will cherish that gift.
Keep in mind if you are part of the happy couple's Arizona wedding bash, talk to them about planning for unique wedding favors. Have them think beyond the tulle-wrapped almonds, disposable cameras and matchbooks. Talk them into incorporating their shared hobbies into the wedding theme. If they're golfers, have them consider having personalized golf balls or tees as wedding favors. Do they love wine or are they known for their passion for coffee? Consider pairing up with a winery or coffee shop and offering personalized wedding favors that match that theme. Do they spend their time hiking the Grand Canyon? Incorporate a Grand Canyon theme into the favors and even the cake.
Making the decision to choose a unique wedding gift for the couple and having the couple offer perfect wedding favors to your guests makes it a memorable event for everyone. When it comes to wedding favors, talk to your Arizona wedding planner for ideas, they work in unique ideas!
