. It should be a very special occasion simply because it celebrates love on a day a couple has chosen to give a vow of eternal love for each other before God. Family, friends and relatives who are attending the ceremony play an important role. They are witnesses of a vow of fidelity.
Apart from their presence, guests also give gifts to a wedded couple. These presents are going to be a symbol of the guests' well-wishes as the couple starts taking their journey to marital bliss. If you're attending a wedding soon but are unsure what to give for a gift, the following should give some very good ideas:
1. Gift cheque- Couples don't usually receive this type of gift but these are actually appreciated because of its practicality. Couples have the freedom to choose the items that will be useful for them.
2. Home Appliances- I am not talking about giving an entertainment showcase, although a LED TV set is probably a dream come true for two people who are about to move into their new home. But if you want to give something affordable which they will surely need, give them kitchen them practical things like an oven toaster, microwave oven or even a washing machine. It all depends on your budget. Gifts like these, however, would always be appreciated.
3. Alarm clock- You may not have thought about this but this is actually very useful not only to newly married couples but to all of us. The couple can bring this item in their honeymoon.
4. Set of plates- You can buy plates or you can perhaps put in a few saucers or cups. Make sure to pick out a set of kitchen utensils that have neutral colors or design so these won't contradict to the overall design of their kitchen.
5. Wedding picture- Pick out the most unique picture of the couple during the wedding ceremony and have it framed in an elegant way. This will truly be appreciated.
6. Personalized wine bottle- Get the best wine in your place and customize it. You can do it yourself or you can have it customized in a shop. You can add the name of the couple in the label and add a picture of them and put a small note that you personally wrote for them.
The key is to remember when giving a wedded couple a gift is to think about what's going to be valuable or practical for the couple. These are the gifts that are most appreciated.
