First Year Wedding Gifts

View:

The wedding is just around the corner and you have not bought a gift yet. What do you do? Do you go and buy an appliance they will receive three or four of? Actually, instead of falling into the same old trap of useless gifts at a wedding, be creative or go all out so that the thank you letter you receive, really means thank you.

1. Money is an excellent gift. This will allow the newlywed couple to put it towards their honeymoon, furniture, a car, or any bills that may need to pay following the honeymoon. Never worry about giving cash at a wedding as most couples will welcome it. To give the gift with a bit more emotional weight, attach a letter telling the couple how much they mean to you.

2. Go all out and buy them an expensive gift. Usually if the gift has been put on the wedding gift registry, it is something they do not expect to receive. The fact they received their dream gift will be a huge surprise for them at the wedding. The smiles you see on their faces will be real, which in its own way is a gift to you. If you do not have the money to buy it, go in on it with a group of wedding guests.

3. Buy them a beautiful hotel room for their first night as a married couple. Giving a gift like this will give them a gift worth its weight in gold, as the memory of that room will stick with them for the rest of their lives. Help them start their marriage off right but let the wedding party know about your plans so that there won't be dual reservations.

4. Go sentimental and give them something truly special. Perhaps make it a special bottle of wine that can only be drank on special occasions, or a gift that cannot be opened for ten years. Make a quilt for them, or buy a special antique for their house. Whatever the gift is, make it stand out and make it memorable.

5. Make their honeymoon special by buying them gift certificates for restaurants in the area You might pick up the cost of the plane tickets or upgrade them to first class. Buy them a camera to get amazing photos from their honeymoon or foot the bill on tours of historic sites if they are into that sort of thing.

First Year Wedding Gifts

Chances are, when you have a wedding, you are going to get more bad gifts than good ones. Usually the gifts will be in the form of kitchen appliances, odd decorative items or gag gifts. Despite the fact that most people know what bad gifts are, many still give them out of laziness or an obscure sense of humor.

A recent poll asked brides what the worst gifts they ever received were. These were some of the results:

1.A welcome mat for your house is a nice thing to have but it is a very cheap gift to give for a wedding present. Chances are, if they wanted a welcome mat, they would have one by now so there is little point in buying one.

2.A cake stand has one purpose and one purpose only, to hold a cake. Unless you make cakes on a daily basis, you are not going to get much mileage out of it and it will collect dust in the cupboard.

3.Nothing says here is to a successful marriage, like a food dehydrator. Now the couple can spend hours on end together dehydrating food together, like all good couples should.

4.Cleaning supplies serve a practical purpose, but that purpose is not to be a wedding gift. If you give cleaning supplies as a wedding gift, you are telling the couple: a) they need to clean their house, b) housework is woman's work.

Cleaning supplies for a gift is distasteful and cheap so avoid it at all costs.

5.Decorative lamps that are very tacky will never be out in the living room, except when you come to visit. Lamps are something we can all buy and we all have certain looks we want for our houses, so the chances are the lamp you buy is not going to fit their look. Stay away from lamps and other decorative items unless you know for sure the couple will like them. Don't pick something that you like, because they may not like it.

Other things to avoid when giving gifts at a wedding are pictures, unless it has sentimental value, anything that can be bought at the dollar store, trivial knick-knacks, anything that is offensive or rude and this includes gifts of a humorous sexual nature.

When you are at a wedding, you want to hit a home run with your gift, not swing and miss, falling flat on your butt.
