[W264]Wedding Gift How Much To Give
by Rose Smith, Ros
There is no right and wrong rule to this since every couple is different, as is every wedding guest's budget. What is well received and appreciated by one couple may horrify another. If you are having trouble deciding on what would be a proper wedding gift, here are some questions to consider to help guide you in your gift selection:

- What are the bride and groom's personalities like? Are they a fun-loving couple? Are they eccentric? Are they very conservative? By answering such questions you should be better able to search for gift ideas that will suit their personalities, and therefore be happily received.

- What hobbies and interests do they have? Choose gifts that will enhance the enjoyment of their interests. For example, some couples love bowling together. Search for a gift that's related to this sport such as matching personalized bowling hats.

- What type of food do they both love? If they love Italian food, then a gift certificate to a romantic Italian restaurant would be appropriate. Another idea is to put together or purchase an Italian food gift basket for a romantic picnic. If they're the type of couple that loves barbecued foods, a gift basket full of barbecue sauces, recipes and spices would be a welcomed wedding present.

- How is their home decorated? For those who know the couple well and have been in their home, you may want to look for something that will compliment their decor, such as a special figurine, a picture or a collectible.

- Choose a gift based on the theme of their wedding. This can become a collection of wedding memories that they could display in their home. As an example, our wedding featured hearts and swans as the theme. Based on that wedding theme, some of the gifts we've received for anniversaries have been a small table fountain featuring two swans "in the pond," and a musical swan snow globe.

- Do they have a gift registry set up? If so, you can choose something that you know they are guaranteed to like.

- Gift a gift of money. If you still can't decide, then send a check equal to what you would have spent on a wedding present. Make it out to Mr. and Mrs. Whatever (unless the bride is keeping her maiden name - in which case use both names on the check).

That is why in your most romantic moments like weddings, this should be part of the plan. The photos are great but nothing beats the feeling of watching the drama and the passion in every kiss and every gaze both couple could share. The union of two people is filled with emotions and happiness. This is something that couples could not miss when they look back years from now.

Although it is a fact that it can be very expensive to have your videos professionally done, the results can be amazing. It is normal that the output will look simple and not cinema like at first. However, when professionals apply their magic tricks, you will be happy with the output. They key to have it presented in a way as if you are telling a story is through video editing. Not all people have a talent to understand this process. Only the computer savvy or those, whose jobs are inclined to working with computers, usually have the talent to create wonderful outputs that can be sufficient in making a simple wedding videography.

In fact, if you are one of those who have this gift, it can be your perfect gift to your friend. If they do not have video coverage, you can do it for them. Just do not forget to do these things in order to create videos at an acceptable level or even get results almost professionally done:

If you must, do survey the area. Check for the lighting and see if it is sufficient to capture quality images. Just remember in case you want to provide one, choose lights the can give the right amount of illumination; and not to make them too bright or people will be glaring.

Choose areas that can be a great site for capturing videos. You can ask the couple to stare lovingly at each other, do the walk while holding hands, moments of whispering sweet nothings and almost anything that could show how much love there is between the two. These are things that you can capture other than the typical areas and can be vital in editing the videos.

Try to interact with the guests too by interviewing them. Pick out what is on their mind with regard to the wedding celebration. This will also be an opportunity for the guests to give them their wishes for the newly weds.

Since interviewing will be part of making this wedding videography, do not forget to use microphone. If the people speaking do not have good voice quality, try to use an external microphone to get a good one. They will surely sound better despite the uncalled for noise at the background.

Do use a tripod to make video shots more stable. The use of tripod is better used when your focal point is fixed. However, eliminate it once you are on the move because it takes much time and it can be difficult to carry around.

Summary

Couples should really have their videos taken on their wedding day. They do not need to be professionally done but friends, like you who have talent in taking videos and who knows video editing, can make them possibly. Try it out! This may be the best gift you can give to your newly wedded friends.
