Top 5 Wedding gift ideas by Latha Lukose

You have been invited to a wedding, you are thrilled and would love to go. Wait, you think! What should you buy? You want something unique, but not weird; something less pricey but not cheap. You want your wedding gift to really stand out. Let me help you choose a wedding gift, at least get you started on finding a good wedding gift.


Idea #1 Give cash

Yes, you read it right. As simple as it sounds, it might be a very good and wise choice. Do you remember how many times you have received a gift and hated it. Even though we have the best intentions in mind we must remember that the gift we choose is based on what we think is the best choice. Do you really think this might be what the couple might want. Also, considering the huge amount of money the couple spent on their wedding, they might actually be very grateful for the cash they receive which can go towards paying off their bills.


Idea #2 Gift a Plant
I personally love the idea of gifting plants whether they are houseplants, trees, flowering plants. They symbolize life to me. it kind of ties in with the new journey the couple are starting out on. It represents hope, love, care, beauty, aspirations and is so very wonderful. I generally never gift a cactus but it is totally up to you.


Idea #3 Gift a getaway trip
Many people love to receive a travel package as a gift. Contrary to what you might think, you can get good deals on honeymoon packages or a cruise. Just decide on your budget and start hunting. You never know what you may dig up. Keep in mind that you are aware of the schedule of the bride and groom. They should be able to take time off for the trip, so find some creative ways to figure out how to plan that special trip for them.


Idea #4 Gift household items
Household items include kitchenware to furniture to bedding. If the couple is planning to take a new place after the wedding you can help furnish their place. Even if they do have furniture, you can still ask around and find what they would love to have.


Idea #5 Make a personalized Gift basket
Personalized gift baskets are something's I love. Personalized means it shows that you went out of the way and took the time to make something for the couple. It shows you care for them. Don't be afraid to let your creativity flow. Put together a basket of goodies, maybe kitchenware, or albums or whatever you think will be perfect for the couple.

Wedding gifts are gifts that will last for a lifetime. Choose wisely, whether it be cash, a dinner for two, a honeymoon package, or kitchenware. It doesn't matter. Choose wisely and have fun!
