What to give for a wedding if. What to give for a wedding to newlyweds: everything for everyday life

Perhaps many of the friends of our site, seeing the title of the article, will exclaim: “Why reinvent the wheel? Why donatesomething original for a wedding? Young people need to be given money. Let me disagree with you. Even if the newlyweds hint exclusively at such a present, fantasy is the place here. For example, make an envelope with your own hands, and even money will become an original present!

Have you been invited to a wedding? The first thought that visits all the fair sex: "What to wear?". Then there is the question of the gift. What should be guided by when choosing it? The main criterion is degree of relationship/proximity newlyweds towards you. There are much more options for gifts for a brother or niece than, say, for a colleague, whom you may see more often than the relatives mentioned above, but you know much worse, and therefore you can accidentally offend with a present. Therefore, be careful when choosing it. The same rule applies to wedding toasts. If you are new to the groom and / or bride, it is better to limit yourself to standard wishes like “health, eternal love and unearthly happiness.”

A guest cannot find a better field for a flight of fancy than a couple's hobby, especially if you fundamentally do not want to give money. But then a thorough interrogation of all people close to the bride and groom will have to be carried out on the subject of their old dream.

Even a set of tea can be a gift if your newlywed friends are connoisseurs of this drink. Give something they can't buy for themselves. Each of us has such things that we have been dreaming about for a long time, but sometimes there is no money to buy them, sometimes we feel sorry for them. I was at a wedding where the bride and groom were fond of aquariums. Even their acquaintance was served by a rare goldfish, which they did not share in a specialized store. Close friends presented the couple with a large aquarium and the necessary accessories for it. The guys knew that the lovers had long dreamed of such a purchase.

At another wedding, friends gave the newlyweds as a present ... bicycles: the groom with a blue frame, the bride with a pink one. The newlyweds thought about this purchase, but did not decide on it, so their friends came up with a similar idea. The friends tied the bikes with a common bow and wished the bride and groom to go on only together.

When going to a wedding, evaluate relevance your gift. If the figure of the bride is far from ideal, then it is hardly worth presenting a certificate to the fitness center as a present to the young. You should not choose, for example, a sofa for a gift, if you know that the couple does not have their own housing, and they are moving from apartment to apartment. And, of course, your gift should be addressed to the family, and not just to the tastes of the bride or groom.

Choose and give gifts from the bottom of your heart. What makes a gift expensive is not its value, but your sincere feelings. If you are very worried about the material value of your present, then you should know: according to etiquette, the present should “pay back” the money spent on you as a guest in a restaurant. In other words, estimate how much the banquet cost for the young couple, divide by the number of guests. The amount received must be equal in value to your gift.

How to become financially free, you will learn from articles "Attracting money into your life" on the website "Sunshine Hands". If you have an idea, but financially it is difficult for you to realize it alone, attract mutual friends, relatives of the young. You will definitely find support, and the newlyweds will remember your present for a long time.

Don't forget to pack your wedding present. Even such a trifle as gift paper creates an atmosphere of joy, fun, and the importance of the event. Give the young a holiday, because it's their day! How to wrap a gift

Money as a wedding gift

If you opted for money, then buy a wedding photo album and fill out each of them
page in banknotes. Instead of an album, you can use a photo frame for these purposes. Arrange the money beautifully under glass or make a collage - next to each bill, write its purpose. For example: “To my wife for a new fur coat”, “To my husband to buy hooks”. An original wedding gift would also be this option: write on the inside of the cardboard, which serves as the basis of the frame, a wish for the young. Do not talk about it, let them see your congratulations themselves when they get the money.

At one wedding, I saw how the newlyweds were presented with a "long ruble" - it was a very original wedding gift. Friends of the couple carefully glued bills of different denominations together with adhesive tape. It turned out a ribbon of money.

At another wedding, the guests presented a basket of cabbage to the young, and each leaf was transferred with money. Friends wished the couple a speedy replenishment of offspring.

At a celebration in honor of my brother's wedding, the couple's friends built an "ATM" from a cardboard box for the original delivery of a cash gift. They put money inside. Separately, the guys made a bank card for the “ATM” and presented it in a separate envelope along with a pin code. The pin code was the date of the wedding of the young.

Buy several large postcards of various subjects (wedding, congratulations on a newborn - a girl and a boy, New Year, etc.), fasten them together with a stapler. At the bottom of each postcard, attach envelopes with money in the same way. Give a present with comic wishes.

Another original wedding gift is a bouquet of money. You will need champagne corks, toothpicks, rubber bands for money and stems (from fresh or artificial flowers). For banknotes, twist the corners inward with a toothpick, drag
bills in half with an elastic band and fix on the cork in several tiers. The bud is ready. Carefully, using double-sided tape, attach the stem to it.
If desired, make several of these flowers, decorate them with bows, ribbons - like ordinary bouquets. You can make an umbrella out of banknotes. To do this, sew envelopes on the dome of an ordinary umbrella, and put money in them. Decorate each envelope with suns. Wish the young people that their family always had good weather.

Does fantasy require a banquet? Point her...into the pillow. Order a pillow with a picture of a happy couple in a photo studio, and instead of a filler, use money and, for example, rose petals. Or put money in a jar and roll it up with a lid. Stick a message on the jar that you can only open it after the birth of your first child.

What else can you give for an original wedding?

Have you decided to donate money? I myself do not like to present them as a present.

Firstly, I know from my own experience, even if you say to give money, since you have a specific goal, that is, you save up for some thing, gift bills are spent for some reason on other things.

Secondly, the gift contains the warmth of the giver, leaves a memory of him, which cannot be said about money. Therefore, I am for "non-monetary" gifts. Of course, if the newlyweds themselves do not strongly say the opposite. Then choose one of the options suggested in the previous paragraph of the article.

A couple of years ago, I attended the wedding of a cousin of a childhood friend and was surprised by the present that was presented to the young by close relatives. Immediately after the registry office, the mother of the bride announced that guests and newlyweds were getting on buses and following the car parents. The unsuspecting newlyweds were in for a surprise - a flight in a hot air balloon. While the lovers enjoyed each other's company at a height of 200 m above the ground instead of traditional skiing, the guests indulged in earthly pleasures.
Especially for them, tables were laid right on the forest lawn.. To say what pleasure the guests and young people received means to say nothing. That's why
show originality! Instead of flying in a balloon, you can give young people a day in a sauna or a SPA center (after the wedding fuss and preparation for the event, such gifts will be very relevant), a visit to the water park, tickets to a concert of your favorite artist ...

This gift was given to my close friend. She and her husband are big fans of a famous Russian rock band. Friends bought the couple tickets for the best seats for her next concert in Moscow, supplementing the gift with train tickets and hotel reservations. Three years have passed since the wedding, and the girlfriend is still talking about that trip with sparkling eyes.

At the wedding of my relative, a witness and a witness presented a two-hour ride on white horses. The photo session of the newlyweds turned out to be wonderful, not to mention the amount of positive and pleasure that they received.

Another original wedding gift is fireworks directly at the event itself, but you should know for sure that the young people did not order it themselves. As an option, salute from butterflies. I witnessed a similar gift at one wedding. The guest, who presented this present, so intrigued the young people with a congratulatory speech that they could hardly wait for it to end to open the box. From there, butterflies flew out.

You can try another option, but for this all guests must try and there must be an organizer. Order butterflies according to the number of guests, "pack" each one in a box. The guests should surround the newlyweds as they dance the first dance and release the butterflies at the end. Bright emotions are guaranteed.

As a present for newlyweds, gift certificates are perfect (furniture store, household appliances, dishes).
Tie the certificate with a bow or pack it in a box filled with dried flowers. Accompany the gift with a basket where you put champagne / wine, sweets, a large candle, two glasses. Or give the youngsters a wall calendar. To do this, you will need joint photographs of the couple, make a collage of them, and place a calendar for the year next to it, just let it start from the date of the wedding.

In one gift shop, I once saw a very beautiful antique chest. Give a similar present to the young, fill it with useful little things that will be useful to every young family - a couple of mugs (order them in photo studio, with pictures of young people), cookery books, containers for storing kitchen utensils, a set of bed linen.

You can also donate a set of books by famous authors Rashid Kirranov and Anastasia Gai.

My close friend told me how at one of the weddings where she walked, the young people were presented with a caricature from their photographs.
The bride was depicted in a chic fur coat, and the groom was driving an expensive car. The congratulations were also original. First, a girl came out with a camera, she asked the young people to smile so that she could take a picture. After the photo session, the girl said that she needed a minute to develop the photo. At this time, a young man with a caricature came out to her. The gift was very much appreciated by both the newlyweds and the guests.

You can put portraits of young people in any work of art (to your or their taste, if you know), decorating the picture with an original frame.

A very good, original gift for a wedding - a ticket to warm countries. And for her, order the newlyweds T-shirts with the inscription JUST MARRIED. They will definitely appreciate this present!

Surprise the young with the performance of artists. My brother's friend gave him a violinist's performance for his wedding. The friend found out in advance which songs the bride and groom like, and ordered the musician to perform excerpts from them. Young appreciated the surprise. If you have a similar idea, but you don't know where to find an artist (not necessarily a musician, it could be a clown, a dance group), contact a holiday agency. Perhaps there you will be offered a more original idea.

What to give for a wedding original and inexpensive?

The present must be chosen with soul, because this is the first brick in the construction of a new family. Therefore, its material value is not the most important indicator, the main thing is your good feelings and the desire for happiness for the newlyweds. And for this, it is not necessary to give breakfast in Paris.

An original, but inexpensive wedding gift can be ... a horseshoe. Yes, a real horseshoe, made of any precious metal, and even better of blued steel (it was from this material that horseshoes were made in the old days). Put it in a beautiful box, accompanied by a greeting card.

If you can draw, buy a set of glasses and paint them, adding congratulations to each. The same can be done with cookware for CB ovens. There's plenty of room for creativity here!
Sketch pictures from family life that are associated with happy and important moments (pregnancy, childbirth, wedding anniversaries).
Accompany such a gift with cookery books containing recipes for cooking in microwave ovens.

An excellent option for an inexpensive gift for a wedding, but at the same time original, will be a certificate for a photo studio. And you can present the newlyweds with a photo book with their best pictures. Connect the relatives of the bride and groom. Start a photobook with their childhood and school photos, then post their adult and together photos. Sign each picture, find funny pictures on the Internet that match the general theme. Hang coins on the cover of the book as a symbol of a rich and happy family life.

Check out the following options for inexpensive wedding gifts:

- a set of bath towels. Can be presented in two colors, blue and pink (for the bride and groom);

- a set of bathrobes for the bride and groom. If you find, replace them with kimonos;

- barbecue sets, and to them a hammock, a badminton set, a volleyball, playing cards, a cooler bag. In general, everything you need for outdoor recreation;

- good quality air mattress. Don't be surprised by this idea, but an air mattress is a great thing to
put the guests to bed. Comment on your present from this point of view. Young people will definitely appreciate;

- breakfast table in bed You can also pick up fabric napkins, Turku and several types of fragrant
coffee;

- original congratulations. Record it on video, accompanied by music, and ask the presenter to turn it on
event;

- bouquet. Optional flowers. To make life sweet for the young, present a bouquet of sweets. It can be ordered in a specialized salon or made by yourself. Even an ordinary wicker basket or a beautiful gift box filled with sweets will do as such a present. Alternatively, a bag of chocolate money. They are easy to find on sale or order in a pastry shop.

Are you still thinking what to give an original wedding present? Do not hesitate - one of the proposed options will certainly be the most desired gift for the newlyweds. After all, the most important thing is your sincere desire to bring them joy. Believe me, even if you present only a subscription to their favorite magazine, but do it with a pure heart, the newlyweds will definitely remember your present. By the way, this is an idea, right?

Sincerely, Oksana Chistyakova.

A wedding is a significant and important holiday. Indeed, on this wonderful day, a family is born, and love is sealed by the bonds of an indestructible marriage.

On such a day, I want to surround myself with relatives and friends so that they share their joy with the young.

On the day of the wedding, it is customary to give gifts to show the newlyweds their support, love and respect.

Gifts can be different: useful, aesthetic, romantic, fun. The main thing is that the gift should contain a piece of the soul of the one who gives it. After all, a gift without a soul does not evoke strong positive emotions, memories of the giver and that wonderful day when the gift was given.

How to choose a memorable gift so that young people like it, turn out to be useful and evoke only pleasant emotions?

It is best for parents and close relatives to give the young something useful in the household. Close friends may choose a fun gift or a gift with a hint. Colleagues, on the other hand, may well get by with something beautiful and suitable for decorating the interior.

To begin with, here are some tips that will help you choose an original gift for young people:

1. Buy something useful. Something you would love if you were given it.
2. The price of the gift is not the main thing. You can give something inexpensive, but at the same time interesting and cool.
3. In no case do not give what was once given to you. This is not cultural and not right. If it doesn’t suit you, then it’s not a fact that others will.
4. It is best to give a unisex gift. That is, a gift that can be used by both the groom and the bride.
5. Don't forget to remove the price tag from the gift. Gifts that are covered by the guarantee are also best given without a receipt. You can keep the receipt with the guarantee in case the gift breaks. Just warn the bride and groom who to contact in this case.
6. You can get along with one of the guests. So you can buy a more valuable and necessary gift in the household.
7. Wrap your gift nicely and neatly. Bright packaging pleases the eye.

What gift to give to newlyweds from parents

Parents are most worried about the future of the young. What can be given to young people is especially exciting for them. It may be money that a young family needs so much, which is not yet very firmly on its feet.

Also, various things for the unborn child can be an excellent and original wedding gift. For example, strollers and cribs. Such gifts will look especially relevant if the bride is already in a position.

Household appliances will also come in handy. Washing machines, microwaves, multicookers, stoves, refrigerators will not be superfluous at all. After all, most likely in the near future a new family will settle down in their own apartment, only bought or rented.

For more affluent parents, there is a better option. An apartment or a car as a gift to young people. Also, vouchers sending newlyweds to spend their honeymoon somewhere on the warm sea, in a ski resort or in Paris will be accepted with great enthusiasm.

What close friends and witnesses can give a young couple

Close friends and witnesses know both heroes of the occasion very well. Even better than everyone else. So it shouldn't be a problem for them to choose the right gift. In extreme cases, you can consult with the bride or groom.

What do friends and girlfriends usually give for a wedding:

1. Something romantic. Bridesmaids may well present such a gift to lovers.
2. The groom's friends, on the contrary, prefer to give something funny and funny.
3. Interior items. Especially if the taste allows.
4. You can give household appliances to friends for a wedding. Always useful.
5. Personalized souvenirs. Chocolate, a bottle of drink or bed linen with a picture of the bride and groom.
6. You can find a craftsman who will carve small figures of newlyweds on wood. Such a gift can be a great decoration for a living room for a young family.
7. Various unusual gifts. The flight of fancy is unlimited.

What wedding gift to stop for close relatives

Close relatives, as well as parents, usually donate things needed in the household or children's things. In addition, furniture (bed, sofa, wardrobe), various electronics (TV, camera or camcorder, computer, laptop), kitchen utensils, beautiful curtains, etc. can be a great gift.

You can also donate money. Unoriginal, but always useful.

Or you can gather all the relatives and arrange an interesting and fun costumed congratulation-performance for the bride and groom.

What is better to give colleagues for a wedding

Colleagues also have a wide choice of gifts for the wedding. You can give sets of dishes or services. It is better, of course, to give a set of dishes that is really needed in the kitchen. So there will be a high probability that they will use it and remember the donor with a kind word.

Bed linen is always a necessary item in the household. An interesting solution would be to order personalized bedding with a photo of the young. In addition, you can donate blankets, blankets, pillows, various capes for furniture.

Small household appliances will be a wonderful gift. Toasters, coffee makers, blenders, food processors, mixers, kettles, irons, vacuum cleaners. All this can provide indispensable assistance in the household for a young housewife.

If a young family lives in a new apartment, various interior decorations may also come in handy: beautiful table lamps, carpets, paintings, figurines.

Original, funny and comic gifts for the wedding

If you are tired of giving monotonous gifts, you can come up with something original and imaginative.

Unusual gifts would be a great solution. Such as skydiving for a couple, a spa or gym membership, tickets to a concert of your favorite artist, a flight in a hot air balloon. You can give a photo session for a couple or purchase the services of an artist who would draw a portrait or a cartoon of the young.

You can also give something cool that will make the newlyweds and guests laugh. Such gifts may not cost so much, but they can greatly cheer you up. Best of all, they will look like a nice addition to a standard gift.

Various certificates and diplomas (the most ideal couple, the best couple, etc.), funny posters, medals and awards (the best bride, super-groom) can be used.

A paper money tablecloth or a trifle necklace as a symbol of material well-being look original and funny.

A horseshoe for good luck is also an interesting solution and a nice item for interior decoration.

Romantic gifts for the bride and groom

Still, do not forget that the wedding is a celebration of love and romance. So a romantic wedding gift would be quite appropriate.

Examples of romantic gifts:

1. A large photo frame with a photo of the newlyweds, decorated with hearts and congratulations. Or maybe a wedding photo album.
2. A breakfast table in bed will be fully appreciated. Especially the bride.
3. Beautiful music box with wonderful music.
4. Flowers made of thin and elegant crystal.
5. Mittens for lovers.
6. Lots of beautiful heart shaped balloons.
7. Small vessels. One for the bride and groom. In these vessels they will put pieces of paper with all the impressions of their life together, they will write down the most interesting and significant episodes from it so that they will never be forgotten.
8. Beautiful fireworks for lovers and guests. An unforgettable sight.

Gifts with a hint

Gifts can also be with a hint. Hints are different. There are hints of a child, or hints of another, more intimate nature.

With allusions to the unborn child, everything is clear. Baby items, bottles, baby car seat, soft toys.

With hints of a different kind, everything is much more interesting. Only a brave person who knows the future family very well can give such gifts. Who will not be offended, but everyone will understand correctly.

Erotic cubes, deluxe edition of Kama Sutra, scented candles, fur handcuffs. The scope for imagination is unlimited.

In addition to the gift itself, how it will be served is also important. Rehearse your speech in advance. You can recite a verse on the topic. Own composition or taken from somewhere. It doesn't matter.

The main thing is that he was with a soul. Or you can express your most sincere positive emotions towards the bride and groom with the help of a wish in prose.
And remember that the main thing is not a gift, but attention.

A wedding is a key, and sometimes a turning point, moment in the life of every couple in love. This is not an easy day - this is the birthday of a new family. Preparation for the celebration took a lot of time and required patience and material investments. Dresses and bouquets, choice of theme and venue, decoration of the car and selection of wedding accessories - everything is thought out to the smallest detail. And now there is fun and laughter ahead, funny congratulations and strict parting words, shouts: “Bitter!”, And unusual contests. “Oh, the wedding sang and walked ...”

Stop... Gifts! It is foolish to say that newlyweds do not expect presents. Of course, they welcome every guest. But gifts create a special atmosphere at the wedding. And they can spoil not only the mood, but the whole holiday. Therefore, we learn how to choose the right gifts for the newlyweds for the wedding.

Young people presented guests with personal handkerchiefs and towels.

They generously gave and parents. The mother-in-law with the father-in-law received boots and a short fur coat from the groom. And the father-in-law with the mother-in-law from the bride received a belt and a painted scarf.

Young people delighted each other with gifts. The groom received an embroidered shirt from his beloved. The girl, as a dowry, brought to the family bed linen, and tablecloths, and napkins, and towels, which she began to prepare for the wedding from an early age. The groom, in turn, provided wedding dresses for the bride and gave his beloved a carved chest filled with jewelry.

In a large metropolis, a gift of 1000 rubles will look ridiculous, but for a small town or village this is quite an acceptable amount.

What can you give for a wedding?

One of the most popular wedding gifts is money, but even that is not always a universal present. For example, it will be much more pleasant for a wealthy bride and groom to receive a symbolic spiritual gift than a few banknotes. In a different situation, of course, money will be one of the most desired gifts. They are suitable for covering wedding expenses, and for a honeymoon, and for arranging joint housing.

Recently, the Western tradition of compiling a list of desired gifts is gaining popularity. The young people make a list of things they would like to receive, and the invited guests, so to speak, book any wedding gift. Thus, young people do not receive 5 irons and 6 bedspreads per bed, and guests are sure that their gift will be necessary and one of a kind.

Practical wedding gifts

First of all, it is necessary to determine which category the newlyweds belong to:

1. A couple who will live with their parents. In a rented apartment. Or have been living together for a long time. In all cases, in the near future, young people will not need a new refrigerator or iron.
2. A couple who plans to move into a separate apartment. In this case, absolutely everything is required to the smallest detail.

Choosing a gift for the bride and groom for a wedding, you can also purchase items for arranging a summer residence: curtains for windows, bed linen, blankets, pillows, and more.

What to give wealthy newlyweds?

Situations often arise when the bride and groom are wealthy, wealthy people who do not need money or the usual household items. What do they give for a wedding in this case?

The first option is attention

The second option - emotions as a gift

If the bride and groom are wealthy people, there is no need to try to allocate an unbearable amount for a gift. It is better to choose a bright present that will give young people a lot of emotions, for example, a box with tropical butterflies or a song written especially for them.

What do friends usually give for a wedding?

Depending on the level of wealth, friends usually donate various interior items, useful household items and equipment, money or certificates for goods and services. Often the bride and groom receive more unusual gifts from friends:

A popular gift is a short film about the newlyweds in a playful or touching form, or a video message with wishes for a happy family life.

What do parents give their children for a wedding?

Of course, the most desired and expected gift for a wedding from parents is a house or apartment. Unfortunately, not all parents are able to give their children the keys to a brand new home, so other valuable gift options are also suitable:

Two tablets or laptops are also popular gifts from parents, so that there are no disputes in a young family when separating gadgets. Knowing what young people need, parents can donate the necessary large household appliances for the wedding: air conditioning, refrigerator, dishwasher, etc.

Previously, marriages concluded in the fall were considered the most durable. Now folk beliefs are a thing of the past, but autumn is still a traditional wedding season. Weddings are different, but all of them are united by the indispensable presence of the newlyweds - and the need to give them something. How to choose the best wedding gift?

To the question "What to give you for the wedding?" many couples, without hesitation, answer: "Money!". Often guests are satisfied with this - and there is no need to go shopping, think, invent. Of course, money is a universal gift that will help newlyweds and their parents to compensate for the cost of a wedding celebration, which is always useful. However, the catch lies in the universality of monetary gifts - money is impersonal, and one can hardly hope that after a few years, young spouses will remember your gift as something special. But there are cases when money is the only right decision:

If you breathed a sigh of relief and decided to donate cash, think again - often young people who have just married do not yet know how to manage the family budget. The money donated for the wedding evaporates in the first weeks after the marriage, and life remains unsettled. The couple you are going to the wedding to is not one of those, young and inexperienced?

Beautiful and useful wedding gifts

Commemorative coins made of precious metals issued by the Bank of Russia can become not only an interesting wedding gift, but also a kind of investment tool. For example, gold and silver coins from the "Signs of the Zodiac" series - having learned the dates of birth of the bride and groom in advance, you can give them the corresponding coins, with parting words, buy a coin for each of the future children. If you want to stand out, order a coin with an original design, such as inserts of precious stones or crystals, a hologram or a color coating.

A measured ingot made of precious metal may not look so impressive, but with all its appearance it embodies stability and reliability. Sberbank of Russia sells and buys gold bars weighing from 1 to 1000 grams and silver bars from 50 to 1000 grams.

Another "near-monetary" option for a wedding offering is a gift bank card. It is easy to purchase, even easier to use (newlyweds will be able to use it to pay for purchases or everyday expenses), and various denominations make such cards affordable for almost any wallet. In addition, some banks offer a special "gift" design.

Gifts for home, for everyday life

In Russia, wedding gifts symbolized wealth (furs, brocade, silk, feather beds and pillows, large bowls and goblets made of silver), as well as fertility and healthy offspring - for this purpose, they gave domestic animals (chickens, ducks, piglets), the number of which should have been be a multiple of 10. Each guest presented a small wicker basket with hard-boiled chicken eggs, symbolizing fertility in many cultures.

Of course, now they don’t go to a wedding with boiled eggs and pigs, but giving young people kitchen utensils, textiles, and interior items is still relevant today. After consulting with the parents of future spouses, you can always find out what exactly the young need. If this is not possible, a gift certificate from a good home appliances store or interior salon can become a lifesaver.

Of particular importance are paired sets - glasses, plates, figurines, jewelry - they personify the unity between spouses.

When purchasing a wedding gift, remember that giving some things is considered a bad omen. So before you go to the store, make sure that the bride and groom are not superstitious - or refrain from buying a gift that can be misinterpreted.

What household items should not be given for a wedding

• Knives, forks and spoons (bring quarrels and resentments into the house)
• Wrist and wall clock (to the soon parting of lovers)
• Mirrors (for early old age and disease)
• Scarves of all kinds (to frequent tears, betrayal and treason)

Commemorative signs, interesting gifts

There are gifts, giving which, you can be sure that they will be remembered by the newlyweds and will never be re-gifted, like the fifth vase:

• Thematic photo shoot - the newlyweds will be able to appear in professional photographs in new, unexpected images that they themselves will choose, and the makeup artist and hairdresser invited by you will ensure the perfect look of the newlyweds.
• Author's dolls - miniature copies of the bride and groom are sure to arouse admiration among the guests of the holiday. The only thing that is required of you is to transfer to the master photos of the couple, in which their faces and figures are clearly visible. By the way, dolls do not have to be in wedding dresses at all - although this option is chosen by most customers.
• Bed linen with photos of the bride and groom. It works on the same principle as dolls - any person loves to look at himself, his beloved, but not everyone dares to order such a set on their own. But this, of course, is a gift, possible only between very close friends.
• Family coat of arms. Usually it contains the monogram (the initial letters of the names) of the bride and groom, traditional heraldic elements. So, for example, in the coat of arms of the Sokolovs it is logical to imagine a falcon, which symbolizes inspiration and victory. The creation of a family coat of arms and a family tree (another interesting option for a memorable gift) is carried out by special companies where heraldry specialists work, so you do not have to study this difficult science.

Remember: Creating a memorable gift can take a lot of time - take care of it in advance!

Adventure as a gift

• Intimate - erotic board or card games, perfumes, funny underwear.
• Romantic - you can arrange a surprise for the newlyweds and give a walk together on a yacht, in a carriage, on horseback or in a limousine. The most fabulous gifts will also be a flight in a hot air balloon (just check if one of the newlyweds is afraid of heights), wine tasting or a romantic night in a luxury hotel.
• Cognitive - a joint visit to a training, master class or excursion. When choosing such a gift, you need to have a very good idea of ​​what exactly the newlyweds may be interested in - a culinary course, a ballroom dancing master class or training to increase sales efficiency.
• Toning - a SPA session for two, steam yoga, massage - any option is suitable that will allow the newlyweds to have a good time and relax after the wedding bustle.
• Extreme - joint diving or parachuting, paragliding, hang-gliding or helicopter flight, water skiing, zorb riding, paintball.
