Best Wedding Gift Ideas

However, the custom of giving gifts at a wedding is considered universal, as family and friends gather around to give their well wishes of love and happiness to the newly weds.

Unfortunately, when it comes to choosing a gift, finding the perfect wedding gift can prove to be a tedious task for most people. For that reason, in the section below, I have made up a list of ideas about the best wedding gifts based on the type of gift you are looking for. 

One important point to keep in mind, is it doesn’t matter what kind of gift you choose or how much you spend, it is the thought and effort that you put into selecting a gift that is important.

NUMBER ONE MOST WANTED GIFT
Talk to any wedding planning expert and they will tell you that asking for money as a gift is in bad taste according to wedding etiquette guidelines. Nevertheless, it is the number one most recommended gift according to a recent poll by Tie The Knot. While it may seem impersonal or tacky to a lot of guests, giving money as a gift is becoming a growing trend.

When you think about it, many couples today are getting married later in life and most are already living together before they get married. A lot of these couples feel that they already have most of everything they need for the home so giving money they can use towards their wedding or honeymoon is a simple alternative to giving them a gift they may not need.

If you don’t like the idea of just giving money, then you might like to combine the two: you could buy a small gift, like a beautiful photo frame, and then put the money inside. The other way to give money is with a gift card, this would be especially handy if the registry store that the couple have chosen has this option. You could then place it inside a wedding card. You could then either give it to the couple on the day or mail it to their home.

If you find yourself at a loss when it comes to finding the perfect wedding gift, then you’re not alone.

There are so many questions you have to consider before you even begin to search.  Questions such as:
Do you purchase from the registry? 
Do you give for something personal? 
Do you give for something useful? 
Do you go for something conventional that you just know the couple will never use?
Do you go for something unique and different and risk it not being to their taste? 

So many choices, so overwhelming.  I know what you’re going through, I’ve been through it many times before. For me, it didn’t matter whether I was close to the couple or just a casual friend, I always find choosing the right wedding gift such a difficult task and often leave it to the last minute before I make a decision on what to buy.

I thought I would get some ideas together and share them with you on what I feel are some of the best wedding gifts ideas ever, no matter what your budget is or what your relationship status to the bridal couple.
