How To Choose Newlywed Romantic Gifts To Brides And Grooms

By Christopher Richardson


Weddings are a great way to celebrate the union between to people who decide to love and cherish each other for the rest of their live. Also, they are starting a new life together which can be a tad bit difficult. The gifts that given to them symbolize a communal agreement of friends and family that they want to help their union to be a success.

This article will focus on what the newly weds are meant to receive. Newlywed romantic gifts may not be hard to come by, but thinking of a good one can definitely be the challenge. While there is an endless list of what you can give them on their special day, there is not much said about what you should not.

Many people attending these events may already have a template of what they want to give. The downside is that there is a large possibility that they are not aware of what they should avoid giving. The point of giving a present is not only to convey how thoughtful and generous a person is, but in this case, how much they care about the newlyweds success in their marriage.

They already have a lot to spend on the event and since they are tying the knot, they probably are planning to have kids. There would be no need for more cute creatures in one household nor do they need the financial obligation. If the couple already has pets, then it would be better to have a well designed basket of treats and toys that their current pets want.

Monogrammed objects are not as practical as you may like to think, romantic maybe. Only get this if the bride and groom personally asked you to. If you are not the closest to them, it may be best to leave the embroidered towels and items alone, lest you want to risk putting in the wrong letters or names.

Self help books as gifts may be counter productive. No matter how well meaning you are, this may just be seen as a rude gesture. It would be like blatantly telling the couple that they may be inadequate to, one be a couple or two, raise kids. This mishap can blow to epic proportions especially when you are attending one that you did not know was a shotgun wedding.

Furniture and home decor, as practical as they are may not be a good choice either. Sorry to break it to you, but to pick the right piece of furniture a good amount of thinking and consideration needs to be done. The decision making should be done by newly married couple since they are the ones that would know best what they need. But if they state exactly what they want in the registry then why not.

Do not even consider re gifting. If you are not currently able to give the bride and groom anything best just offer them your best wishes. Excursions during their honeymoon should only be given when they specifically ask for it, otherwise, they may just seem to find the whole activity tiring. They are also likely to have somethings planned out already anyway.

While it is a big issue for those who just got married to ask for cash, that may be exactly what they need. The point of wedding gifts is to help them get started with a life together. If what you give them is not particularly useful then it would just take up space. As a friend and attendee, you may not be able to give them what is stated in their registry so go with a gift card or cash.
