Wedding Gift Ideas

We are now officially in the midst of wedding season. Almost everyone knows someone who is getting married this summer or fall. After all, summertime brings warm weather making this time of year very popular for weddings. Between engagement parties, bridal showers and the actual wedding day, it can sometimes be difficult to come up with memorable gift ideas. Below are some traditional gift ideas to commemorate the wedding day of the bride and groom.

An important part of a wedding is the exchanging of the wedding rings.  To make the ‘I dos’ official, the bride and groom exchange wedding rings in front of their bridesmaids, groomsmen, family and friends. A ring holder is a special way to present the rings to the couple. Whether a ring bearer carries the rings down the aisle on a classic white pillow or a more modern silver plated heart shaped tray, the ring holder is a personal touch to the couple’s wedding day. The ring holder can also be used after the wedding ceremony as an everyday ring holder for the bride.

What would a wedding reception be without the champagne toast? A pair of crystal champagne flutes is perfect for either an engagement celebration or wedding toast. Whether a simple glass flute or one decorated with bows, heart shaped charms or inscribed with ‘bride’ and ‘groom’, champagne flutes are a gift that can be used to celebrate the couple’s wedding day and all of their anniversaries to follow.  Cheers to the bride and the groom!

After the toasting the new couple into married life, it is time for the traditional cutting of the cake. Whether choosing a modern cake or a classic white design, every bride and groom wants something on the wedding cake to represent their union. A cake topper is a keepsake from the cake that will last for years. Cake toppers come in a variety of designs including a bride and groom dancing their first dance as a married couple, intertwining heart symbolizing the couples love or a pair of love birds.

Throughout the wedding and reception, pictures are constantly being taken. Every new married couple wants to capture the joy of their wedding day. Between professional pictures and candid pictures from the wedding guests, there are always plenty of pictures from the special day. A great alternative to picture frame is the double invitation frame. On one side, the newlyweds can place a picture of their choice. On the opposite side is a spot for their wedding invitation. Whether a simple white frame or one adorned with hearts and decorative designs, the double invitation frame is a wonderful keepsake from the bride and groom to commemorate their wedding date.
