Are you having a hard time deciding what to get the couple for their wedding? Don’t worry, we’re here to help you brainstorm for some fun and unique wedding gift ideas. Let’s jump right in!
1. Gift an Experience
Gift a couple an experience like a romantic restaurant night, tickets to their favorite band or a weekend getaway in the mountains. Are they an adventurous couple? Maybe buying them a voucher for a weekend at a National Park or a cave exploration experience is something they would enjoy . Are they movie buffs? Consider purchasing tickets to the cinema or a discount gift card. Similarly, a movie poster from their favorite movie or series is something they’d like to hang in their new home.
2. Personalized Art:
Are you an artist or do you have some sort of artistic talent? There’s something very meaningful and sweet about giving something you created yourself. Even if you’re not a painter, maybe you can sculpt something, use your woodworking skills to craft a fancy napkin holder or cutting board. Are you a musician? Maybe you can play a song at the wedding reception or record something at home and gift an audio recording of your original music. The point is to be creative and tap into your creative potential and strengths.
3. Home Decor:
One of the most practical gifts you can give a couple on their wedding day is a piece of home decor. Coffee tables, a beautiful lamp or a nice set of china tea dishes is something they would appreciate. It could also be a super cute idea to purchase personalized items like pillows, coffee mugs or door signs with the couple’s names inscribed on it.
4. Personalized Jewelry:
A piece of jewelry with the couple’s initials or wedding date could be a cute idea. It doesn’t have to be super expensive, just make sure that it is tasteful and something the couple will genuinely appreciate.
5. Spa Day
There’s nothing quite like spending a relaxing day at the spa with the love of your life. Consider gifting a couple’s spa day gift card, complete with massages and possibly even manicure or pedicure. Moreover, you’ll have a special place in the couple’s heart if this is the gift you choose.
6. Marry Your Friends
This one is probably the most unique of all the gifts you could offer to the couple but it’s a great one. You could offer to be the wedding officiant and perform the wedding! Obviously this is a gift that you would have to plan well in advance of the ceremony, but if you are close to the couple it’s one of the best things you could bring to their wedding day. These days it’s really easy to get ordained online and gain the necessary legal status to perform the ceremony and sign the marriage license. Websites like American Marriage Ministries and Universal Life Church offer this service free of charge and signing up only takes a couple of minutes to complete. If you are good at public speaking and can see yourself taking on this role, it’s definitely a wedding gift you should consider.
Hopefully now you have found at least one or two unique wedding gift ideas!
