Wedding Present Ideas
Submitted by: Trevor Richards
It’s always flattering to be invited to a dear friends wedding. These sorts of occasions are celebrations of love for friends and family which are not only very expensive for the couple getting married, but also for those in attendance. Not only will they have to make sure that they are suitably attired for the event, but they will also feel obliged to bring a gift for the happy couple. With the average cost of a wedding present estimated as costing around 70 it’s easy to see how it can be difficult for guests on a budget to find a suitable gift. If you are looking to buy a present but are conscious of overspending then here are a few gift ideas.
It may be a nice idea to turn what is usually an everyday object into a unique piece of art by using them to create an inexpensive handmade arts and craft project. Perhaps you could buy an old fashioned box or trunk, give it a new coat of paint in a pleasing colour and then decorate it in rhinestones or other colours which will complement the wedding. A nice touch could be to stencil the date of the wedding or the couple’s initials on it. If you go to your local arts and crafts shop there will plenty of items on sale that you can decorate the box with. The couple could use your thoughtful gift as a place to keep cherished items, old love letters and photographs. An alternative idea also on an arts theme would be to buy a gift certificate where the couple could enjoy a day of pottery making or painting.
Alternatively you might wish to buy your friends a unique ornament to place in their new home. There are all sorts of shops online that will sell unique pottery or designer glassware items. These types of gifts will certainly stand out from all the plates and cutlery that everyone else will have bought!
Another nice idea for an inexpensive wedding present would be to buy an item such as a picture frame and have it engraved. There will be plenty of jewellers and specialist retailers who will offer a custom engraving service for a wide variety of different objects from photo storage boxes to clocks. You may decide to get a wedding day wish inscribe on your gift, or you could choose a line from a poem or perhaps simply you might like to get the couple’s initials inscribed on your gift.
Instead of purchasing a wedding present, if you have a specialist skill or talent you may wish to lend your services to the wedding. This would be especially useful if you are a good photographer, or perhaps you are sufficiently musically talented enough to provide entertainment at the reception, or perhaps as background music to the meal.
Whatever you choose to do, don’t get too stressed over buying a wedding present as if you have been invited then your attendance at the wedding is the most important thing of all.
