Wedding gifts are traditionally given to newlyweds by everyone who receives an invitation to a marriage ceremony. Of course, each guest wants his present to make a lasting impression on the bride and groom, aroused in them pleasant emotions, so important on this day. Original gift ideas collected in this article will help you make the right choice and spend a minimum of time.
Wedding gifts for newlyweds: money
For far from the first decade, people have been giving cash to friends and relatives who are getting married. This solution is convenient because newlyweds have the opportunity to independently choose the perfect gift for themselves. The one who believes that such a present is not capable of being original and memorable is mistaken.
A gift from money can, for example, take the form of a bouquet that is easy to create with your own hands. It is necessary to roll up bills into a tube, then bandage them with a celebratory ribbon at the base. An additional decoration of the “bouquet” can be a living or artificial flower located in the center. If those who want a surprise have a great sense of humor, you can glue the bills together, creating a roll of “toilet paper”.
A gift of money can also be presented in the form of origami. It is enough to fix a few simple figures from notes on a sheet of paper using double-sided tape. Rhinestones and sequins with which you can decorate the background will give a festive look to the present. Those who are new to the art of origami can limit themselves to banal airplanes. People who are afraid of damaging banknotes are free to use photocopies when creating figures, attaching an envelope with real money to this gift.
Frivolous gifts
Who said wedding gifts to newlyweds must be practical? It is easy to surprise the bride and groom by giving them a gift of a piece of land located on Mars. Surprisingly, the sale of such sites has been going on since 1980, and the cost of 40 acres does not go beyond three to five thousand rubles. Those who think that Mars is too far away can stop on the moon. The certificate of ownership is traditionally accompanied by a surface map of the selected planet. An alternative solution is a star purchase certificate.
You may prefer other cool gifts to the newlyweds, creating a romantic mood. Say, now it’s fashionable to give tropical butterflies to the bride and groom. Unfortunately, this option is available only to those who plan to spend a large amount of money on surprise.
If people getting married have a sense of humor, you can stop at the gift copy of the Kama Sutra.
Extreme gifts
The opportunity to go on an adventure is an excellent gift for the bride and groom. It is possible that the newly made husband and wife will be happy to spend their honeymoon participating in rafting on kayaks. Perhaps they have long dreamed of taking a parachute jump or going on a safari with lions. Finally, the couple can be delighted with the opportunity to fly in a real balloon, feeling like the heroes of a love story. Of course, such presents should first be discussed with those to whom they are intended.
For newlyweds who love adventure, but are not ready to embark on a dangerous adventure, you can choose a gift that is not related to extreme sports. Say, you can pay for newlyweds diving or go-karting, swimming with dolphins, riding lessons or shooting. Finally, the donor is free to pay a visit to a new-made cell in a fascinating excursion, a river cruise.
Nice memories
The original wedding must certainly be captured in photos and videos so that the newlyweds can live again and again one of the most exciting days in life. It is not surprising that the wedding clip is a gift that has remained relevant for many years. A specially invited operator not only skillfully mounts the video, choosing the most successful moments of the celebration, but also selects the musical accompaniment.
Choosing unusual wedding gifts for the newlyweds, you can stay on the photo book. For example, it can be a book of fairy tales, the main characters of which will be the bride and groom. To create such a presentation you only need to provide photos of people getting married.
Finally, these days everyone can rent a photo booth. Why not install this device where the celebration is planned - to the delight of the newlyweds and their guests?
Video greetings
Video greetings can act as an independent gift or be attached to the main present. The video, the main characters of which will be relatives and close friends, will certainly be given an honorable place in the family archive. It is advisable that the congratulations uttered by the "actors" be fun and original.
An alternative to video greetings is the dance of friends and relatives captured on camera. Of course, to prepare such a surprise, you will have to devote some time to rehearsals.
We arrange the show
The original wedding will be remembered by the newly made husband and wife for life, if at the end of the celebration a grandiose salute is launched. Guests of the ceremony can pay for the luxurious fireworks in honor of the newlyweds, which will be arranged at the end of the holiday.
A wonderful surprise for the bride and groom will be a laser show, which can also be organized at the end of the celebration. These days, such a representation can take many forms. For example, a volumetric show involves the movement of laser beams in space, a constant change in their color. Of course, all this is accompanied by energetic music that customers can choose. You can stay on the laser graphics, arranging a surprise in the form of portraits of the bride and groom, floating in the air.
Of course, the options described above (fireworks, laser show) are suitable only for those guests who plan to give vip gifts to the newlyweds by laying out a round sum of money.
Home Gifts
Can a present turn out to be not only original, but also practical? For example, what should be a gift for newlyweds from parents who, for one reason or another, do not want to give money? A wonderful idea is to pay for the services of a designer who will help newly-married spouses to arrange a family nest. You can also prefer a certificate that allows the husband and wife to independently choose a gift in a furniture center with a wide range of products.
Those who have an idea about the tastes of the newlyweds can decide to purchase an interior item. For example, to make happy the newlyweds with a bean bag designed for two or with trays designed for breakfast in bed. However, it is better to stay on a painting or a vase than, say, on a sofa, for which there may simply not be a place in the apartment.
Vehicle
Another original option is a surprise in the form of a vehicle. Not only relatives and friends who want to present vip-gifts to the bride and groom, suggesting serious costs, can pay attention to this idea.
It is likely that the guy and girl who are getting married will be happy to receive a gift of a pair of inexpensive bicycles with which they can compete with each other. They can also come in handy with roller skates, skateboards and other devices that guarantee a fun time together.
Pets
Choosing wedding gifts for the newlyweds, you can stay on a person’s friends. Perhaps the bride and groom would like to have another member of the family, but are not yet ready for the birth of a child. Of course, such a surprise must certainly be consistent with those for whom it is intended. In addition, when planning to give a cat or a dog, it is worth checking with future owners what breed they prefer.
It is not at all necessary to consider exclusively traditional options. Not only a cat or a dog can live in a newlywed house. It is likely that the newlyweds are among the connoisseurs of exotic. In this case, they may like an elegant aquarium with colorful parrot fish or a creepy-looking piranha. The main thing is not to go to extremes, preferring, say, a live lion cub.
Innovative devices
What should be a gift from friends who want to meet new spouses more often? A wonderful idea is a robot vacuum cleaner, after which newlyweds will be able to devote a minimum of time to cleaning. This device independently eliminates dust and wool, copes even with small debris. From the owners only need to turn it on, after which you can safely go about their business and even leave the house.
Many newlyweds prefer to spend the first months after the wedding in the apartment, reluctantly getting out of a cozy nest. Consequently, original slippers with a USB opening will be useful for them. By connecting such products to a laptop, you can enjoy the heat coming from inside.
In addition, a waterproof FM radio designed for the shower can come in handy to the bride and groom. Such a device has a control panel, with which you can optionally arrange in your own bathroom a colorful illumination show, controlling light overflows.
What not to give
When choosing wedding gifts for the newlyweds, people invited to the ceremony should remember a number of important rules. You should not present a present to future spouses, which is of interest only to one of them. For example, buying a makeup or tool kit will be a bad decision. This is worth remembering even to those guests who, say, are only familiar with the groom and do not know his beloved at all (and vice versa).
There are things to give which categorically do not order popular folk signs. It is not recommended to choose sets of knives, mirrors, watches, handkerchiefs - newlyweds, who are serious about signs, may consider such gifts as a bad omen. Also, one should not make a choice in favor of presentations, which theoretically other guests who have received an invitation to a celebration can also stop at. Say the bride and groom are unlikely to be impressed by the fifth deep fryer or third juicer.
Finally, it is worthwhile to choose things with caution that may not fit in size corny. Suppose even the most beautiful set of bedding is a bad gift if you do not take into account the dimensions of the bed of the bride and groom.
