Often we all have to find ourselves in a situation where we seem to have to rejoice at the invitation to the wedding, and at the same time, the mood is immediately overshadowed by the question that has arisen, what to give the young people on such a joyful day.
The simplest, but not always correct, solution is to donate money. Often, young people expect that the donated money will compensate for a chic feast, and they roll up a feast with a mountain. Or they think to buy very good and necessary things with this money, but all this remains in dreams, but the money usually quickly “evaporates” and only memories of the holiday remain in the form of photographs and video footage.
And sometimes, for many years, a simple gift made by some relatives settles in a newly-made family, which becomes the wedding talisman of the family, although at first glance it is absolutely not valuable. And sometimes this talisman saves a young family in difficult times. So money is far from the best gift for a wedding.
If you are close to the families of the newlyweds, then you can simply ask their loved ones and buy something that will be pleasant for the young and will be useful to them in life. But one cannot count on this much, since the views of the young and their older relatives sometimes radically diverge.
In the West, a tradition has developed when young people make a list of desired gifts in advance and pass them on to those invited. From this list, guests choose what they can purchase and note that there is no duplication.
Such a tradition will not come to us soon, therefore, when choosing gifts, we must proceed from our customs.
For the optimal choice of a gift, it is necessary to analyze the future family. All young families can be divided into several groups:
- families who will live together with their parents, which means they will not immediately need large things such as a refrigerator, a washing machine, they can do without personal pots and other utensils;
- families who are going to live separately in a rented or their own living space, bedding, dishes, and all sorts of other household trifles will come in handy here;
Families who already have their own housing and who are just starting life together have to acquire everything from scratch, so sometimes a certain amount of money will be a good gift if the young are serious and thoughtful, as well as any household appliances, beautiful kitchen utensils, bedding sets and many other household trifles necessary for arranging your own cozy nest;
Families who have already lived together for a certain period have family experience behind them and have managed to acquire something for their everyday life, so here you need to choose a gift taking into account their lifestyle, and the gift should be practical and in demand, for example, a beautiful woolen blanket for the cold season or an expensive silk bedding set;
Families that have everything. The most difficult option for selecting gifts, but this is not a problem. You can give them something unusual. For example, a photo shoot with an expensive photographer or a hot air balloon flight.
For each of these groups, you can choose your own category of gifts.
If you could not stop at any of the gift options, then you can resort to buying such an original wedding gift as a “gift certificate”. Depending on what the newlyweds have, you can choose a store for their interests: for those who are fond of sports or tourism - a sports equipment store, for those who equip housing - a building materials store, for some, a household appliances store is suitable so that young people can choose the right purchase for their taste.
If you decide to donate money, then take care of the proper design so that your gift becomes memorable and leaves good memories for the couple.
The most common and desired gifts at the wedding:
- Refrigerator, washing machine, microwave, toaster, food processor, coffee maker (if the gift is expensive, you can team up with friends);
— Crockery — an expensive set of pots, tea and coffee sets, a set of quality baking dishes, beautiful dinnerware, silverware.
– Textiles – bedding sets made of high-quality material, blankets and pillows with original filler, llama wool blanket.
- A camera, a video camera will also be accepted with joy.
The main thing is that the gift was made from the heart.
