Choosing the Perfect Wedding Gift

Wedding Gifts:-
What’s the day that marks the realization of childhood dreams, girlhood fantasies and boyhood desires? Does it ring a bell, why of course it does! It is indeed the chime of wedding bells ringing out loud.

Wedding – the ultimate culmination of a man woman relationship calls for loads of celebration. You simply can’t do without a lavish spread that’s fit for kings, a swarming bevy of beaming guests, delicate carnations and baby’s breath dressing up the place, the resplendent bride in all her wedding finery, and an impatient groom waiting for the formalities to end.

Are we leaving out something? Yes, indeed we are. How can a wedding ever be complete without gifts. Wedding gifts demand to be special. Especially if you’re somebody really close to the bride or groom.

Gifts from Parents:-
A magnificent gift for parents to give could be a new house for the newly-weds to initiate their new life together. If buying a house proves to be steep, especially with all the other mounting wedding expenses, you could gift some basic furniture pieces that they’ll require. The bed, living room chairs and table, a mirrored dresser and dining room basics would be optimum to begin with. You could throw in few fundamental appliances like a refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine or food processor as well. These would eventually prove to be very pragmatic gifts for the newly weds. A cash gift would always come handy for the couple especially with so many new essentials they would eventually have to cater to.

Your daughter’s wedding gown could be a lovely present you could give her. This is one dress she’s been waiting all her girlhood years to wear. You could even add a few pieces of jewelry to complete the radiant look of your little princess. A pristine pearl choker would set off her white low neckline wedding dress wonderfully. With a dash of diamond accents, its effect would be simply breathtaking. Earrings to match, in pearl and diamonds would light up her face especially with the diamond wickedly winking at her twinkling eyes. A bracelet of the same make would add the final touch, gently clasping her arm as if in reassurance. You would after all, want your angel to look the epitome of loveliness and elegance on the most special day of her life.

Gifts from Siblings:-
She’s the one you spent all your growing years with. You’ve shared toys, rooms, beds, clothes, secrets, quarrels…. the list is endless. Now, on the most important day of her life, all you want to do is share her happiness. Nothing seems more important than to make this occasion picture perfect, so the gift too will have to measure up to it.

How about a holiday package to some place really romantic - snow flaked peaks, lashing wild shores or tranquil rippling waters. Make it as perfect as can be, from travel to hotel reservation, assured pick-up, local tour guide (provided they wish to venture out), to the selection of wine, fruit and chocolate in the room. Make the experience wholesome, something they will both cherish for a lifetime.

A basket of personalized goodies would also make a lovely gift, with the name of the bride and groom embossed or printed on each article. A silver rimmed photo frame with both names embossed in silver would be ideal for their favorite wedding snapshot. Towels and bathrobes bearing their names would be as delightful as bed linen on the same lines. You could also throw in personalized coasters, napkin holders and table mats.

If you want to gift her something really extraordinary, the only thing that will fit the bill would be a piece of jewelry. If you want it to be simple and elegant, just like her, then round diamond solitaires would be ideal. If she likes to dress up, then go for diamond hoops or danglers in white gold. You could even choose the hoops or danglers in colored gemstones like sapphire to match the color of her eyes, (something you always envied her for), citrine to complement her golden mane, ruby to accentuate her full rosy lips. If she’s fond of pendants so be it, in these colored gemstones. Despite all the fine wedding gifts she receives the one she’ll cherish the most would be what you give her, so why not make it something really special.

Gifts from Friends:-
You’ve been her confidant and friend for years now. No matter what, you both have been inseparable and now that she’s about to embark on a new chapter of her life, won’t you want her to take a piece of your shared childhoods along. Remember how the two of you would longingly stare at shop windows flaunting beautiful clothes and glittering jewelry waiting for the day when it would all be yours. Do you also remember the tiny heart shaped pendant she had lost her own heart to? Well, why not gift a similar heart pendant that will forever remain reminiscent of your childhood years. You’ve always known her passion for pink so why not get a heart shaped sapphire pendant in the same color. It’ll look ravishing with her pink crepe dress you both shopped for last summer. A pair of matching heart shaped studs of the same make would look fascinating and complete. Just like the friendship the two of you share.

Is that somebody calling? Oh yes, its time for the photographs. Who ever said the gifts were only for the bride and groom. This picture perfect day apart from being embossed in your memory forever, will also remain captured in this lovely picture just clicked. What a lovely present indeed, so smile a forever smile and join in the unadulterated bliss of this beaming newly wed couple.
