Wedding gifts for couple
It’s always exciting to receive a wedding invitation: the chance to witness the loved shared between people you care for, and an opportunity to spend the whole day celebrating too. The RSVP might be an easy yes, but finding a wedding gift for the happy couple is sometimes more challenging. At Create Gift Love we have plenty of thoughtful personalised wedding gift ideas for couples to get you inspired, plus expert advice on choosing the best wedding gifts.
Best wedding gifts for the day
Lots of popular wedding gifts, like luggage or homeware, are a logistical challenge to transport to and from the wedding venue, and modern etiquette dictates that gifts from the wedding registry should be sent directly to the couples’ home ahead of time, rather than burdening the newlyweds with cumbersome packages on the day. These days, guests tend to bring cards and cheques to the wedding itself and leave registry gifts for another day, but if you still want to bring something tangible to the venue, a wedding gift that’s small, easy to handle and can be left with the cards is your best shout. We’d recommend something like our personalised couples’ bookmark set or engraved wooden telegram, both of which are provided with a gift envelope and won’t take up too much space on the gift table.
And if you’re looking for wedding gifts designed to be used on the day itself, our personalised men’s suit accessories are a great place to start. The engraved cufflinks and personalised collar stiffeners make a lovely, thoughtful gesture for male members of the wedding party to wear on the day – just make sure you arrange for them to be delivered ahead of the ceremony!
Wedding gifts for couples who have everything
Traditionally, wedding gifts would be given to help newlyweds set up their first home together, with common wedding gifts including crockery, small appliances and home furnishings. And while this is still the case for some, these days, it’s much more common for couples to already share a home (and all the necessary belongings that go with it!). So, if you’re wedding gift shopping for a couple who already has everything they need and you don’t want to gift them money, a small personalised keepsake gift is a great option. If they don’t need traditional homeware, choose something personal for their home instead, like our personalised keyring sets or decorative photo displays.
Matching personalised bride and groom gifts
A set of matching gifts for the bride and groom is always a popular choice: think “his and hers” style robes or pyjamas, for example. It’s the best of both worlds, as the bride and groom get to keep a gift each. If you want to go down this route but prefer to avoid the “Mr and Mrs” cliches, our personalised couples gifts are thoughtful, tasteful and customisable. Our personalised couples coaster sets, engraved with their wedding date, is a lovely wedding gift idea for the home, and our matching leather luggage tags are perfect for taking on the honeymoon.
What should the bride give to the groom?
As well as exchanging vows and rings, it’s also traditional for the bride and groom to exchange gifts with each other on the wedding day. Typically, gifts from the bride to the groom (and vice versa) are chosen for their sentimental value. They will act as a keepsake and reminder of the couples’ wedding day for years to come, symbolising their love and commitment.
Many brides choose gifts for their husband-to-be that can be worn or used on the wedding day; think suit accessories like cufflinks, belts, or watches. You could send this kind of gift to the groom as a surprise on the wedding morning, which would be a lovely way to connect before you see each other for the first time on the big day. You can make these precious gifts even more thoughtful by adding personalised elements, like the engraved initials and dates we offer on our personalised men’s cufflinks.
