For most of us, summer means weddings. It seems like every
other weekend we have a wedding to go to, and there’s no doubt these events
contribute hugely to why summer is such a wonderful season. After all, what’s
better than being able to see two of your favorite people proclaim their love
for one another?
While wedding season is undoubtedly a wonderful time of
year, it does bring with it a few problems. There’s the concerns over what you
will wear and how you’ll plan your travel, but by
far the biggest worry is what to give as a gift.
Choosing a wedding gift is always a tricky task. It is often
made easier by the presence of a registry, but many couples choose to forgo
these. If there’s no registry, you’re in the dark— and there’s a number of
reasons choosing a gift without a hint from the happy couple can be troubling:
●
You only know one person in the couple well, and can’t
be sure what their new spouse would consider to be a nice gift.
●
The couple is already living together, and thus
traditional “setting up home” gifts don’t seem to be applicable.
●
You have a number of weddings to go to and are
concerned about the cost.
●
You have a number of weddings to go to and want to
ensure you find a unique gift for
each event.
With any of the issues above swirling through your mind,
finding the right gift can be a chore in and of itself— but don’t worry, help
is at hand. Below are five types of gift that should be suitable for any
couple; why not give one of these a try if you’re in need of wedding gift
inspiration this summer?
Wedding-themed gifts
If you’re not sure what to buy, wedding-themed gifts are the
perfect choice. These gifts are ideal if you don’t know both of the couple well
or are struggling for ideas in general. There’s also hundreds of gifts that
fall into this category, so you should be able to find something suitable for
the couple you are buying and for
your budget. You could choose a stunning photo frame so they can display their
best wedding photographs, or visit GiftedHomeDecor.com and pick up a pair
of their fantastic bride and groom themed glasses. Whatever you choose,
focusing on the wedding as the theme of your gift is always a great choice.
Experience gifts
If you’re not sure what to buy in terms of a physical gift,
why not gift an experience instead? For example, you could buy the couple
tickets to an attraction at their honeymoon destination, or a pass for a
couples’ spa weekend so they can be pampered as they adjust to married life.
Classic gifts
Finally, if all else fails, opt for one of the wedding
“classics”. Many guests eschew these gifts, but if you are otherwise
struggling, defaulting to the essentials is never a bad idea. Kitchen
appliances are usually your best bet in this regard; try this list of the most
popular kitchen appliance wedding gifts on Learn.CompactAppliance.com if you’re in
need of inspiration.
In conclusion
Choosing wedding gifts for a couple who have chosen to go
without a registry is tough, but it can be
done. Hopefully the options above have given you a few ideas— now all that’s
left to do is enjoy every moment of wedding season!
