Wedding gifts are a wonderful way to show your appreciation and care for the newly married couple. However, it’s hard to feel passionate about another blender or toaster. Shopping for the latest kitchen gadget or home décor item may be easy, but it’s not very exclusive and says you barely gave the couple a thought. However, if you buy a unique wedding gift that stands out from the rest, the thoughtful gift will always be remembered by the couple.
Below are some easy ideas you can get for unique wedding gifts.
Unique wedding gifts for the couple
All of these gifts can be shared by both the bride and groom and most of them create very fond memories of the wedding day. These unique wedding gifts are something that will hopefully see you through some of the most difficult times of your marriage.
Photo Quilts – These have become very popular gift items and can be found almost anywhere online and also locally if you do a little search. These items are so much fun as you can imagine the newlywed couple snuggling together on the couch under a blanket with their own photos. What a great way to truly celebrate the couple. You simply need between 1 and 45 good quality photos that can be printed or digitally. You can send them to the company and in just a few days you will have a beautiful quilt. A fun way to do this is to take pictures of the bride and groom and their respective families. Then use the pictures to show the coming together of two families.
Another fun idea that a photo quilt can be used for is as a guest book. Yes, that’s right, a guest book. Just hang the quilt where guests will enter before the ceremony, and provide some permanent Sharpie markers. Have everyone leave a unique and personalized message.
Personalize Photo Pillow – Can’t see it now as a wonderful photo pillow on the newlywed couple’s bed? You send your favorite photo of the bride and groom and it becomes a unique personalized wedding gift pillow. How’s that for personalized!
Family Portrait Plates – Everyone has probably seen those cartoonists doing caricatures of people at a local street fair or some other big gathering. Well, a family photo plate takes this idea and turns it into a very unique wedding gift. You can choose skin color, hair color, and basic body types to represent each person in the family. These are wonderfully unique gifts that everyone is sure to enjoy.
Personalized Wedding Cake Toppers – You want to go all out and give a unique wedding gift. Try a custom wedding cake topper. You submit photos of the couple, including pictures of their clothing and/or activities they like to do, and a sculptor will make a custom wedding cake topper based on her feedback. Just be sure to work this out with the wedding planner and the bride before spending any money. They are usually made in polymer clay and will last forever.
These are just a few of the many great ideas for unique wedding gifts. It is very popular and thoughtful to give something that has been personalized and this is something to consider as you search for your unique gift. Adding personalization shows that you’ve taken the time to think about the newlyweds and their likes and dislikes and not just getting a mass-produced gift from the store.
Whichever unique wedding gift you choose, it’s an important key to plan ahead. You don’t want to try any of the above ideas the day before the wedding. Making a personalized gift can take some time and you will want to allow two or more weeks to do it. So plan ahead, be creative, and have fun with your wedding gift and you’re sure to end up with something they’ll remember and cherish forever. Much better than another toaster that will be returned.
