Can anyone think of a wedding present for a young couple that they might actually want?

Question

They are in their early twenties. What did you guys get for your weddings that you really appreciated?

Answer 1

I have found a great gift for newlyweds.. I get them a pair of lawn chairs, nice ones, and a picnic basket full of goodies...... when they come back from a hectic wedding, and honeymoon... and then going back to work... its already for them to enjoy. even if they live in an apartment, with a balcony, or have a new home, its nice to be able to enjoy just sitting and relaxing outdoors... and the goodie basket makes it even more enjoyable........

Answer 2

How about a reproduction oil painting..or an original by an aspiring young artist. There are many fantastic companies that have websites who produce handpainted reproductions of famous works of art and at affordable prices. Eg. Chagall's Wedding Candles or a painting that comes close to representing the couple's personalities or their likes/interests. You could also look out for your local art school's up coming art exhibitions for something.
A painting, whether original or reproduction, is a gift that will last a lifetime. Something unique that will bring back happy memories of the wedding day...unlike something like a toaster or plate (that might break down or break). I recently gave my friends a painting and they absolutely love it. It's a feature in their home and no matter where they end up living in the future it will always be hung on the wall..not relegated to a closet or packed away in a box never to be used..or worse still, re-gifted! Hope this has helped you!

I think a gift certificate for a spa day or anything romantic for two, depends on how much you want to spend, but this is something they can use after the honeymoon, most certificates are good for a year, another suggestion is maybe something personal, such as a gift basket that you make yourself with all practical and useful things inside, it doesn't have to be expensive, I mean you could even include a nice poem that is framed that you wrote or even found off the internet about love. Personal touches are always the best!

Answer 4

Blankets,quilts, anything of that sort. I know alot of people, young and old that really enjoy a hand crafted blanket. I've been to 4 weddings this year and that's what I've given at each one. Every blanket was different in style, fabric, and pattern. In the corner of each blanket, I embroider thier names and the date of the wedding. In an opposite corner, I put my initials. Any more gifts that have some thought put into them are cherished more than some crystal frame you pick up at penney's.

Answer 5

You can get something off the registry or go with what I'd doing for a niece thatis getting married, this is a poem that goes with a basket or bag of candles.

"A basket full of candles that come in a pair
In all different colors, for the two you to share.
The white ones burn first
They are wrapped in white lace
To celebrate your first married night
In your new chosen place.
The green pair is longer,
Burn with the first company you have over for dinner.
The peach candles are for after your first fight
Use them to burn while making up all night.
Mulberry candles set the mood and pave the way
For your first married Valentine’s Day.
Now, when your first year of marriage is through
The cream anniversary pair will light for you two.
Red candles aflame, both your futures are bright
Celebrate promotions you’ve worked toward with all of your might.
By this time we hope, maybe, just maybe
You can light the yellow ones on the birth of your baby.
And just when you thought you’d put these away
Take the light blue ones out for your fifth anniversary day.
Now just one more pair left for the big 25
The anniversary pair that will keep your love alive.
Congratulations
On the start of your forever
May the two of you always be happy together.
Now burn these candles just the way we said
But please don’t forget—blow them out before bed!"

Answer 6

First things first -- if the couple has registered for gifts any place, check there first. That will give you an idea of what they want -- and the colors they have selected for their home.

Of all the gifts that I received that were not on my list, I was most appreciative of the Pyrex bowl set with lids to match. Four different sized bowls -- that stack into one another -- each with a matching lid.

If you know the mother of the bride, ask her. She will probably know everything.

Answer 7

The wedding gift that I really liked (and still do) was a really nice set of kitchen knives given by my husband's aunt. It sounds goofy, but I get a lot of use out of them, and it's the sort of thing that young couples (without a lot of disposable income) wouldn't think to buy themselves. A good set of knives can be quite pricey, but if it's in your budget, it will be a gift they will use every day of their lives together.

Answer 8

The above answer is awesome! Anything that will allow them to get away together and have a romantic time.

Also, dinner and theatre tickets, a mini getaway or a sports gift certificate (sleeping bags, camping equipment, etc.), may be some good ideas. What are their hobbies?

Answer 9

undesirable undesirable undesirable undesirable! A very own loan for a marriage? not a reliable concept. You reported you have little or no earnings and no credit? No financial employer might very own loan the money to you. you are able to not pay them back "as you are able to". They set the words, and in case you do not abide by using them, it is called defaulting. Banks can provide very own loans, yet not a reliable concept for brand spanking new marriage. Wait on having an excellent ceremony, or in simple terms tone it down. i are conscious of it variety of feels like a tragic element to do, yet once you do not have money to pay for wedding ceremony, then how are you able to stay as husband and spouse? additionally, you do not want each and every of the persons up there with you. bypass the massive wedding ceremony and save for a beneficial reception.

Answer 10

im younger so i can't say from experience, but i think a couple would want something that they could do together. so i suggest a coupon for a massage at a spa or something. or maybe tickets to a show in the park. something that will allow them to be together and relaxed instead of worrying about where they're gonna put the new potholders and silverwear!
hope this helps!
