The topic of wedding gifts comes up every time we attend such a ceremony. What should we give the newlyweds? A practical gift or cash? We check what kind of present will be a sure bet and what might turn out to be a blunder... And what is truly worth giving to the young couple that will be useful!
Cash – a good choice?
One of the most popular gifts still given to the happy couple is money – many people assume that after all the wedding expenses, cash will be the most useful to the newlyweds. Giving a few banknotes is also a convenient solution – instead of running around shops, you just need to go to the nearest ATM. But is cash really the ideal gift?
First and foremost, we need to consider what amount should be in the envelope. A small sum might make us look a bit tight-fisted compared to other guests. A large sum isn't the best solution either – it might embarrass the newlyweds, burdening them with a debt of gratitude or the need to reciprocate. Furthermore, such a gift won't have any sentimental value.
Instead of cash, let's give the happy couple a gift card to a chosen store.
However, if we don't have an idea for a gift or run out of time to find one, we can replace cash with trendy gift cards. Simply choose a store and specify the amount, and the young couple can buy what they need themselves – a clever, practical, and tasteful solution. If we do decide to buy a wedding gift, remember that it should be durable and stylish, and at the same time, perfectly suited to the couple receiving it!
Tangible gifts – what to choose?
Embarking on a new journey together for many couples means moving in and building a family nest – so we have a truly broad scope when it comes to choosing wedding gifts. Tangible presents will be a practical and valuable memento!
Kitchen robot
Every young married couple will undoubtedly be delighted with household appliances. A functional kitchen robot, a juicer, or a high-quality kettle would be handy for young couples 'starting out' in life.
Pot sets
We could also give them a set of sturdy pots. The newlyweds would gladly replace any odd pots and pans they've probably had since their student days. For this special occasion, Eva Solo pots from the Eva Trio - White Line series would be ideal.
Elegant dinnerware set
An elegant dinnerware set would also make a splendid gift. A coffee service or dinner plates are, after all, useful in every home. We could also present the happy couple with an original cutlery set from a renowned brand. Such a gift will undoubtedly delight the newlyweds and serve them for many years to come. If you're looking for something truly unique, opt for black cutlery or fish cutlery – they're sure to leave a lasting impression and find practical use time and again!
Original set
We can easily tailor the gift to suit our budget. If a dinner service is beyond our financial means, we can at least opt for elegant wine accessories. We can also create a personalised set ourselves, by combining beautiful and functional decorations, such as a bonbonnière, a tea pot, and a cake stand.
Modern bedding
A good idea would also be to present the newlyweds with a bed linen set. There should be at least a few in the household linen cupboard, so this practical gift will undoubtedly bring them joy. Instead of classic white, let's choose bedding with an original print that will introduce a touch of romance or humour to the marital bedroom.
And what instead of flowers?
Besides a gift, we usually give the newlyweds something else. Until recently, it was flowers – a small and fragrant, yet very fleeting memento. More and more often, young couples are opting out of a beautiful, yet troublesome, stack of bouquets. In wedding invitations, we might come across a request for wine, a book, or a lottery ticket. A highly popular and noble initiative is collections of toys or school supplies, which the couple decides to donate to, for example, an orphanage.
A good idea - a gift list!
