What do you get the bride, groom or couple on their wedding day?
Whether you’re a bridesmaid wanting to give a gift to the bride, a proud parent or a wedding guest, thoughtful wedding day gifts for the newlyweds-to-be don’t need to cost the earth.
The important thing is that, whether it’s personalised with a special message or simply personal to their specific likes and interests, you can find something that shows you know and love who they are as they take that all-important walk down the aisle and into their new life together.
A practical but also indulgent day-of-wedding gift could be something they can use while they’re getting ready – say a skincare or bath and body gift set – or ways to help them feel calm after the stress of planning gradually subsides, to help them ease into life as a Mrs or Mr.
If you’re looking for gift ideas that are as unique as they are, as a couple and individuals, consider what their new life will look like as newlyweds. From creating memories to capturing them, the right gift can help create a marriage that’s as beautiful as their wedding day.
It could be a photo album where they can display the posed and more candid snaps of their wedding day, an experience day voucher to make the post-honeymoon return to reality less of a shock or a sentimental gift they can get misty-eyed over as they settle into married life.
