Finding the perfect wedding gift can seem like a task. Even though the bride and groom are the centers of attention, weddings can be stressful for attendees, especially when you have no idea what to get for someone who has everything. Here’s a quick guide to wedding gifts.
What is a Wedding Gift?
Wedding gifts are given because they are a token of appreciation and a gesture of one’s best wishes to the newlyweds. Gift-giving in itself is a practical way to show appreciation for the bride and groom. A wedding gift should not be thought of as a payment for attending a wedding or compensation for all the expenses that the bride and groom spent on the wedding and reception.
Rather, it’s an expression of regard for the couple. Wedding gifts are significant to the newlyweds and can be very memorable too. Guests might want to consider the ethnic background or certain traditions of the bride and the groom. This idea may help to pick a gift that is more meaningful than others.
In Japan, for example, it is traditional for wedding guests to provide a monetary gift in a stylized or fancy envelope. In many European countries, gift giving to the newlywed means prosperity and brings certain luck. No doubt that newlyweds look forward to receiving presents. Whatever you gift, as long as it’s heartfelt and accompanied by a personally penned card of special, sweet wishes to the couple you can’t go wrong.
Wedding gift ideas for women
With the rise of gift registries—and, more recently, honeymoon funds—the sentiment behind a wedding gift for her doesn’t always shine through. While you can go the standard route with champagne glasses for all the toasts ahead, it’s a bit more fun to surprise her with something you know she’ll love—and we’re betting you know her better than (almost) anyone. Here are some suggestions for wedding gift for her:
- Vegan leather journal: a lush vegan leather diary you'll find at MY BODHI - a beautiful, stand-alone journal for all the sketches and journal entries she'll want to capture in the course of her wedding and beyond .

Best gifts for a bride
All gifts for a bride are perfect as long as they’re not suggestive, unwelcome, or too personal. The goal is simply for the bride to love the gift, and, hopefully, use it more than just once. To make them feel special, always give them something up close and personal, items that they’d love to use. Enhance their style statement with some fashion-forward gifts.
Brides particularly appreciate the gifts that pamper and help them de-stress, or ones that aid them in preparation during this typically-stressful time.
