Gift Guide: Unique Wedding Gift Ideas

You are invited to a wedding, and you don’t want to give your friends (or family member) just anything on their special day – you want to give them something meaningful. Something more than cash or a can opener – something they can remember their big day by. Some people would splash out for example by giving the happy couple a DJI Mavic Pro so they can capture all of their wedding shots from some fantastic angles, some people would give gifts to remember for example some would consider a full size mattress for the new couple, but some might not be comfortable with that gift.

Not sure what to get then? We can help you find the perfect gift for the new couple!

Monthly Food/Drink Clubs

Get the newlyweds a membership to a food or drink of the month club – there are so many out there to choose from too! It varies anywhere from a Beer of the Month Club to a Wine of the Month Club to Food of the Month Club by William Sonoma.

Something Personalized

The bride and groom will love anything you give them that will remind them of their big day, and a great way to do that is to customize a picture frame, clock or painting – something for them to show off and remind them of their special day.

We love the custom etched glass in the frames … the perfect decoration for a newlywed home!

We love the idea of a Christmas ornament for the newlyweds! A great way to remember their first Christmas as a married couple! A great way to do this is to incorporate the wedding vows, wedding program or invitation in a clear ornament.
