Thinking Of Creative Wedding Gift Ideas

By Krystal Branch


A ceremony is fast approaching and you are trying desperately to come up with a gift idea for the special occasion. Creative wedding gift ideas are the ones that they'll remember and that is exactly the type of present you wish to present them with. There are several tried and true presents such as linens, china, glassware or kitchen items but you want to be different and unique in your selection.

Give a gift that keeps on giving. If this couple seems to already have everything they could possibly want or desire, give to a favorite charity in their names. Perhaps they have a parent who suffers from cancer or heart disease. Maybe as a child one of them had been exposed to a long-term illness. World poverty or the plight of children seems to be something they may wish to contribute funds to. Whatever the case, choose one that they would choose for themselves if they had the money.

Another present that will last a lifetime is a tree for their backyard. This tree could symbolize their lives as they grow together - pictures next to the tree can be taken every anniversary. Their children's photos can be taken under its leaves as it gets larger. If the couple owns their own home with a large yard, this can be a very thoughtful choice. If they still live in a condo or apartment and have plans to purchase a home, buy them a small tree in a pot that they can take with them and plant when they choose their new place of residence.

Find a copy of their engagement photo and bring it to an artist. Ask him to re-do it in watercolors or oil paints. This can become a dramatic focal point in the home and a pleasant reminder of how it all first began. They can hang in in the front entrance or above a fireplace or buffet table for extra impact.

Give a certificate good for house sitting while they are on they honeymoon or vacation. Offer to pet sit or plant sit when they decide to take that special trip. Purchase a coupon to get their yard mowed free of charge for a specific amount of time. Anything that will make the first year of their lives together easier will be much appreciated.

Having photos of the couple blown up on canvas is an excellent method of providing memories and artwork for their new home. Select a variety of spontaneous and fun pictures that will make them smile and give guests a vision of their road to their marriage.

Purchase gift cards to their favorite restaurant. Maybe it is the location where they had their first date or the venue where he proposed to his new bride. Dining at special restaurants is a real treat and every time they use one of the cards, they will think of your love and generosity.

Creative wedding gift ideas do not have to be extravagant or expensive. They just need to come from the heart. The better you know the bride and groom, the easier it will be to select the absolutely unique and most creative gift for them.
