Before too much longer, you’ll start getting wedding invitations in the mail and filling up the calendar with engagement parties, bridal showers, bachelor or bachelorette parties, as well as the wedding dates themselves. Gathering some wedding gift ideas now will help you shop later in a leisurely way!

Choosing Wedding Gifts

Some couples sign up for wedding registries, making buying gifts a snap. You can easily see what they would like, as well as whether something has been purchased, so that your gift will be a perfect fit no matter what you choose from the list.

Take the couple’s interests into account while you narrow down your options, if you can. If you don’t know the couple as well, housewarming gifts such as appliances and kitchen linens are traditional. Most stores can give you the option of a gift receipt so that they can always exchange the gift if they receive a duplicate tea kettle, or if they’ve already got a tea kettle they love!

Older couples who may already be established likely already own appliances and linens, making shopping a little more challenging. In these cases, you can get choose something that is both tailored to their interests and useful, such as a monogrammed bar set, custom kitchenware, or even art! For your friends who love espresso, why not surprise them with a new espresso maker?

For couples who have kids from a previous marriage, consider choosing family gifts that they can all enjoy together such as tickets to musicals, shows, sports, museums, and theme parks to name a few. Not only will these gifts be unique, you’ll also be helping strengthen new family bonds.

And remember - feel free to get creative when it comes to wedding gift ideas for the home! As long as you’re giving a thoughtful and heartfelt gift, you can’t go wrong with whatever you choose.

Wedding Gifts Outside of a Wedding Registry

Some couples do not choose to have a wedding registry. In these cases, you have complete free rein to find a gift that expresses your thoughtfulness, friendship, or love. With the entire internet at your fingertips, this might seem overwhelming!

Fret not, though – you can always choose traditional flatware, dishware, or glassware if you’re truly at a loss. Gift cards to home supply stores may not seem the most personal of gifts, but the bride and groom will appreciate a shopping spree at their favorite store. Most wedding gifts are intended to help new couples furnish their home, whether they’re moving into a new place or making some upgrades to an existing home, so don’t hesitate to choose something that is utilitarian.

If generic gifts are not your thing, then consider choosing something to complement the bride and groom’s mutual interests. For example, gift crate subscriptions are very popular right now. Gift crates are curated boxes of unique goods that are tailored to many interests such as the outdoors, food, wine, beer, art, books, and many more. For most of these sites, you can choose a one-time gift or a set multi-month subscription.
