A wedding is a special day – one in which two souls unite, acknowledging that they wish to spend their life together. When your friends get married, you will also share their happiness on their big day. And what better way to express that happiness than to offer them a gift you know they will adore?
There are numerous wedding gifts for couples that you can give them, depending on the personality of the couple. Think about what they love and what makes them happy, and then choose one of our gift ideas as a token of your friendship.
Robes
Who wouldn't like to receive a set of beautiful Mr. and Mrs. robes, particularly the kind that you could simply melt in? No matter if you go for the fluffy types of robes or if you choose elegant satin ones, make sure that they are well-made, comfortable, and fit their personalities. To give the idea of a "couple gift," you might want to buy matching robes.
Travel Map
If you're selecting a gift for couples who like to travel, then a well-made travel map is a good choice. Make it a very accurate one, with current data. At the same time, make sure that it looks classy. For example, if you buy a vintage-looking "pirate map," they might choose to hang that map in a frame, and only take it down when they plan on going somewhere.
Wall Printing Set
As a new couple, they are also probably planning to move together to a new house. To help get them started on their new lives, you can make their homes more welcoming by giving them a wall printing set. Go for something they like and that will bring them joy each time they look at the prints.
Personalized Matching Mugs
Who doesn't use cups in daily life, particularly a cute matching set? Now that they just got married, the chances are that they have to buy the main things necessary for their homes – and cups are some of these things. So, why not go ahead and buy them a set of personalized cups? Choose a "couple shape," as it is symbolic of their life together. You may go for something like the kissing cups, or half-heart cups that become whole when they are together.
Camera
Right now, your friends are at the beginning of a long and happy life together, so, why not help them remember every moment of it? A professional camera might be a good choice, as it allows them to take better quality pictures compared to an average smartphone. Add a photo album into the mix, and you have the perfect wedding gift for a couple to be married.
Luggage Set
Your friends are to be married, and the chances are that they are also planning to go on a honeymoon. And there's one thing you can't go on a honeymoon without – luggage. Buy a nice matching set that will work for both of them and that will pack most of their necessities. You should also pick something of a higher quality. For example, leather is always a good choice. They will certainly thank you for it.
Cookware Set
Are you dealing with cooks? Or maybe they are moving to a new home, with little cookware to bring with them from their old home? In this case, you might want to buy them a compact cookware set, to get them started in the kitchen. The good part of this gift is that both of them can use it, bonding as they are cooking a romantic dinner together. It might sound simple, but every couple will appreciate it.
Matching Pillows
Everyone loves a good pillow, particularly if it is a nice and comfortable one. Plus, aside from the comfort part, pillows look good for décor. For example, "Mr. and Mrs." pillows are quite popular as wedding gifts, as they will remind them they are now an official couple. You might want to go for a set that has a removable case, as they are much easier to maintain – and therefore, more practical for newlywed couples.
A Wine Set
If your friends fancy a glass of wine now and again, they will certainly be delighted upon receiving a nice wine set. Start them off with one that contains the wine glasses together with the corkscrew, wine stopper, foil cutter, and drip catcher. This way, everything will turn out perfect each time they decide to have a glass of wine together. If you are in a giving mood, you might top the gift off with a bottle of wine. Select a nicely aged wine from a good brand, or if you already know what their favorite wine is, you might choose that one instead. This way, you will know for certain they will enjoy it.
A Game Set
It is said that couples that play together will also stay together. This is why, if you are looking for some unique wedding gifts for couples, you might want to offer them a fun social game. It might be anything from Monopoly to a set of Cards Against Humanity. Consider their taste in board games and choose the one they are most likely to appreciate. Plus, this will work to your advantage – mainly because when you visit, you'll get the chance to play with them as well.
A Unique Dishware Set
Upon moving together, married couples will also love receiving dishware sets – particularly if their old ones are in desperate need of an update. Think about the décor of their homes, and also consider their general preferences. If they love the "old school," perhaps a nice-looking set of vintage plates is what they are looking for. On the other hand, if they are modernists, go for something on the edgier side. Either way, choose something unique and make sure that it is a complete set, with big and small plates.
Fluffy Towels
Everyone needs towels, and everyone loves the soft kind, so if you want to start them off nicely, give them a matching fluffy towel set. If you can get some towels with a unique embroidery, such as Mr. and Mrs., then they might make an even better gift. This is also a practical gift, as they will certainly need new towels upon moving into their new home.
Unique Home Sign
If you want to surprise them, you can choose something that will make them feel at home. If you want to kick it up a notch, you can personalize it. For example, you can engrave their name into the sign along with their wedding date. Not only will this be great for their home display, but it will always remind them of their wedding day. When it comes to wedding gifts for couples, this one will surely be appreciated.
Couple Cooking Class
Do you want to offer them an experience instead of a physical wedding gift? Give them a cooking class to go to, so that they can learn how to make delicious meals together. This is particularly appreciated by couples that already love to cook and want to learn more. So, to make things more interesting, make it a thematic class. This will allow them to bond as they are discovering new delicious dishes together – and they will have you to thank for that.
Beautiful Linen and Bedding
No couple will ever say that they have enough linen for their bedroom. If you give them something beautiful and unique – and most of all, comfortable – they will certainly appreciate it. Silk bedding is the most popular, but any kind of linen should do as long as it is of high quality. Make sure that the size of the set matches their bed, and ideally, go for something that mixes with the décor of their room.
Final Thoughts
The big day is approaching, and your friends are eager to start their new life together. To make that day even better, you must make sure to pick the best wedding gift. Think about practical things, but also consider their preferences as you make your choice.
