How To Choose Newlywed Romantic Gifts To Brides And Grooms

By Christopher Richardson


Celebrating the union of two people is a milestone that deserves all the gifts and blessings in the world. It is not everyday that an individual finds someone they choose to be with for the rest of their lives and this kind of happiness should be shared with friends and family. The gifts that are received by the couple are a symbol that the people they both love are supportive of their union.

Wedding gifts can either be the things you give to the bride and groom or what you get from them. The concern actually lies more on the what attendees of the wedding should be giving them. Finding good newlywed romantic gifts are not as romantic as they should actually be practical.

Many people attending these events may already have a template of what they want to give. The downside is that there is a large possibility that they are not aware of what they should avoid giving. The point of giving a present is not only to convey how thoughtful and generous a person is, but in this case, how much they care about the newlyweds success in their marriage.

It would be a stretch too far to say that a single item given by friends or family can affect the marriage in the long run. But initially these things are meant to boost their building of a family to the right direction. The first thing that you should avoid giving are pets. They do not need another liability in their lives, when one, they may be planning to have kids, or two, have spent a fortune on the wedding.

Monogrammed objects are not as practical as you may like to think, romantic maybe. Only get this if the bride and groom personally asked you to. If you are not the closest to them, it may be best to leave the embroidered towels and items alone, lest you want to risk putting in the wrong letters or names.

As thoughtful and well meaning a self help book may sound, think against it. Negative implications may be attached to the gesture. This can be seen as telling the couple that they are inadequate and ill prepared for what they are getting into. Newly weds may not take this lightly and end up severing their relations with you.

Pieces of furniture, large or small ones should be given second thoughts. Choosing the right one would take a lot of time, research and even preparation. This is to make sure that everything in their home aesthetically fits. Buying them should be left to the newlyweds. If they say that they want a particular piece and you seem apprehensive on the details, then just choose to give money for them to purchase it.

A mortal sin in gift giving is re gifting. This should not even be on the list but there may be those that may think that this will save them money, if they really have nothing to spare. There is no shame in that, but best just not to give anything other than your best wishes if that is the case.

If nothing extra creative goes in your head while deciding on a present, money is the safest bet. It is even very likely that is what these newlyweds want and are just to polite to ask for. Apparently, it seems like a shortcoming on etiquette if you ask for cash on your wedding day.
