At every wedding you attend as a wedding guest, you're inevitably faced with the question: What should I give?Our top rules for giving wedding gifts they're guaranteed to love.
> Buy From Their Registry
Don't get too creative. What is on the registry, is what they need. Find out where the couple is registered. Many stores make shopping more convenient by allowing guests to access registries online, or you can just head to the store to purchase in person. The couple set up the registry for a reason, and if you stick to it, you can't possibly buy a gift they won't like!
> Kitchen, Entertaining, Bed, and Bath Gifts - A MustUnlike years past, today's couples want modern twists on the traditional wedding gifts, even though some of the most popular gifts still comes from the kitchen, dinning, bedding, and bath departments.
Give them gifts that'll create a spa-like, hotel environment every morning when they wake up.
In terms of entertaining, consider giving a set dishes and stainless ware that can multitask - and either be dressed up for dinner with the boss or dressed down for a braai.
Many couples use their wedding as an excuse to upgrade their kitchen with new appliances. Give state-of-the-art kitchen gear, gadgets, and cookware that look as good on the counter as they do when in use.
> Give a Big Group Gift
Big price tag items purchased by a group of their friends works well. It might be items the couple would most likely never be able to afford on their own. If the couple has registered for an item that's out of range for just one person to afford, ask some other guests to chip in with you. It's also a great idea for the bridal party to band together and buy the couple the item of their dreams.
> Buy it Within Two Months
With the convenience of online buying and shipping, there's little excuse for a delay in delivering the wedding gift. Try to send your gift within two months of the wedding if you weren't able to bring it to the wedding.
