Tips to help you find the best wedding gift

Shopping for a wedding gift can be stressful as you don’t want to give the couple something that they wouldn’t use. Here are some simple tips to help you to find the right wedding gift.

Cover the basics – If you want the couple to use your gift everyday look at buying casual living and dining items. Classic white dishes and towels are not boring but are very functional and can be used in any setting.

Pool together with other guests – If you want to spend on something expensive, but cannot foot the whole bill, look at pairing your purchase with another guest. Speak to the bride’s or groom’s parents and ask them to suggest someone who would pair up.

Customize your gift – Monogrammed bath towels, mugs or wine glasses are a special gift that any couple will cherish for years to come.

Stick to the registry – It is best to purchase a gift from the registry before all the good items are gone.

Home décor is not a good idea – Since it is difficult to judge a person’s taste, it is best to avoid items like paintings, figurines or vases as they will end up only in storage.

Table linen – Table linen is a useful gift as long as the colors and textures of the fabrics are neutral. Look at colors like beige, white, gray and black with soft detailing.
