What wedding present shall you give the bridal couple? If you have been invited to the wedding, it is expected to give a wedding present to the bridal couple. But what shall you give the bridal couple.

If you are lucky, they have registered at some stores. The best man or the bride’s parents are most likely to have these lists. But if they do not have such lists, you have to think of something else. Try to select a gift that can be to a great delight and use in the future. Traditional it is common to give presents to the home. Today, many bridal couple have lived together for some time before their wedding, which means that they have already set up their house.

A very pleasant gift is an event, e.g. a balloon trip, a golf weekend etc.

It is also very nice to give away something that you have made yourself, perhaps a woven rag carpet, a painted watercolour, a bread basket, a CD or DVD with happy wedding guests etc.

You are perhaps a carpenter. Why not offer your help when the bridal couple wants to build their porch.

Nowadays, it is rather common to prefer money for their marriage instead of traditional items. According to tradition it is not customary to desire money as a wedding present, but it has become increasingly common.

Remember, although you have declined to the wedding, it is expected that you congratulate the bridal couple with a wedding present.
