So you have been invited to another wedding and you want to get the happy couple a great gift. Tired of giving toasters, glassware, and money? Let's get right to the point, this year's top gifts to receive are photo frames, monogrammed items they can show off, and weekend vacation get-a-ways.
Photo frames are always a perfect gift to give for many reasons. If you choose a stainless steel or a neutral finish such as black or gold aluminum, you don't have to worry about matching the decor of their house. These types of frames usually compliment any room. When choosing what size to get, I would suggest purchasing 5" x 7" and 8" x 10" photo frames. The 5"x7" is a perfect size to place on the bedside table, fire place mantel, or a coffee table without taking up too much room or making too big of a statement.
And an 8" x 10" frame can be displayed on a wall, placed on a desk or an accent table. Have the frame engraved with the happy couples name or special message for a real personal touch. The Signature Frame is very popular this year, not just for weddings but for all special occasions. It is a great alternative to the traditional paper guest book and is a very special keepsake. Your guests simply sign directly on the frame for a lasting impression.
The solid wood beveled frame can hold an 8" x 10" picture and comes complete with the easy-to-use Signature Engraving Scribe??which permanently etches signatures into the sturdy, high quality alloy surface, additional matting, hanging hardware, and a micro-fiber polishing cloth to remove smudges. This Signature Frame is an amazing keepsake that will be treasured forever.
Monogrammed gifts such as bath towels, robes, bar gear, and party ware are wonderful keepsakes that have an elegant appeal. Engrave a set of wine, pilsner and/or shot glasses with the couple's initials. A sleek Pewter Medallion Mug engraved with the couples name and or a special message is something they can use for all their favorite beverages. For a more prestigious gift, give a silver plated or stainless steel wine opener or stopper engraved with the couple's initials along with a personalized Napa Wine Carrier that can be embossed with their initials as well. Bar and party items are always a welcome gift as this is something that is not often purchased on their own and enhances the happy couple's entertaining experiences.
Weekend getaway trips can be found in every city and town at affordable prices. The obvious, amazing weekend trip would be cruises or a weekend at a lovely Inn or Spa. Booking these types of trips can be risky because you cannot be sure the dates you reserve will be convenient for the couple to attend and many trips are not refundable. You would definitely want to inform the couple of your intentions prior to purchasing these types of trips. Search weekend getaway on the web for things to do in your area, you can find local Hotels, Spas, Wineries, and Inn's that have packages you can purchase that can be used for up to one year. Put together a special, romantic basket that is filled with decant chocolates, fine wines, cheese and crackers and tickets to a concert or play. Tickets to a roller rink or ice skating ring are also a fun, romantic activity.
Whenever you are in doubt of what type of wedding present to give, try to think about what they like not what you like. Don't buy them a useless gift such as a bird statue or big purple vase that doesn't even go with their d矇cor, be safe and give cash!
