Quick Wedding Gifts
- Even if the newlyweds hired a professional photographer to capture the event, there will still be scores of photos taken by guests. The cost of printing photos at home or developing film from disposable cameras placed on guest tables at the reception can add up very quickly. Help the couple preserve the memories from their special day with a gift card to a local photo shop and some multiple-photo frames. Odds are the couple already received at least one expensive frame as a gift, so go with standard black frames which can hold various photos and fit in with the color scheme of almost any room.
- Give the gift of pleasure and enhance the honeymoon for the couple. Browse the website of their honeymoon lodging facility to see what add-on amenities are available. You can make the purchase online and request a certificate be presented to the couple upon their arrival. Arrange for a romantic couples massage, gourmet in-room meal or even book a recreational adventure through the facility's guest services department.
- If the couple is escaping to a secluded cabin in the woods or nature lovers, give the gift of a romantic outdoor meal. Picnic baskets or picnic backpacks typically come with utensils already included. Just purchase some wine, cheese and crackers and ship or deliver the gift to their honeymoon hamlet.
- Once home from the honeymoon the couple will begin to settle down from all of the excitement and begin balancing their checkbooks. After all of the wedding related expenses the couple may be on a tight budget, especially if they are younger and just starting out on their own. Go to a local grocery and purchase all of the non-perishables to accompany a fine meal. Purchase a wicker basket lined with a linen tablecloth to hold all of the food items and a bottle of wine. Buy a gift card from a grocery store near their home to purchase perishable items needed to fix the recipe you tie to the wine bottle. Before you wrap the basket, buy either a movie you think the couple would like or another gift card from a local movie rental store and place it in the basket. A couple recovering from months of wedding planning and spending money will appreciate a dinner and movie for a romantic date night at home.
