You met ‘em, in fact you’ve probably known ‘em for a while, and now you’re invited to their wedding this summer. Sure, their wedding gift registry exists, but it seems a bit slapdashed, and you want to make sure you can make their wedding as memorable as possible.
Just what do you get for a wedding gift for the couple that has everything? Especially nowadays with many couples more than ever shacking up before they get married, and how couples in general are getting married later in life, just getting a new towel set (or even that new blender) isn’t going to cut it.
Not to worry, dear reader, that’s why you’re here. Read on for some wedding gift ideas for those seemingly un-shoppable couples!
A Tangible Keepsake For A Timeless Memory
There are plenty of ways to mark the moment in time of such a momentous occasion, but the hopeless romantic in me just adores these two in particular!
Capture the Evening’s Night Sky
Over at Etsy, WorldVibeStudio offers a framed snapshot of the night sky at the exact time and location of the couple’s wedding. They also can include multiple “moments” like when the couple was engaged and had their first date, so the couple can look back at the timeline and see what they saw those fateful evenings years before.
Time Capsule, Wine Capsule
I’m a sucker for the romance of a good bottle of wine, especially if it’s a shared favorite between myself and my partner. For this gift, you can enclose a bottle of wine with two glasses and a note to not open for 365 days. If there’s anything that the couple would love is to relive those wedding moments over again, especially when the sentiment comes from the ones they love. Over at The Knot is a handy guide on how to set up a gift like this.
Perfectly Pleasant And Practical
Y’all, I might be a hopeless romantic, but I’m also a double virgo. If you can be sentimental AND practical at the same time? Sign. Me. Up.
No Kitchen Is (Seemingly) Complete Without…
A good knife! When was the last time you changed your knives? Even those couples in their mid-30’s might not have done this since they first moved in (I’m certainly guilty).
Yes, it’s been said over and over and over that the couples who cook together stay together, but making sure you have the perfectly prepped kitchen can seem daunting. This is easily achievable, though, with only a few staple items! Namely, a good quality knife.
A fav chef of mine, Carla Lalli Music, recently talked about her fav knives on her YouTube channel and recommends plenty for you to choose from so your newly-nuptialed friends can pitch their bachelor/bachelorette pad discount knives and step up.
Rest & Relax When The Honeymoon Is Over
Honestly, I knew from the start that I had to include this gift, partially because I’m jealous I don’t have this gift more often, and partially because it’s exactly what a couple could ask for.
Over at The Shop in our Berkshires Paraphernalia Pack collection is our Relaxing and Recovering Pack. With it’s VER Detox Bath and Elevate and Infuse Body Butter (just to name a few), this is perfect for that couple to extend that honeymoon for just a couple more nights, and who could say no to that!
