The wedding is an important and memorable event not only for the newlyweds, but also for their relatives and close people. And when we get an invitation to this wonderful holiday, the first thing we ask ourselves is: "And what should I give?".Very often this question confuses us. When asking newlyweds, they either just shrug their shoulders or respond with a standard phrase - money. But if you think about it, it becomes clear that for most couples this money will simply dissolve, and not having time to materialize, in anything. And over time, they will simply forget what kind of money they were given for the wedding. And, in order to multiply the pleasure of the newlyweds, it is worth giving something special, and most importantly - useful. Let's consider some variants of gifts.

Common gifts
It has long been believed that a wedding present must be useful for a wedding: tablecloth, carpet, bedspread, setdishes, in our time - household appliances and stuff. But in this case it is worth considering the factor with whom the newlyweds will live after the wedding. Proceeding from this, it is possible to conditionally hold three parallels:
- couples who after the wedding will live with their parents. As practice shows, most couples live just like that. Accordingly, they do not need a second washing machine on the farm or a regular set of cutlery. The best surprise for these newlyweds is seclusion. Give them a honeymoon in romantic cities. But do not forget to ask the young people if they did not buy a ticket, so that you do not have to go instead of them yourself. An excellent option would be a booked hotel room, with a romantic atmosphere. The newlyweds will be able to spend the first wedding night there, without fearing to wake the parents sleeping behind the wall. And to remove it yourself will be very problematic, because it took a lot of money for the things necessary for the wedding.
- couples who will live in their own apartment. In this case, your imagination is unlimited. Since they will need everything, from the soap tray and ending with the TV.Everything will depend only on your financial possibilities. It is best, of course, to give things that will come in handy from the first days of cohabitation. Vacuum cleaner, washing machine - these are the most necessary things for couples who live separately from their parents. Microwave - a wonderful invention of mankind, without which virtually no modern family can manage. It will allow you to quickly warm up the food, after a hard day's work. Does not take much space in the kitchen, if the newlyweds are planning to rent an apartment. The camera will be a great gift, which will capture all the bright moments from the life of a young family.
- couples who have long been living together. These newlyweds do not need much at the time of the wedding. In this case, it would be most sensible to visit their house a couple of weeks before the wedding and find out what they do not have. In this case, do not forget that "the taste and color of comrades there."If the interior of the apartment is designed in the style of minimalism, then they are unlikely to come to delight from the donated oriental carpet. Even if he likes you madly.
"Pregnant" newlyweds
When everyone knows that the couple plans to become parents, there is a great temptation to donate a stroller, crib, diapers and other children's things. This is not worth doing. Since the wedding is a celebration of the bride and groom, and not their unborn heir. Accordingly, the present should also be designed for the newlyweds. A surprise for the baby should be saved for his birth. At the wedding it is quite possible to give a ticket to the sanatorium, where the future parents will be able to relax and gain strength for a new stage in their life.
Unusual Gifts
These surprises are suitable for those couples who do not need anything or they have a certain hobby. It can be diving or horse riding. Joint Spa. Or a professional photo shoot for the newlyweds, to create a family portfolio. For lovers of extreme sports - skydiving is just right. You can also present a joint portrait, which the artist can draw from a photograph. And you can also give a new member of the family: a kitten or a puppy. But before asking to ask the young, do they agree to this turn of events.
Money
If you still decided not to bother and just give money, then it is important to present this gift unusually. This is worth doing, so that it arouses interest at the level of other gifts.
You can put money in a three-liter bank, say that it's your own "bank" for the young. Perhaps you want to build a money tree, in which the leaves can be replaced with bills. As an option, give one bill behind the glass frame, and on top with the inscription "Split in case of emergency".Such a gift will be accurately stored for some time.
Packaging
Like the first impression of a person, the impression of a gift can tell a lot about him, and about who gives it. Beautifully designed packaging makes the gift even more pleasant. Of course, you can ask for help from specialists who will pack and decorate any thing, but the best and most significant decoration will be manual design. Here you can give vent to your imagination: the more unusual and original - the better. As a material everything will work out: paper, foil, ribbons, colored glass.
Universal advice
- Be sure to remove the price tag, unless of course it does not hurt the subject. The check is best left at home, in case, and suddenly the thing will have to be changed. And do not be shy to ask if the thing works properly.
- Do not give a surprise after the wedding day. It must be picked up in advance, not on the day of the holiday. Since the wedding is invited in advance and there is always time to think about what to give.
- Do not buy on the principle of "what first got in the eye."A gift that is bought in a hurry, will not be from the heart. And this is noticeably not with an armed eye. Thus, there will be disrespect for a person who wanted to share a holiday with you.
- A gift should be equally useful to both the groom and the bride.
- If you want to choose something expensive, but means do not allow, you can unite with someone.
- Be sure to ask young people what they want to receive as a gift. Since the answer, maybe, lies on the surface, but is not noticeable.
- If you decide to give a postcard, then write the wish yourself. Let these be not poetry, but prose, but with a pure heart.
- And do not forget about the packaging. Since it is the main attribute of a surprise.
