Wedding Gift Ideas

Last-minute Wedding Gift Ideas 

It happens to us all; we think we have plenty of time and then you check the shipping and realize your perfect gift idea just isn’t going to get there on time. We are here to help with our top three last-minute gift ideas that are still thoughtful and do not feel rushed. 

  • Coffee Machine
  • You can buy a coffee machine in-store at any mall so if your engaged couple are coffee fanatics. I couldn’t think of a better gift which will be used every day, maybe even five times a day!

  • Gift Card for a Night Away
  • Whether your favourite couple has a special spa hotel they always like to visit or they love venturing to new places, this is the perfect gift for them. I mean who doesn’t love a free holiday?

  • Celebration hamper
  • You can create your own celebration hamper with all your newly-weds favourite goodies or collect a pre-made one in-store. Either way, this simple gift is quick for creating last minute, but it can go a long way to the hearts of the couple. 

    Personalized Wedding Gift Ideas 

    We believe that personalized wedding gift ideas are some of the best gifts. These ideas are so thoughtful and will leave a lasting impact on the just-wed pair.

  • Personalized Pillowcases
  • Go bold by personalizing the cases with a thoughtful vow or funny childhood nicknames. Or go with a pillow embroidered with their names and their wedding date for their sofa.

  • Embellished Matching Robes
  • What screams one-of-a-kind more than matching robes with their initials and wedding date embellished onto the back or sleeve, so your favorite couple can remember their special day every morning? 

  • Photo Album
  • You can not go wrong with a photo album. Fill a photo album full of childhood memories, and wedding photos or leave it blank for the partners to fill in with future memories.   

    Creative Wedding Gift Ideas 

    Are you totally stumped on thinking of creative gift ideas? Here are some of our favorites.

  • Print of the Wedding Venue Framed
  • They say memories are often tied to a location. We hope the lovers have many happy memories in their wedding venue. So why not get a watercolor print of the venue framed? If you are not sure about the venue, then a print of their home would also be extremely creative and thoughtful. 

  • Couples Keyrings
  • If you are traveling with limited luggage and can only carry a small gift but you still want to bring something unique, this is the perfect gift. Customize matching keyrings with their new married names engraved that interlock when connected!

  • Box of Memories from the Wedding
  • Fill an engraved box with little souvenirs and photos from the wedding to capture beautiful memories for safekeeping. Go extra and use a polaroid camera to take photos to put in the box.

     

    Wedding Gift Bags

    Wedding gift bags are such great memorials so keep it unique and personable. There is no right way. Customize your wedding gift bag depending on the venue eg. for a beach wedding use shells and rustic bags. But remember to keep the wedding bag travel friendly and put inside something that is special to you eg. keep it local with snacks and souvenirs. 

     

    How much to spend on wedding gift?

    It is generally recommended to spend around $50-$100 per person for a wedding gift. If you are closer to the couple, consider spending more for the wedding gift. 

    What to gift for bridal shower?

    It is best to gift something that is in the wedding registry as this will be something the couple actually wants. Typically, home essentials items are the go-to gift for a bridal shower.
