While the thought behind a gift matters a lot, the fact remains that the gift matters just as much! Efforts must therefore be made to select that ideal wedding gift that aptly portrays love and warmth you share with that person. Given here are some ideal wedding gift ideas to inspire and encourage you.

Jewellery
Jewellery is a traditional and much appreciated wedding gift in India. The best part of jewelry is that it is a wonderful keepsake. Some jewellery ideas include Gold and silver jewelry items like necklace, bracelets, earrings, pendants, ring (if you are sure of the size), anklet and toe rings. You may also give gold or silver coins or silver items with personalized engravings.

Money
While it’s rude for a couple to ask for money, it is never rude to give cash. If you still want to give a personal wedding gift, combine the two: attach a check to a beautiful picture frame, a kitchen gadget, or a long letter detailing your wishes and advice for their marriage.

Ask the couple for a wish list
When confused, the ‘wedding wish list’ comes to the rescue. A common tradition in the West, a wedding list is like a wish list of gifts the couple would like to receive. For example, if a couple is setting up their own home, they may need a host of practical gifts. This could include kitchenware, bedroom linen, smaller items of furniture, electronics and maybe even house plants. Even if the couple is not moving into their own home, they may still be able to come up with a combined list of various articles they would like to receive. If you are very close to the couple, request them to give a wish list that can be circulated to very close friends and family. If they don’t know how to go about it, here are some tips. If they really don’t want to have a wish list, ask them which store they would like a gift voucher from.

A luxurious hotel room for their first night as a married couple
Start their marriage off right by giving them a night to remember before they take off for their honeymoon. Check with the bride’s mother or the maid-of-honor to ensure reservations have not already been made, and give your gift early so that they’ll be able to include it in their plans.

Make their honeymoon extra sweet
If you’ve ever been to the place where the couple is honeymooning, use that knowledge to get them a gift certificate for your favorite restaurant or resort activity. You could also upgrade their plane tickets to first class, give them a camera to help them take great pictures, or give them some spending money tucked inside a guidebook of the area.
