Personalised Wedding Gifts: Making the Big Day Even More Special
A wedding is a very special occasion for people that can be celebrated in many different ways. It is a day that is filled with love, laughter, and happiness, and it is a time for friends and family to come together to celebrate the wedding of two people in love.
If you have been invited to a wedding recently in Ireland and you are wondering what to give the happy couple as a wedding gift, then you won't find anything better or more personal than a personalised wedding themed gift.
Personalised gifts are a great way to show your love and appreciation for the newly weds and to make their special day that bit more memorable.
What Type Of Gift Should I Give?
There are of course many different options and types of personalised gifts that you can give to the newly weds that they can treasure and appreciate for years to come. And we have always found that the best wedding gifts are those that reflect the personalities and interests of the couple.
For example, if the couple is into golf or hurling, whether it be as players of the game or supporters then a personalised gift themed around their beloved sport will most certainly be well received. Below you'll find a list and link to our most popular sport themed gifts that can all be personalised for the couple as a thoughtful wedding gift.
Sports Themed Wedding Gift Ideas
It's not uncommon these days that the newly married or soon to be married couple will already be living together and have their own house so maybe a personalised wedding gift that is more themed to their home and home decor.
For example, they are sure to have taken plenty of lovely photos on the day itself, so maybe a more traditional personalised photo frame. You can add their name, the wedding date & venue etc.. or even a thoughtful custom message wishing them the very best for their future together.
Slate items such as slate coasters, slate placemats and slate hanging signs have also become very popular over the last number of years. They are not only practical gifts but can also add to the decor of the couple home.
Our personalised slate heart shaped hanging sign has proved a popular wedding gift idea for those already living together and makes a lovely display piece for the home that is sure to be cherished for years to come.
Wedding Gift Ideas
It's important to think about the couple's tastes and preferences when choosing a gift. If they are foodies, a personalised cookbook or customised kitchen gadget might be perfect. If they love to travel, a personalised notebook or journal might be more suitable to record their many adventures together. It's also a good idea to consider the couple's home decor style and choose a personalised gift that will fit in with their home.
How Much Should I Spend On A Wedding Gift?
When it comes to purchasing a wedding gift here in Ireland, there is no hard and fast rule about how much you should ideally spend. The amount you spend on a gift will depend on your relationship with the couple, your budget, and your personal preferences. As a general guideline, it's a good idea to spend around €50-€100 on a personalised wedding gift. However, if you are close friends or family of the couple, you may choose to spend more.
When Should I Give the Gift?
Traditionally, wedding gifts are given at the wedding reception. This is a time when the couple is surrounded by family and friends and when they are likely to receive many gifts. If you are attending the wedding, it's a good idea to bring your gift with you and present it to the couple during the reception.
Do I Give a Gift Even If I'm Not Attending the Wedding?
If you have been invited to a wedding but are unable to attend, it's still a good idea to send a gift to the couple. This shows that you are thinking of them and that you wish them all the best on their special day and that you are sorry that you will be unable to attend. You can choose to have the gift delivered to the couple's home or to the wedding venue if it is possible and ideally do this a week or two in advance of the wedding day if possible.
