What Should I Ask for as a Wedding Gift?


  • Traditionally, wedding gifts were meant to help couples start their new homes. It was not unusual to find guests giving home decor gifts, cookware, appliances, and other gifts that would make the transition seamless for the couple. However, today people are more flexible and readily give gift vouchers and money gifts. Some couples also open a gift registry to request what they need. 

    Most people are happy to abide by what the couple wants so you should think critically when coming up with wedding gift ideas. There is also no harm in allowing people to creatively choose their preferred gifts. Personalized wedding gifts are awesome because sometimes the messages engraved on gifts mean much more than the gifts themselves.

    Some gifts, such as this personalized zipper wallet, may not be your typical wedding gifts. However, some people may want to give you a functional gift that you can use daily. It is made from distressed full-grain leather and has sufficient card and money storage spaces. The compact design is perfect for your purse or pockets. 

    If you’re creating a gift registry, consider people of different budgets. Affordable wedding gifts like this couple’s Christmas ornament will be appreciated by people who wish to get you a wedding gift but cannot afford to put too much into the gift. It is an excellent choice if your wedding is close to the holiday season and you’re looking for ornaments to reflect your first Christmas as a couple. 

    You can also add symbolic gifts like this anchor name necklace. Request identical name necklaces, personalized for both of you. The anchor symbolizes the end of your lives as separate individuals and the start of your life together.
