Wedding Gifts for People You Don’t Know Very Well

Buying a wedding gift for someone you don’t know very well, but who feels they know YOU well enough to invite to their wedding may be the easiest gift of all to buy. First, find out if and where they have a gift registry. Then it’s a simple matter of adding to their chosen set of china, silverware, or other household items. If the couple has not registered anywhere, then a generic gift of which there are countless choices will suffice nicely.

What to present  Wedding Gifts for People You Don’t Know Very Well

The point is that you express your generosity of spirit and wish the couple a happy wedding day by sending some sort of appropriate gift. This could include a gift basket filled with imported wine, cheeses, fruit, and other gourmet goodies (perfect for the couple to enjoy from a honeymoon hotel suite!); linens embroidered with the couple’s initials; crystal ware (a lead-crystal vase is always a welcome gift!); or a collection of beautifully rendered, scented candles.

A wedding gift should express your best wishes for the couple, not advertise how much money you do or don’t have. So pick your gift to fit not only the couple, but your budget, as well. And remember: It’s never the price of the gift that should matter, but the sentiment with which it is given.
