Great
Ideas for Inexpensive Wedding Gifts
- by KissMeGoodnight.com
A wedding gift does not have to be expensive
to be well received and appreciated by the couple. While
the extravagance of some weddings may compel their guests to
purchase
pricey gifts, it is not necessary to do so. Many people are
invited to a number of weddings each year and it’s not feasible
to purchase an expensive gift for every wedding you attend.
While you may want to splurge on an extravagant gift for a
close friend or relative, you are not required to invest a
great deal of money in a gift for a casual acquaintance. Even
if you are very close with the couple you may be able to create
a very inexpensive gift for their wedding. The following are
just a few ideas for inexpensive wedding gifts that are sure
to delight the couple without breaking your budget.
One
inexpensive gift idea is to fill a mixing bowl with a variety
of kitchen utensils. This is both an inexpensive and
an extremely useful gift. Many couples are starting their life
together and will need a few basic utensils and kitchen gadgets
to get them started. This gift is thoughtful and useful without
being detrimental to your budget.
Another inexpensive gift idea is to create
a basket containing elements for a romantic dinner. You could put this basket together
by yourself and include items such as dry pasta and sauce as
well as a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. You might also
want to include a non-perishable desert such as biscotti to
complete your meal. You could even include a recipe card with
one of your own personally tested recipes. This inexpensive
gift idea will be greatly valued by the couple because it essentially
giving them the gift of a romantic night alone.
Picture
frames can also be an inexpensive wedding gift idea. The couple will likely have a wide variety of photos that they
will want to display in their home and providing them with
a few simple frames is an inexpensive way to give them a truly
useful gift. While many picture frames can be expensive, you
could find simple wooden frames in a craft store and paint
or decorate to suit the couple’s taste. You could also shop
at closeout stores for these items and may find quite a few
bargains available. Picture frames are an inexpensive and useful
wedding gift idea that is likely to be cherished by the couple.
The
couple’s registry could also be another source of inexpensive
wedding gift ideas. Many couples will register for an assortment
of items that span a large price spectrum. You may find that
the couple has included many inexpensive items in their registry
that may fall within your budget constraints. Choosing an inexpensive
item from the couple’s registry ensures that you are giving
them a gift that they will truly like and appreciate because
they picked out the item themselves.
If
you are a close friend or relative of the couple you may
be able to make a very inexpensive wedding gift that will also
be unique and greatly cherished by the couple. If you have
many pictures of the couple, you might consider arranging these
pictures in a unique way in a photo album to give to the couple
as a gift. You could also use the photos to create a scrapbook
or even a video presentation set to music that features the
couple. These gifts will be greatly appreciated by the couple
and can be created for a relatively small cost.
Candles
are another inexpensive wedding gift. Newlyweds often
incorporate candles in their decorating and also use candles
to create ambiance during dinner or on other occasions. Just
after they are married is the time when couples are most likely
to enjoy candlelight dinners frequently and for no specific
occasion so a wedding gift of candles is bound to be used often.
Candles come in a great variety of colors, sizes and scents
so it should be easy to find an assortment of candles that
will be appreciated by the couple.
A wedding gift does not have to be expensive to be useful
and appreciated by the couple. Many wedding guests spend a
great deal of money on fancy china or glassware that is only
used on special occasions while inexpensive gifts such as candles
and kitchen utensils are used by the couple on a daily basis.
