The Practical Wedding Gift
by Pam Goodwin
Price is not as big a factor as the THOUGHT put into a gift. If the party is registered, this is an indication of things they need and/or want, so... Take advantage of the list, it'll save you time if you're a last minute shopper. Depending on how well you know the bride/groom, like if this is a first or a second marriage... Or... If they've already been out on their own, are other factors to consider when they don't register. When I got married someone got me the most PRACTICAL WEDDING GIFT, that after 20 years I'm still using. It was a Sewing Basket filled with... I thought that was great. I still use the basket along with the other two I've had to buy. Over the years this is what I'd get the bride if she wasn't registered. But I didn't forget the groom. I would fill a bucket with... Unless they requested, I would NEVER give a wedding gift I wouldn't use myself. Another practical wedding gift would be a clothes basket or kitchen trash can filled with cleaning supplies, mop, broom or whatever. With gifts like this you don't have to be concerned with wrapping. Be creative! I promise things like this will be used far more than china or crystal...but those things are nice too. |
