Wedding giftsNo one questions the fact that every gift received in his or her wedding day is something special and surely offered with all the soul, but every day each of us wants something in particular. No matter on the amount of money that you have in your disposal, your choice has to be something special- useful and memorable. These gifts have to be something useful and adaptable to the couple’s character. And as their first thought is the choice that you have to make to someone that is really special, that enchants both and that brings joy in their souls you have to take into account ideas as origin...

The Wedding GiftsPoinsettia Dude & I have been talking about gifts to each other for our wedding and yesterday during date night he was trying so hard to be subtle when he nonchalantly asked about the kind of purse I have been lusting for! I knew right away that he was trying to get ideas for my bridal gift. I nicely explained that I really want the Louis Vuitton Speedy30 bag BUT it is something I want to buy. I have a great job and there is no reason I am not able to purchase something nice and luxurious for myself once we are finished paying for our nuptials in September. Just having him at the alter...

Wedding presents ended up being suuuuper fun to get :-) The first couple we opened, I remember feeling so awkward about - you know, rough economy, and our friends and fam spending their hard earned cash to buy us treats? I got over it pretty quick - because it was a riot! We had plates to eat from! Glasses to drink from! Cookie sheets! Bath towels! And we were even able to purchase a kitchen table with the money we were given. (Which was a good thing because we didn't have any furniture! We didn't have anything actually.) We also we...

Fun wedding gift: The SlanketFiled under: Gifts and RegistriesI love few things more than the feeling of bundling myself up in a big, warm blanket. Pajamas and bathrobes are nice, I guess, but really they're a distant second to a nice blanket. It's just not the same. But as someone who lives her life with a laptop, I'm forced to make a choice between that snuggly blanket feeling, but chilly arms, and warm arms in long sleeved pajamas, forgoing the blanket. Okay, so it's not one of life's greatest dilemmas -- but it's enough of a concern that I still really, really want one of these. It looks so cozy! Among things I didn't...

Creative wedding gift: LovopolyFiled under: Gifts and Registries, Do-It-Yourself, Keeping the Memory, EngagementOne wedding gift I like to give is collector's edition board games. I like to give gifts that remind the couple that marriage is fun, and maybe give them something to do on their honeymoon -- you know, if they get bored of all the, uh, other stuff.When I found out about Lovopoly (based on the game Monopoly), I immediately thought it would make a perfect wedding or engagement gift. You can personalize the game board with pictures of the couple, and you rename the properties based on the couple's favorite hangouts...

Wedding Gifts 101It’s been a while since we’ve talked about that white elephant in the room, wedding gifts. I know the thought causes an amazing range of emotions from absolute joy to abject terror to… well… whatever it happens to stir up in you. Some people think gifts are the best part of getting married, while others would rather discuss having public rectal surgery than consider the possibility of more stuff in their lives. Honestly, I don’t care which camp you’re in or whether you’re somewhere in between. This is not my concern. After all, I did my thing. It’s done. This isn’t about how...

Savvy Wedding Gift Tips!No matter how organized you are, every wedding will ensue a slight bit of chaos. And on the day or evening of your wedding, you shouldn’t have to worry about trying to keep track of anything, including wedding gifts. Here are my tips for keeping gifts orderly, which you will appreciate much more later on when writing thank you notes! Assign one or two people to watch over the gifts. Make sure you have two very responsible people keeping tabs on the gifts, starting at your ceremony location and ending at your reception. If someone hands you a gift, be sure to pass it on to one of your two k...

Great wedding gift: SavingsFiled under: Gifts and RegistriesProbably the most popular wedding gift, and likely the most appreciated, is cold hard cash. You could write the couple a check and be sure they'll spend it on something they want or need, and you don't have to spend any time browsing the home furnishings section at a crowded department store. Or you can write the same check, only set it up a little differently, as a slightly different spin on this classic gift. Why not purchase some kind of investment or savings plan for the couple? Check with your bank about opening a certificate of deposit in their name, ...

Wedding Gift EtiquetteWhat is your first reaction upon receiving a wedding invitation in the mail? Usually it is something like, “Oh great! Can’t wait!” And this is quickly followed by, “Oh boy.
