Wedding Season is Upon Us
Whether you're a bride or groom, a member of the wedding party, or an invited guest, deciding what to give as a gift can feel like an ordeal. After all, you want your gift to be personal, appropriate, and cherished by the recipient. No matter what you gift, give a Date Deck® alongside to help keep the couple's love fresh from the day they say, "I do."
For the Bride
Most likely, you know her style. Hopefully, you can give something she'll love for eternity. Examples include gifts on the registry, a sentimental piece, or something unexpected.
For the Groom
Whether the groom is your future son, family member, or dear friend, give a gift that will have lasting meaning. Suggestions include a gift he selected from the registry, or a gift he'll treasure for years to come.
To Give to the Bridesmaids
Brides-to-be, remember, being a bridesmaid is not a thankless job. Not only are bridesmaids willing to wear (sometimes) matching dresses they'll absolutely never wear again, they're agreeing to pay for them...and everything else that comes along with catering to the bride on her wedding day. Even if you're not a "Bridezilla," it's very important to show appreciation to the women surrounding you on your big day.
To Give to the Groomsmen
Participating in a wedding as a groomsman is also a lot of responsibility. This responsibility comes with expenses, time-off from work, travel on occasion, and more. As a groom, it's important to show appreciation to those who have rearranged their schedules and tightened spending to be there for your special day. No matter the size of the wedding party, or the budget you've set aside, choose something that truly offers thanks.
For the Couple
Most couples typically have a wedding registry, with items they've personally selected for their home together. This makes choosing a gift fairly easy. However, more and more modern couples are tossing tradition aside and opting to wed in ways that bend the "rules." Maybe they already share a home and have chosen to avoid the pomp and circumstance, and simply elope. Maybe they're doing a destination wedding, and prefer that friends and family contribute to their marriage through experience registries. There are many websites that offer this gift of adventure.
Either way, as someone close to the bride or groom, you'll probably want your gift to stand out. For that reason, a Date Deck® as a simple add-on will do the trick.
