4 top tips for creating the perfect wedding gift list

4 top tips for creating the perfect wedding gift list www.redeventweddingfayres.com REWF image 2.jpg

Hoping to receive wedding presents that you can  treasure forever? In this article, Hayley Baddiley from the homeware and ceramics brand Denby shares her tips for choosing the perfect wedding gifts for your registry. 

After a long and challenging year for couples looking to tie the knot, their prospects are finally on the up. With the recent easing of restrictions, future brides and grooms can make up for lost time and have the big wedding that they've dreamed of. If you and your partner are part of the predicted wedding boom and looking to tie the knot, congratulations!

There are so many details to organise with weddings, it can be hard to keep track. But one of the most fun things to plan by far is the wedding gift list. That being said, it can sometimes be hard to decide on the perfect gifts. If you're in need of some inspiration, consider the following tips.

Opt for products that will get a lot of use

 Consider how often you will use each item on your gift list and think about how it will fit into your life. Try to choose items that you will want to have out on display and get lots of use out of. To make sure that you use your wedding gifts, opt for versatile products.

Cookware is a great option, as it's practical and will be used all the time. Plus, good quality cookware really pays for itself, as it's so high quality, which means it will last for years. You could also opt for some serveware. Platters and cake stands are a great option, as they can be used for desserts, afternoon tea, and you can even decorate them to use as a table centerpiece.

Choose presents that will last

One of the best things about receiving wedding gifts is looking back at them in the years to come, thinking of your guests and reminiscing about your special day. That's why it's important to choose wedding gifts that can last a lifetime. When curating your registry, it's a good idea to put emphasis on quality over quantity, to improve the chances of your gifts lasting.

High-quality dinnerware sets are great wedding presents, as they're both practical and durable. Other popular, long-lasting wedding gifts include serveware, such as gravy boats and sugar bowls, and food preparation products such as sturdy chopping boards.

Go for personalized accessories

There is something so heartwarming about getting something that you could use on a personal level. You could get appliances and larger items, but accessories are also a great option. 

For example, you and your partner are iPhone users. Why not ask for customized iPhone cases? You could buy cheaper cases, but there is always beauty in customized gifts.

If you’re going to ask for customized items, you should take the personality of your partner and even your shared hobbies into consideration. You should also make sure that the designs you choose are both classy and eye-catching.

Make your registry budget-friendly

Weddings can be expensive for the bride and groom, but they can be pricey for guests too. New formal wear, transport, accommodation and a special wedding gift — these costs all add up. 

That's why it's important to make sure that your registry offers some more affordable options too. Home accessories including coasters and placemats are great budget options, that are both decorative and practical. This also allows the guests to be a bit creative, and choose the design that they think fits the pair of you perfectly.

Ask for meaningful gifts

Traditional wedding gifts, such as crystal, silverware, and small household appliances, are good additions to any wedding registry. But they aren't always the most personal option for your guests. The people who know you best may want to opt for a more meaningful gift, so make sure to add these to the registry. This gift can be whatever you want, as long as it has meaning to you as a couple.

For example, if you first met at a coffee shop, a luxurious cafetiere is a great gift that's both meaningful and practical. And don't be afraid to think outside the box and opt for less traditional presents too. As long as you love it and will use it, that's all that matters.

Using the tips above will help you create a wedding gift list that's both luxurious and practical. And if you're looking for help planning your big day, make sure to check out the services offered by Red Wedding Event Fayres!
