Meaningful Gift Ideas for the Happy Couple for Various Wedding Events
Below we’re sharing some of our favorite meaningful gift ideas for every wedding event.
For The Engagement Party
They’ve just asked one of the most important questions of their lives! Now it’s time for them to bask in that moment and enjoy their engagement! This is the one limited-time period in life when couples get to call one another fiancé/fiancée, after all. So why not celebrate that with all of the custom, commemorative wedding swag they’ve been waiting for the excuse to get!
Customize gifts with the couples’ names, wedding date, “bride,” “groom,” “getting married,” or any other fun sayings. Being celebrated this way will be so exciting for them! When else do you get to wear a sweatshirt with “bride” written on it?! Personalized pre-wedding items definitely make a great gift because it might feel a bit odd to buy a “bride” tee for yourself, ya know? Just don’t go overboard– these items can only truly be enjoyed or used for a limited time.
Some of our favorite Shutterfly engagement party gifts are:
- customizable picture pillows or blankets with photos of the happy couple
- sweatshirts, water bottles, or tumblers featuring Bride or Groom
- personalized planners – great for getting any bride-to-be organized!
For The Wedding Shower
Now that the wedding celebrations have officially begun, there are certain items that can elevate the entire process. Having customized stationery to thank all of your shower or wedding guests is so nice and helpful! This is also a great time to gift those classic kitchen items like monogrammed wine glasses or engraved cutting boards.
Putting together a personalized kitchen-themed gift basket is super simple with the variety of engraved options that Shutterfly provides!
Consider these items for wedding shower gifts:
- personalized stationery + self-inking stamp
- personalized kitchen towels, cutting boards, aprons, or serving dishes
- glassware or wine glasses, with etched monograms, names, or dates
For The Wedding:
Did you know that looking at printed photos of themselves helps spouses feel a stronger connection to their partner? What better reason to make sure the soonlyweds print and hang their wedding photos in their newlywed home!
These days, many couples opt to purchase a drive of digital images from their wedding photographer but may skip the fancy wedding album and print package in order to save money. (A very savvy tip, by the way!) Many couples say that they didn’t make the time or effort to order prints after their wedding. So many beautiful wedding photos sit unprinted on a disc or USB drive, never getting the attention they deserve!
Ensure the happy couple has dedicated funds to *actually* print their wedding photos and hang them in their home by gifting them a Shutterfly gift card!
When they receive their beautiful images back from their wedding photographer, they will be ready to place their order and enjoy decorating their home with love! And since seeing their smiling faces on their wedding day will help deepen their connection, your gift is basically investing in their marital satisfaction– that’s definitely a meaningful wedding gift idea!
How to Make Wedding Gifts More Meaningful
Looking for ideas to make your gift more meaningful? Don’t miss these savvy tips for personalizing wedding gifts!
Personalize it with their name(s)
If the couple are using a singular last name, choose items that can be personalized or engraved with their new last name!
Add a photo
As mentioned before, surrounding yourself with printed photos of you and your significant other leads to increased relationship happiness!
Monogram it
Instead of a full last name, a classic monogram on certain items is chic and timeless and makes a wonderful personalized gift.
Add their wedding date
Take the personalization up a notch and add the couple’s wedding date to commemorate their commitment to one another.
Include a special message
Depending on the product, you might even have room to include a personal message or inscription which would make an even bigger impression!
We hope you love these gift ideas and inspiration for your own big day or for the weddings of any friends you’re attending!
