How to Select the Perfect Wedding Gift

Whether you're planning a wedding or attending one, gift-giving plays an important role in the wedding day. Following are some guidelines to help answer your questions on gift selection, presentation, and other important considerations in the gift-giving process.

Gifts from Wedding Guests

If you've been invited to a wedding, you're probably wondering what to do about the gift? Most couples planning a wedding will register themselves with a local department store, where you can purchase flatware, china, linens, or other like gifts that were pre-selected. This often simplifies the task for troubled buyers. However, for those seeking a more unique gift, the process becomes a little more complicated. Fortunately, these days, there are many sites (such as Zampiva.com) that offer unique wedding gifts for purchase online, and will package, gift-wrap, and ship the gifts for you, including a card with a specialized message, simplifying the gift buying process.

Gifts from the Couple

  • Bride and Groom: It's a long-time tradition for the bride and groom to give eachother gifts. Although not necessarily a large or expensive gift, this should be a lasting, thoughtful reminder of your commitment to eachother. If you're looking for ideas, consider things such as a poem, an elegant desk clock, a picture frame, or a collectible. Zampiva collectibles make wonderful such gifts.
  • Parents: A more recent tradition is to give parents a gift expressing gratitude for all they've done to get the couple to this point. Consider a framed photo from the wedding or a letter of thanks.
  • Bridesmaids: These women are your friends. More importantly, they have gone to great length to make your wedding a success: throwing parties, planning, and helping with the details. They deserve a small token of thanks for all the effort they've put into the wedding. Typical gifts are flower vases, photo frames, spa certificates, crystal items, gift baskets, collectibles, or clocks.
  • Groomsmen: Groomsmen are typically given a small gift of gratitude for their part in the wedding. Desk clocks, business card holders, watches, pen sets.
