Gift from close friends
Friends are close people of young people. Some of them have gone through many stages of life, and they still remain faithful and reliable people, pleasant interlocutors, and comrades-in-arms.
We suggest using the list to select a gift:
- Household appliances – newlyweds have nothing in common yet, this provides the opportunity for a wide range of gifts. You can donate microwave ovens, multicookers, food processors, etc. You can join together and give one good gift to all your friends. For example, a computer or a refrigerator. Practical things are needed in every home.
- Bed sheets.
- Kitchenware and utensils.
- Porcelain figurine – a large figurine can become an original gift and a symbol of the home. For example, a family can be given an owl as a symbol of wisdom or a snake as a talisman against the evil eye. Don't forget to decipher your gift to the newlyweds.
- Friends are young and energetic people, so you can opt for a memorable and original gift. For example, everyone can dance or sing their favorite song together. This surprise will be remembered for a lifetime.

Gifts for the bride
First of all, you should purchase beautiful bouquets for the bride, her mother and older married sister.
If you have a younger family member, you need to pay attention to him by giving him daisies or chocolates. No matter how old the child is, he should also receive a small present
Perhaps the most important gift will be the engagement ring, which the bride does not remove until the wedding. During the ceremony it is replaced with a wedding one. The decoration is a medium-width gold band with one stone. The price depends on the capabilities. Additionally, you can gift your loved one with a beautiful watch or a gold pendant with a chain.
The mother-in-law should also give her future daughter gifts of gold. Usually they give a chain, pendant, earrings or bracelet. A manifestation of the greatest respect and trust will be a diamond piece of jewelry that is passed down from generation to generation. You can also give perfume, a bag, a beautiful shawl or cosmetics. In some nations, it is customary to give the bride a lot of clothes, shoes and accessories so that she enters the groom’s house in everything new. The same applies to the bride's parents in relation to the son-in-law.
An important attribute of matchmaking is a loaf or a large beautiful cake, symbolizing the future sweet life of the newlyweds. It is carried into the house on a large, beautifully embroidered towel. When the pie is placed on the table, the girl must divide it into pieces and serve it to each guest. You can bake a loaf yourself or buy it in a store. The same applies to the towel. They decorate it with bright inscriptions, hearts, intertwined rings, swans and other symbols of love and fidelity. The embroidered names of the young people look very beautiful.

And I would also like to give you general advice.
You should not give your fiancé's parents too cheap gifts, such as a shower set or kitchen towels - this will not look very nice on your part. It will be much better and more economical to give them a gift that you make for them with your own hands. Any skill you have can come in handy here. You can make your parents homemade original soap, jewelry or souvenirs made of beads, candles, watercolor drawings, you can crochet or knit any items, make porcelain or clay figurines, amulets and other symbolic cute things for the home.
Don't know how to make anything?
– it’s also not a problem, bake a cake for the groom’s parents, and if you are not strong in culinary arts, then just take a cookbook and prepare the simplest sweets.
When presenting gifts to the groom's parents, do not forget about flowers and sweets for mom and a bottle of cognac for dad.
And a dacha to boot
Gift option for newlyweds from parents in the form of an apartment
,
a car
or
a plot of land
is the most valuable, but also the most expensive. Not everyone can afford this, even if they act together. But if the parents chose this gift, the children will be very happy and there will be no need for additional emotions.
Keys to a new house or apartment - rarely will anyone refuse such a gift
What gifts should you not give for a wedding?
According to tradition, some things are considered unlucky gifts; they promise various troubles and misfortunes.
- Natural pearls foretell tears and death of one of the spouses.
- Watches can lead to divorce.
- Sharp, piercing and breaking objects promise quarrels and disagreements.
- Suitcases, bags, purses, wallets and piggy banks should be given with a banknote inserted inside.
- Paired objects alone, this promises separation.
However, if you have already purchased a gift that is on this list, do not rush to give it back. Signs will not be valid if you take a symbolic payment from the newlyweds in exchange for a gift.
