What to give to adult (44 years old) newlyweds for a wedding?
The situation is not simple - my uncle is getting married.
The newlyweds are 44 years old. They are wealthy and fastidious. These are accomplished people who don’t need coffee sets and the like. They don’t like extreme sports, so entertainment of this kind is not suitable. Giving money is also not an option. The thought came to mind about a picture depicting the place (city) where they met. Our friends ordered such a painting as a gift for a very picky grandfather. The painting depicted Sevastopol - the place where grandfather studied as a sailor in his youth. Grandfather was very happy with the gift, he even shed tears. If that’s not an option, maybe my proposal will prompt some other thoughts.
No matter how old the newlyweds are, they are still considered newlyweds)))
Give them a couple of loving parrots in a gilded cage. A male and a female. And hang rings on their paws. It will look very symbolic and funny.
So, my uncle writes poetry. And if you give the newlyweds a high-quality book of his uncle’s poems. True, I have no idea how much money is needed for this. Do not issue an edition, but only one gift copy.
Haven’t tried to ask directly - what if they tell you what they want?
It’s strange that you don’t even know what you can do to please your UNCLE. It’s hard to advise you something without having information about what interests your newlyweds in life. About security - most of my friends have everything they need for life and every time I have to guess what to give (but I come up with it and give it!). But to do this you need to know people and have at least a little idea about their interests.
My advice is that if people are wealthy, nothing will surprise them and gift certificates (for example to a spa, a restaurant for a romantic) are not an option for you as a gift, but for creative skills (to sing a song for them, record it in the studio and give it to them) if it’s not enough, then come up with a good congratulation, from the heart, with meaning, and give a bouquet of sweets (I hope there are such craftsmen in your city).
Here are examples of such bouquets, their price is 4-7 thousand (depending on the complexity of the composition, quantity and high cost of sweets). Whether to admire or quietly eat this gift is up to the newlyweds to decide.
Let's make your face glow
The happiness of getting married soon will make your face glow. And a good makeup artist will help him with this. The master will make your face matte, remove bags and bruises under the eyes. Wedding makeup should be exciting. Highlight your beautiful happy eyes, make your cheeks rosy with blush and use bright and luscious lipstick.

Top 15 original wedding gifts
The tradition of giving wedding gifts to newlyweds was known back in Rus'. It has the same origins as the preparation of a dowry by the bride and the ransom by the groom. It is connected with the fact that a young family is starting their life together from scratch and, to help them improve their everyday life, their relatives and friends give them things necessary for furnishing a home for their wedding. Along with the newlyweds, gifts were also given to their parents. This happened on the second day of the wedding. The groom gave gifts to his mother-in-law and father-in-law, and the bride gave gifts to her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Currently, this ritual of gifting occurs on the first day of the wedding. This is due to the fact that the tradition of celebrating a wedding for several days is no longer observed by everyone.
Choosing a dress for a real lady
I would like to pay special attention to the topic of choosing a wedding dress. If at 20 years old a girl is just a princess, then at 40 she is a real queen. And the dress should emphasize your majesty, femininity and grace, even if your size is truly royal.

How to choose a wedding gift
A gift for a wedding day is chosen taking into account signs and traditions. They prohibit giving piercing and cutting objects as gifts for celebrations. Forks and knives contain the energy of aggression and can bring discord and quarrels into the house. It is also not recommended to give antiques and paintings. They bring with them the energy of a stranger into the family. Family heirlooms can be given to the bride and groom only on the eve of the wedding, as well as icons, which must be illuminated in the church before being presented to the newlyweds. You need to be very careful when choosing mirrors, jewelry, watches and towels as gifts. All these items can bring discord into the family.
The main condition for choosing a gift is sincerity. It must be given from the heart and carry the energy of positive emotions.
“Married in white only for the first time”
This superstition or rule has existed for a long time, and is popular in society to this day, especially in the CIS countries and those close to them. Traditional concepts of a wedding and its sacred meaning almost prohibit wearing a white dress for the second or third time. For example, in Europe and the USA such a concept is not widespread, but weddings there are completely different. Take the same Angelina Jolie - long over forty and at a new wedding not only in a white dress, but also with a veil (which is a symbol of the purity and purity of the bride). Our situation is completely different, and there is a risk of catching a sideways glance from any person who understands the intricacies of a Slavic wedding and its traditions.
So, how can a modern woman over 45 dress to look elegant and not raise unnecessary questions from guests?
Top original gifts
1. A traditional solution can refresh the original presentation of a gift. A good and, most importantly, very necessary gift for a young family can be an original cake made in the form of a hut, in which the keys to an apartment or house are hidden in the sponge cake. The same gift giving can be done with car keys, replacing the concept of the cake form from a hut to a Ferrari. In terms of cost, relevance and necessity for young people, such a gift can be placed at the top of the gift rating.

2. Second place can be given to a romantic trip to a desert island or simply to a very picturesque, exotic and secluded corner. You shouldn't give cruise tickets to young people. Sea motion and even a light storm can become a real nightmare for lovers.
A great gift - a trip to a romantic and picturesque place for two
3. Wedding gifts for newlyweds have always carried a certain meaning or a hint. Most often, the bride and groom were made to understand that their grandparents were expecting grandchildren from them. In third place you can put such an original wedding gift as a sheet for Kama Sutra classes, a pacifier, booties or baby onesies. It is better to pack these things according to the matryoshka principle. Young couples have to unwrap the gift for a long time to get to the contents.

4. The fourth place can be given to the glass “family jar”. It’s easy to buy a transparent piggy bank at a souvenir shop or make one yourself. Anyone can make such a piggy bank with their own hands. An ordinary glass jar is rolled up with a lid in which a slot is made. Banknotes dropped into it can become the initial capital for building a family nest.
Wedding banquet
Having ordered a banquet at your favorite establishment, invite your relatives, friends and acquaintances to celebrate a significant event in your life. If there are a lot of guests, you should put aside your embarrassment and invite the host. He will create an interesting, calm program that will be of interest to both the married couple and invited guests.

The most original wedding gift
Having decided to give the newlyweds something original and unforgettable, you don’t need to rack your brains for a long time about what it could be. Give the young people your friendly love, sincerity and respect. But the most important original wedding gift is the wedding itself. Make this day unforgettable for the bride and groom, fill it with jokes, jokes, toasts and wishes.
A good toastmaster, a beautifully set table, cheerful, good-natured guests - what could be better? Don't forget about rituals and traditions. They are what distinguish this day from simple festive banquets.
Of particular importance is the place chosen for the celebration and the style of the wedding ceremony. There are many options for holding such an event.
It is increasingly common to hold wedding celebrations in ancient estates, outdoors in cozy tents. Original ceremonies include them being held under water and in the air. As before, champagne is drunk from the bride's shoe, a ransom is demanded from the groom, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law ride in a carriage as gypsies.

The most widely known option for a wedding dress are pastel shades. As the experience of registry offices shows, they are chosen by almost half of the women who get married in adulthood. The main advantage of pastel colors is the calm and balance of the color palette:
- Ivory (ivory);

The dresses themselves can be fishtail style with a flared hem or cocktail style. Modest, stylish and tasteful - is there anything else a bride needs?
