Great Wedding Gifts and Keepsakes
Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
When one of your friends or family members gets married, your wedding gift should reflect the excitement of the occasion as well as your affection and fondness for the couple. A personalized wedding keepsake can make a wonderful gift that the happy couple will display in their home or use often, bringing joyous memories of their special day. When choosing a type of wedding keepsake that the newlyweds will cherish forever, it is important to consider the many different types of presents that are available.
Photo Albums and Personalized Photo Frames
A picture is worth a thousand words, and there is no better gift that will preserve the memory of a wedding than a photo album or picture frame. A wedding photo album can be a very special gift giving you the option of adding photos for the couple, or giving them an empty album to fill with their own favorite memories. You will find many different styles of wedding photo albums to choose from, including many that are designed to be put on display in the couples’ new home. A beautifully embellished fabric covered album personalized with embroidered names and the wedding date is a gift that is sure to be treasured for years.
Instead of a photo album, you might choose a personalized picture frame for them to hang on the wall of the couple’s new home. There is a wide variety of styles to choose from, so you can easily find a wedding photo frame that suits the recipients’ distinctive decorating style. While most personalized photo frames are designed to display an 8×10 wedding portrait, there are many other options available as well. A wedding collage picture frame that is designed to display snapshots from the ceremony and reception, or a honeymoon frame fitted with a die-cut mat spelling out the word “Honeymoon,” are two alternatives to uniquely display cherished photos.
Heirloom Wedding Keepsakes
Some wedding keepsakes are destined to become family heirlooms. Imagine the delight of the bride and groom who receive a wedding quilt personalized with photographs from their wedding, or a classic Wedding Ring patterned quilt embroidered with their names and the date on which they tied the knot. Other heirloom quality wedding keepsakes you might consider are a crystal wedding clocks engraved with the names of the bride and groom and a special message, or a granite plaque laser-engraved with their favorite wedding photo.
For the bride and groom who take great pride in their heritage, consider a Family Name Wedding Plaque that displays each of their family coats of arms and family name history side by side in an heirloom quality frame. This can be a very special gift that represents the joining of two lineages in the process of creating a new dynasty.
Wedding Ornaments
Another way to give a lasting memoir of the couple’s special day is to give the newlyweds a specialty Christmas ornament to hang on their tree year after year. Among the cutest wedding ornaments available are those that allow you to include the entire wedding party in whimsical “Character Figures”, each labeled with the name of the bridesmaid, usher or wedding party member it is meant to represent. A more traditional wedding couple might appreciate an acrylic holiday wedding bell engraved with their names and the date of their wedding. These can also make great wedding favors!
Wedding Clocks
A time-honored tradition in wedding gifts is the clock. With vast array of styles available, you can easily find a wedding clock that suits the personal style of the newlyweds. Choose a painted slate clock personalized with hearts, flowers and the happy couple’s names, or a more distinctive and elegant vinyl wall clock printed with their name and the year they were married.
Wedding Platters and Plaques
Another traditional wedding gift that is still in fashion is the wedding platter. Designed to be hung on a wall or displayed on an easel, wedding platters come in many different styles and types. You might choose a romantic white “From This Day Forward” wedding platter painted with a wedding cake and the couple’s personal details, or a more ornate pewter wedding platter imprinted with a sculpted wedding scene. For a truly quirky gift that will continuously bring smiles to faces, choose a Wedding Character platter printed with figures representing the entire wedding party!
Wedding Keepsake Novelties
If you are looking for something special to give as a commemorative gift that the couple will remember forever, try looking for an inexpensive personalized wedding novelty. Options can include decks of playing cards printed with a smiling bride and groom and the names of the happy couple or other novelties and notions such as bride and groom coffee mugs, t-shirts and baseball caps all personalized with any special message that you choose to include.
