WEDDING GIFT IDEAS FROM FUNCTIONAL TO FUN
Traditionally, UK couples could expect wedding gifts centered around the home. This is because marriage was historically intertwined with leaving your parents house and into a property of your own. Today, many couples live together long before the wedding day. Therefore they already have all the necessities they need for day-to-day life. If this is the case for you and your betrothed, consider going for more contemporary wedding gift ideas. Think donations towards your honeymoon or fun experiences that you can cherish together. Find inspiration with this list of six great wedding gift ideas from functional to fun!
Soothing Spa Treatments
Although the day itself is one of the most magical and memorable of your life, there is no question that the run up to a wedding can be stressful. It could leave you feeling rundown and exhausted. What better way to de-stress and detox after the wedding than with soothing spa treatments? From a full weekend retreat at one of the UK’s best spas to a one-off couples massage, there are endless options to include on your wedding gift list that will suit all budgets.
Honeymoon Highlights
Instead of having a general pot of money for your honeymoon, why not specify certain elements of the trip for people to sponsor? For example, guests can purchase particular activities or pay towards a stay in a luxury hotel. There are many online platforms that allow you to do this. It will make your friends and family feel as though they have contributed to something tangible.
Couple Classes
One of the most unique wedding gift ideas cropping up in recent years is for guests to contribute towards classes or courses that are on the bucket list for you and your significant other. This can range from language lessons in preparation for the honeymoon to training in unusual skills such as flying. Make your lifelong dreams a reality!
Contemporary Cookware
Even if you have your home largely sorted, chances are you and your other half have not invested much money in your kitchen appliances apart from the obvious essentials. Why not suggest a wish list of cookware that can cover everything from upgraded classic items such as frying pans that are non-stick to the latest cooking technology like air fryers?
Adventurous Activities
Similar to the option of classes, why not ask people to invest in adventurous activities that you can do together to cement your bond? Adrenaline-pumping options like sky diving or bungee jumps will suit thrill-seeking couples. Others may prefer more gentle options that are nonetheless magical such as soaring in a hot air balloon at sunrise.
Close-to-heart Charity
If you feel like you have everything you need, a truly special way to mark your marriage is to choose a charity close to your heart and see how much you can raise. Even if you don’t include this in your wedding gift options, you can always portion off some of the bar proceeds for a donation or have donation boxes scattered around your wedding venue.
