What do you get a couple that has everything? You may not get lucky and receive an invitation with a wedding gift registry or a request for monetary presents. If that is the case, here’s how to pick a great wedding gift:
Budget
Firstly, you should establish a budget. How much would you like to spend on a wedding gift? The amount you decide on will help with what you can get. For example, if you want to spend R500, you obviously wouldn’t look at high-end kitchen tools.
Relationship
How do you know the couple? Is it family, close friends, friends or co-workers? This is important because you’d put more effort into a gift if it was someone close to you.
Know the couple
What do they like? What do they do? For example, do they enjoy cooking, wine, camping, hiking, or traveling? Try to choose something that the couple can both use or do together.
Receipt
We were always told to take the price off a gift before giving it to someone because someone shouldn’t know how much you’ve spent on them. In this case, however, giving the gift along with the receipt is a great idea. For example, if you’ve bought something too small or perhaps the colour is wrong, they have the option of exchanging it.
Ask
You could just simply ask the couple what they’d like or need.
