Most often, friends expect some kind of cool gift. Depending on the level of the newlyweds’ ability to perceive jokes normally, you can get a surprise wedding gift from friends, such as a cartoon or a kindly parody. Or you can go even further and organize a full-fledged prank. Just be sure to keep in mind that on the wedding day the newlyweds already have a heightened emotional background, so their reaction to any non-standard situation will not be entirely adequate. The theme of the draw should be as kind and romantic as possible.

2. A good joke for a wedding from friends - hen or stag party. They should be the organizers of this cool event, showing maximum creativity, humor and originality.
3. A set for a young wife (rolling pin, frying pan, saw, etc.) or a young spouse (beer mug, bath broom, etc.) can also be a cool gift.
4. An interesting option is the “Anti-stress” set. This could be a set of plates with the inscriptions “Got it!”, “I’m not a housekeeper!”, “Pick up your socks!” etc. For my husband, a game of darts is suitable, in which the target does not have numbers, but corresponding inscriptions (price ranges from 900 to 1400 rubles).

Romantic gifts for the bride from the groom

By choosing the best photos together, a young man can create a colorful film or slide show that reveals the love story of the bride and groom. The video can be supplemented with remarks from SMS correspondence or online communication, revealing the feelings of lovers.
A beautiful declaration of love, written in poetic form, will be a pleasant surprise for the hero of the occasion.
A gift to the bride from the groom on her wedding day can also be a collage of joint photographs placed in the form of some kind of drawing. For example, “write” the word LOVE or your wedding date on the poster.
Elegant figurine with engraving
A figurine depicting two lovers, on which the girl’s name and a declaration of love will be emblazoned, will become clear proof of the sincerity of the young spouse’s feelings.
If you want to truly surprise your significant other, present her with a mini-copy of you and her in the form of a figurine made from a photograph.
Paired souvenirs
T-shirts, cups, pendants, key chains and even slippers - all these ordinary objects can shine with all the colors of romance, reminding your wife every day of the feelings of her beloved.
For romantic walks, it is appropriate to give the lady of your heart a twin umbrella for two or a set of three mittens.
Luxurious bouquet of flowers
Flowers are a universal gift for a beloved woman, speaking about her irresistibility and exclusivity.
A chic bouquet of the bride’s favorite flowers, solemnly presented before going to the registry office, will charge the girl with positivity for the whole day. Don’t forget to include a beautiful postcard in the bouquet with a declaration of love and a promise to give such bouquets often.
Bouquet of balloons
Another option for a wedding gift for the bride is multi-colored balloons, painted with hearts and painted with compliments.
An original way to surprise the hero of the occasion after a wedding banquet is to bring her to a room filled with helium balloons, with mini-cards with declarations of love attached to the ribbons.
Box “One Hundred Reasons for My Love for You”
This cute romantic souvenir is one of the best gifts for the bride from the groom, because it will become a daily reminder to the young wife of her husband’s feelings
.
Give your loved one a hand-decorated box with notes in the shape of hearts or mini-bundles with parting words to start her day by reading one of the hundred messages.
Comic documents and awards
As a memorable souvenir, you can present your beloved with an Oscar statuette, a cup or a diploma with the inscription “For first place in my heart” or “For winning my heart.”
The groom can also give his beloved a power of attorney to own his heart and an oath of a real husband with family obligations, which is sealed with the signature of the hero of the occasion.
Three tape recorders, three foreign movie cameras...
TV will never hurt them
, no spacious
refrigerator
, no
washing machine
or
dishwasher
. These are expensive household appliances that will be an excellent wedding gift from caring parents. But you need to know in advance what exactly the future family needs, otherwise, the newlyweds may leave the wedding with several sets of saucepans or two refrigerators. It will be better if the bride and groom themselves ask their parents for one or another household item, simplifying the task of choosing a gift.
When buying equipment as a gift, make sure the couple doesn’t already have one
What not to give for a wedding
The most important thing is not to give something that will not be in demand. The gift must be needed by the young family in the near future.
It may happen that you give the newlyweds
a smokehouse for their dacha , but not only do they not have a dacha, they don’t even plan to buy one in the near future.
Such a gift runs the risk of being given away or being stored for a long time on the mezzanine until it is forgotten.
Older people find it useful to give something that they once did not have.
In their opinion, this will please the newlyweds the most:
- porcelain sets,
- vacuum cleaners,
- colorful carpets.
Now this is not so relevant, but it is better to give something that the young people will need on the farm.
Also, you should not give gifts intended for either the bride or groom.
For example, women's jewelry, men's cufflinks, decorative cosmetics or a fishing rod .
The gift should be intended for a young family. Most often, gifts are given to one party when relatives or friends of the bride do not know the groom and vice versa.
Dishes and household appliances are good gifts.
However, you need to find out in advance whether anyone else plans to give similar things, so that the results of the wedding do not turn out to be the following gifts to the newlyweds:
- 5 tea sets,
- 2 microwaves,
- 4 blenders.
Funny congratulations and comic gifts for the bride
Vacuum cleaner with warranty
This is a cool addition to the main gift (if you want to present a vacuum cleaner to young people). Give the bride a small box containing a guarantee for the vacuum cleaner, namely a broom tied with a bright ribbon.
Explain to the future housewife that a broom will always save the situation if the electricity goes out while cleaning.
The key to family happiness
This comic souvenir will become a real family heirloom.
Present a luxurious carved key with a personalized engraving and include a fun instruction manual. Be sure to note the shelf life of the product - at least until the golden wedding.
Necessary items for family life
You can present your young wife with a saw with the engraving “The best remedy for your husband’s dissatisfaction” or a rolling pin with a similar inscription.
In order for family life to be filled only with positive things, it is appropriate to give the bride rose-colored glasses, and the symbol of wealth will be a “shovel with which to shovel money” - a children’s scoop covered with coins.
If a young family lives with their parents, give the bride slippers with bells, adding the parting words to the gift: “So that you don’t wake up your mother-in-law and walk on tiptoe.”
An ordinary basin would be an interesting gift for the bride from her mother-in-law - when giving it, you need to list all the advantages and functionality of this irreplaceable item in the household:
- You can also wash in it;
- and wash;
- and wash the floors;
- prepare Olivier for the New Year;
- and ride down the mountain in winter.
You can also give serious gifts with humorous comments. For example, when giving the newlyweds a fan or air conditioner, say that without them the spouses will be too hot from love.
Wedding Harvest
Using the principle of versification, you can present the bride and groom with a basket of fruits and vegetables, coming up with a purpose for each product. For example, “We give carrots so that the bride will love her mother-in-law” or “We give cabbage so that there is plenty in the wallet.”
Cool documents and awards
An excellent option for a creative gift for the bride could be a certificate of quality, which contains all the evidence that the bride is ready to move to the next level of wife.
In addition, you can give your future spouse a certificate with grades for completing courses in preparation for family life, and attach a driver’s license to drive a stroller.
An interesting idea is to present the hero of the occasion with a “Technical passport of the bride”, in which all the necessary “characteristics” should be indicated in a comic form:
- complete set;
- functionality (caring for husband and self-care);
- precautionary measures;
- warranty obligations.
Wedding gifts are not only financial assistance in creating a family home, but also vivid emotions and impressions, funny jokes, memorable souvenirs and valuable family heirlooms
, which begin the countdown of a new period in the life of a young couple.
