Traditional gifts
If we turn to traditions, then one of the gifts to a daughter-bride from her parents can be considered a dowry. However, to be fair, this is not so much a gift as a contribution to the as yet unsettled life of the young. They began to prepare a dowry from the time when the bride was still a girl. Family jewelry, table and bed linen, pieces of elegant fabric, dishes, and cutlery were placed in the treasured dowry chest.
You can also present the same items to current brides to make it easier for her to arrange her family nest. Today there is no need to save up a dowry, since everything you need can be easily bought in one day. At the same time, it is important to focus on your daughter’s tastes and ask her about how she sees her and her husband’s home. Even better is to go choose a dowry with the bride.
In ancient families, especially wealthy ones, on the day of marriage or the day before, the mother gave the family jewel to her daughter. If you have one, give it to her. As an option, you can give some of your own jewelry, which has not so much a high material value, but a great sacred meaning. As a last resort, you can purchase a new piece of jewelry, bequeathing it to your daughter to make it a family item.
It is better to present such a wedding gift to a daughter from her mother one-on-one, accompanied by instructions that will help in family life. You can go with your daughter for a walk, to the spa, or just cook a homemade holiday dinner. The goal here is not just to convey the jewelry, but to keep it secret and bless.
Instead of jewelry, if the family is a believer, you can give a prayer book or a corresponding icon to the home of the newlyweds so that it will protect the newly-made family. But you cannot give your own pectoral cross: it is believed that this way you can convey your destiny.
Instead of family jewelry from father and mother, you can present gold and silver coins , which depict wedding scenes and motifs - it will be symbolic. Coins can also be passed on to the next generation, and their value will increase.
Family heirlooms and jewelry
If a family has beautiful family heirlooms, for example, icons, paintings, precious necklaces, rings or earrings, then they must pass on to their daughter. Now she has the opportunity to preserve and appreciate the family heirloom that was given to her. If there is no such tradition in the family, then it can be created. This gift will be a special unique symbol of the new unit of society.
Nowadays you can buy beautiful paintings made of amber in antique stores, or buy beautiful jewelry made of precious metals and stones in jewelry stores.
Modern gifts
Even if you are not going to follow traditions, you should give your daughter-bride something that will help her in family life, will be useful, or will remind her of her parents.
If funds allow, it’s time to give the girl an apartment, a cottage or a car. This will turn out to be a good present not only from a practical point of view (a young family can immediately celebrate a housewarming party or use a donated car), but also from a legal point of view. Since the gift was received outside of marriage, the spouse will not officially be able to claim it. Of course, you shouldn't talk about such details to your daughter, but at the same time, your parent's heart will be at peace.
A good gift is household appliances, and it is better if they are units that make women’s work easier: a multicooker, a vacuum cleaner, a dishwasher, etc.
It is difficult to consider a set of bed linen as a gift for a daughter getting married. At the same time, this is a necessary present for a married couple. Get out of this situation by adding a beautiful negligee for your daughter or a certificate to a lingerie store to complement your bedding set.
A good gift option is a set of dishes, but let it be a large and expensive set that can be used during the holidays. A set of cutlery, for example, made of silver, with engraving, would also be suitable. You can put the names or initials of the newlyweds and their wedding date on the devices.
Practical options
Gifts to newlyweds from parents usually stand out in their scale compared to other gifts, and are often agreed upon in advance with both the newlyweds and the parents of the second spouse. The most expensive and practical things are, of course, a car or your own living space, but not all parents have such an opportunity, and most families give less expensive, but no less necessary and interesting gifts to the newlyweds. So, the most common gift is cash. Despite its banality and prosaicness, it is money that is so necessary for a young family; it helps them arrange their life at the initial stage.
Another way of presenting money will require some labor and time, but it is quite original and unusual. Parents first exchange the entire amount at the bank for gold coins and fill a clay flower pot with them, which is also wrapped in wrapping paper and decorated with a bow. After the celebration, the young people, at their discretion, will be able to either exchange coins for banknotes, or will keep the donated funds in gold equivalent. The next method of presenting money is considered the most exotic of all existing ones and consists of exchanging the prepared amount for the currencies of different countries. After that, a large student globe or globe bar is purchased, to which paper bills are attached, taking into account their belonging to a particular country.
Often, the parents of the bride and groom discuss this point in advance and contribute equal amounts to the gift. The price of the issue depends entirely on the financial capabilities of each party and usually ranges from 20 to 100 thousand rubles. Giving money to young people can be an interesting play. The most common option is to create a money cake, when bills are rolled into tubes and connected to each other using thin rubber bands. Then the “structure” is wrapped in beautiful transparent paper and tied with a large bow.
And finally, the simplest, but no less original way of presenting money would be to purchase two paired piggy banks (for example, in the shape of a cat and a cat) and fill them to the top with ten-ruble coins. Usually such gifts are received with a bang and create a real sensation. To ensure that, due to their youth, the couple does not thoughtlessly spend the donated money on all sorts of unnecessary things, you can open a deposit in a bank for a period of one to several years. This approach is the most pragmatic and allows you to increase the amount during the period that it will be under interest.
In addition to cash, the most useful and practical gifts are household appliances and furniture. However, when choosing them, it is necessary to take into account that the gift is given to both spouses, which means that both will have to use it. Therefore, a leather office chair or a food processor will not be suitable as a wedding present. But a microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, personal computer, fireplace or TV will come in very handy. If the children already have their own home, then an air conditioner or a built-in kitchen would be a good gift.

Cool gifts for the bride for her wedding
For every girl, a wedding is not just a step into a new life, but the culmination of her girlish dreams.
It is the bride who is the queen of the holiday.
On this day her main dream came true. And everything speaks about happiness: a radiant look, a beautiful outfit, and an elevated mood.
What awaits her in her new life together? You can cheerfully give parting words to your new wife with humorous and cool gifts.
A common gift is a rolling pin. Of course, guests do not give this item so that the young wife can learn how to bake pies. They give symbolic meaning to common kitchen utensils. This “regulator of family relationships” is also suitable as a “cure for a mistress” if you hand over a large rolling pin, or as a “super fine”. The spikes will give it a terrifying look.
A cookbook would be a good gift. Let the woman try to surprise her young husband every day with new culinary masterpieces.
A broom will also come in handy. A broom is given to the wife so that she remembers the order in the house and comfort. A broom can be interestingly presented as a warranty card for a vacuum cleaner. Such an assistant will always be at work, even when there is no electricity.
To maintain order, you can also give soap, both ready-made and handmade.
Various certificates are played out in a fun way. Based on such documents, the bride receives unlimited rights to cook and clean. Now she is allowed to kiss her husband and even watch football with him on weekends.
A saw will also come in handy - a toy, souvenir or even a real one. After all, what is family life without a saw?
An unusual bouquet can be used as an original gift for the bride. Everyone will give flower bouquets, and you will have an exclusive – sweet one. It can be made from candies. Fruit bouquets look original.
Comic and funny wedding day gifts for the groom
For a young man, a wedding is no less important moment in life. His status has changed. And now he is no longer the joker and merry fellow, but the husband is the support for the young family. It is he who is assigned the role of a rock in family life, which is obliged to protect from all kinds of troubles.
Therefore, gifts for the groom, even if they are comic, should have a special meaning. Give an original certificate, according to which the young husband has the right to give flowers to his wife, and, if desired, every day. And be sure to kiss and bring coffee in bed in the morning. A separate document legitimizes the right to clean up and remove garbage. The comic presentation of such gifts at a wedding can be played up with beautiful stories.
For the family breadwinner, cool wedding gifts with items are suitable.
Give a bow and arrow as a suggestive gift. Let the young man learn to bring home rich spoils.
A home defender will need a shield with a sword, as well as a heroic helmet. He must now be able to withstand any attacks from the outside.
And as a guide for a still inexperienced owner, a book on home repairs is suitable. Let the man understand his responsibilities well.
So that the husband does not get angry with his chosen one, especially when he discovers unsewn buttons on a shirt, he is given a set of pins. They will come in handy in family life.
Give a man a license, but an unusual one, and one that opens up a new category for the right to drive a stroller.
To store your family budget, give your guy a cool wallet. But the various miniature safes and piggy banks look even more interesting. Especially double piggy banks, where there are two compartments: for the wife and for the husband. However, all savings must go to the wife’s department.
And so that he doesn’t forget that he’s now a married man, give him a T-shirt with the inscription: “busy.” And there are special items for it so that you don’t go to the left.
