Bed linen is an important attribute of married life. No one ever argues about whether it should be in the house. Of course it should! But if previously, huge chests with a dowry were prepared in advance for brides, which certainly contained what the young spouses had to lay on the bed, now there is no such tradition.
And often a young family has to think about such little things on their own, immediately after the wedding rushing to the shops to buy everything they need, including bedding. In Soviet times, wise mothers also put aside things they needed in everyday life for their daughters’ weddings. But, of course, modest Soviet, often hand-sewn, pillowcases and duvet covers cannot compare with modern gift sets. Although especially handy mothers and grandmothers decorated such gifts with intricate embroidery and even handmade lace. What do the signs say about this? Is it worth giving such things to young people?

What do signs say about bedding as a gift?
Today, stores have a huge selection of luxury bedding sets. And guests, getting ready for a celebration, wanting to give a present to the young family, involuntarily look into such departments. But is it worth giving bed linen for a wedding? Signs say that you need to refrain from making such a choice. Why? Oddly enough, for some reason some people believe that the number of such gifts will correspond to the number of mistresses the young spouse will have in the future. However, let's turn to reality. Whatever one may say, if a person does not have great feelings for his soul mate, he can have an affair on the side, regardless of whether sets of clothes for pillows and blankets were given for the celebration. And vice versa - even if there were a lot of duvet covers and sheets among the gifts, and the young people love each other deeply, no signs will immediately destroy their marriage.
So is it possible to give bed linen as a gift for a wedding? It all depends on how superstitious your heroes of the occasion are. And if they are superstitious, it’s worth thinking about whether they doubt each other before they even start living together? As a rule, such relationships are not strong, and gifts have no meaning here.

Sunday, September 18, 2011 06:09 + to quote book Despite the fact that now the first wedding night has become almost a formal concept, every bride dreams of spending it according to all the rules, so that she can later remember it with pleasure, and not with laughter or a mournful expression. And couples getting married hope that their wedding night will become something sacred for them, different from the usual sex. And for this it is worth observing traditions and listening to signs that have been around for many centuries - our ancestors were wise people, so why not take their experience into account. Traditions of the first wedding night Tradition first. Eat and drink in moderation Traditionally, at a wedding, a separate table is prepared for the newlyweds with a minimum of alcoholic drinks and only light snacks. And this is not done in order to show that from now on the entire life of the spouses will be associated with deprivation and abstinence. The newlyweds are not supposed to drink and eat well at a wedding precisely so that the first wedding night goes off without a hitch, and also so that the child conceived that night is not handicapped. Therefore, if you want your wedding night not to resemble a well-fed and drunken dream, limit yourself to a couple of glasses of champagne and do not overindulge in roast geese, piglets and sturgeon. Although it is not suitable to go to the marriage bed on an empty stomach. There were cases when tired newlyweds first passed out, left in silence and in the company of a soft bed, and then met at the refrigerator, since “caring” relatives and the toastmaster did not allow them to replenish their strength. To prevent this from happening, agree to have a special table prepared for you and your betrothed - light meat, preferably chicken (by the way, chicken is traditionally served to newlyweds so that they have a strong family, abundant and healthy offspring; they eat it without using knives and forks) , and also ask that the snacks include aphrodisiac foods - celery, seafood, avocado, caviar, pine nuts and bananas. These are, by definition, not heavy and tasty products, quite suitable for a wedding feast. You and your husband will not go hungry and will feel a surge of loving energy. Tradition two. Don't sleep! No matter how tired you are, no matter how many nights you spent with your lover before the wedding, in order for family life to be happy, the act of a man entering a woman, as a symbol of entering her life, must take place. By the way, in many countries it is still believed that only physical intimacy makes the bonds of official marriage legal. Therefore, shift all worries about organizing the wedding to relatives, friends and the toastmaster. Your job is to smile, kiss while shouting “Bitter!” and try to save strength for the first wedding night. Don’t delay the celebration, you will have time to have a lot of fun on the second day of the wedding. And on your wedding day, give your guests the opportunity to have fun without you by quietly slipping away to a secluded place at nine in the evening at most, so that you have the opportunity to take a shower or bath together, take a sip of champagne, taking a break from the noisy celebration, and devote the night only to each other. Tradition three. Privacy of newlyweds and maintaining secrecy In the old days, newlyweds were escorted to the marriage bed by relatives and the most honored guests, who sang indecent ditties of an intimate nature, shouted, scaring off evil spirits and evil spirits, made greasy jokes and tried in every possible way to set the newlyweds up for the upcoming act. Nowadays, such accompaniment looks at least ridiculous, therefore, the more unnoticed you disappear from the holiday, the more chances you will have to spend the night according to a pre-planned scenario. According to tradition, the newlyweds' bed is made by the groom's mother or his godmother. Sometimes, if for some reason this is not feasible, the role of bed-maid is performed by another married relative. In principle, if you don’t want anyone to touch your love bed, you can organize everything yourself the day before; now this is not forbidden. The main thing is not to tell anyone where you will spend your first wedding night, this will serve as a kind of amulet. Only the woman who will make your bed and you can know about this place. Let the rest remain in the dark. This way, no one will have the opportunity to interfere with you at the most crucial moment. By the way, this is why it is best to spend the first wedding night where no one else will spend the night except you and your husband. If you do not have your own apartment, then it is better to rent a hotel room. Compared to general wedding expenses, this is not such a large amount (it is better to refuse a multi-meter wedding Hummer and spend the night with dignity), but the service staff will do everything for you and at the highest level. Just agree in advance that there will be candles and flowers, bring an aroma lamp with the oil whose aroma will unobtrusively excite both of you, and don’t forget about a tray with champagne, fruit and chocolate. Although you usually don’t have to remind the staff about this. Tradition four. Oberezhye Also, bring there a beautiful peignoir and underwear in advance so that you have something to change into before your wedding night. In the old days, a special shirt was sewn and decorated for the newlywed; it, like bed linen for the first night, was included in the bride’s dowry, and all sorts of protective signs were embroidered on it. It is imperative to change clothes before the night - the negative energy of all sorts of wedding “hype” and simply envious girlfriends who do not yet have a partner can remain on the wedding dress, as well as on the underwear. For the same reason, you should not bring flowers from the wedding donated by guests into the room where the first wedding night will take place. The exception is a bouquet given by the groom, but only if he chose (bought) it himself, and if you did not throw it (the bouquet, not the groom) into the crowd of sufferers. By the way, some newlyweds keep the bride’s bouquet for themselves, and throw a similar one to the guests, bought specifically for this purpose. It is believed that the longer the bride's bouquet stays in the newlyweds' bedroom, the longer and happier the family life will be. Therefore, many brides strive to order a bouquet in a special capsule with a solution so that the flowers do not wither during the wedding. Tradition five. Holy water, chicken and egg Also, observing wedding traditions, the wedding bed and in general the entire room must be blessed. To do this, go to the corners with holy water, sprinkle them and the bed and cross it all three times. Or entrust this to your mother-in-law. But only if you are sure that she is sincerely happy with her son’s choice. Otherwise, it’s better not to take risks and sanctify everything yourself. You never know what she will think about while fulfilling the mission entrusted to her. To ensure a successful first wedding night and good health for your offspring, steal a piece of chicken from the wedding feast and place it under the bed. By the way, some families still observe the ancient custom of placing an egg in the bed or under the bed. Just not fresh, but either boiled, or even made of wood or bone. It is believed that after this simple ritual, family life will be smooth, and children born in this marriage will be healthy and obedient. So, if such an egg is thrown at you, do not throw it away, let it lie for three nights (if you spent the first night in a hotel, take it with you), and then the egg, if it was artificial, leave it as a family heirloom, and if it was boiled, then feed it to the pigeons. Tradition six. Demonstration of innocence Another tradition that was sacredly observed by our ancestors is the display of a sheet with blood stains as proof that the bride went to the groom untouched. Moreover, even if blood did not flow after defloration due to the characteristics of the body, the groom’s relatives and the groom himself had every right to refuse the “disgraced” bride. In our time, such a tradition is an atavism. And it is mentioned in this article solely by the way. However, if you are a fan of the “deep traditions of antiquity” and wrote the wedding script based on historical sources, on the second day of the wedding you can demonstrate a sheet with improvised signs of defloration in order to maintain the authenticity of the ancient Russian wedding ceremony. We can talk endlessly about the traditions of the first wedding night, but the most important thing is that you decide for yourself what is important to you - to spend an unforgettable night of love, to get enough sleep after the wedding hassle, or to observe all the traditions to the point. And in accordance with your own desires, plan the wedding evening and the night after it. Signs of the first wedding night And finally, a few signs that also came to us from our ancestors. No one should enter the newlyweds' bedroom. If you find earth, sand, or, even worse, needles on your marriage bed, spend the night in another place. This sign is especially worth listening to. Firstly, such an “act of vandalism” may be the result of damage. And secondly, it’s simply uncomfortable and unpleasant to sleep on the ground and needles. And, by the way, the first sign exists, among other things, to ensure that no one throws anything unnecessary into your bed. If you have prepared a marriage bed for yourself in an apartment where someone else will spend the night, under no circumstances allow a drunken uncle who has come from another city, or a witness who is not able to make it home, to lie down on this bed. It is believed that in this case the spouses will cheat on each other. Before their wedding night, a young wife takes off her husband's shoes, who has a coin hidden in one of his shoes. If the wife is the first to take off the shoe with the coin, then she will dominate the family. But along with the status of “head of the family,” the wife also receives the honorable duty of taking off her husband’s shoes every day. Do you need it? Pillows on the marriage bed should be laid with a “cut” on the pillowcases facing each other. It is believed that this promises a long, friendly and happy family life. While observing traditions and following signs, do not forget to bring something of your own to your wedding night. After all, only you know how to please and please your beloved man so that this night becomes truly unforgettable and magical, and so that you can proudly say that your wedding was a 200% success.

How to choose bedding for a gift
There are a huge number of sets of linen. So how to choose exactly what you need for newlyweds? First of all, do not take sets as gifts on the street, no matter how beautiful they look. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, you won’t be able to look at the set, and you’ll end up with a “pig in a poke.” Secondly, it is unknown how long the seller has been standing with this set - perhaps it has already become clogged with street dust. Thirdly, no one guarantees the quality of such a purchase. In the store they will unfold the kit for you, let you touch it, give you advice and package it beautifully, if necessary.
How to choose a gift:
- Paired sets for double beds. Two pillowcases, two duvet covers, one large sheet. You shouldn’t limit yourself to one large duvet cover – it’s not always convenient.
- Pay attention to the material. It should be natural, durable, well stitched. If the laundry falls apart after the first wash, the young people will not thank you for it.
- There should be no “beauties” on the underwear made of rhinestones, beads, tassels, bows - it looks beautiful, but it’s uncomfortable to sleep on. If the linen is decorated with lace, it should be soft, without metallic threads.
- Duvet covers should have comfortable cutouts and standard sizes.
Ask how such laundry holds up in washing and whether it fades. Typically, large stores value their reputation and sell quality goods. In any case, be sure to ask for a receipt.

Does the design on bed linen matter as a gift?
What bedding to give for a wedding if all the sets are so beautiful and bright? There is an opinion that the drawing also has its own meaning. So, to enhance feminine energy and the birth of a girl, you should pay attention to heavenly motifs, birds, flowers, trees. If you want to strengthen the male influence in the house and wish the newlyweds the birth of a boy, pay attention to marine drawings. Small flowers and abstract figures beloved by our grandmothers will attract prosperity into the house. But striped underwear can bring discord into family life, as can images of predatory animals. Waterfalls and any flowing water will make a young family poorer. Moving objects will not allow spouses to sleep peacefully. If you don't know what to choose, take note of solid sets of beautiful pastel shades.
And attach a beautiful congratulation in custom verses to the gift. Let the newlyweds be sincerely pleased with your gift!
