Wedding Gifting Guide 101

What a happy couple they are!
Let's help them stay that way with any of these lovely gift ideas


1. ANYTHING from their registry

Seriously... anything. As an engagement gift or as part of their wedding gift, it's good practice to grab something from their registry. I mean, it's there for a reason. When we were engaged, I checked our registries more than I checked Instagram. Any bride will tell you it's like Christmas morning to see things disappear from your wish list knowing someone truly understands that you need that kitchen Aid or those Kate Spade toasting flutes.

If you're not sure where to check for the engaged couple's registry, try these popular retailers first:

www.nordstrom.com
 Pottery Barn
www.potterybarn.com
 Crate and Barrel
www.crateandbarrel.com
2. Honeymoon Treats
Find out where they're going on their honeymoon and if they have a honeymoon registry. If so then you can go to that site and select a treat for the couple to have while they're there (like a candle light dinner for 2 or bottle of bubbly). If the couple is going to an all-inclusive resort, but didn't register, you can go through their resorts website to pre-pay for the gift of your choosing. They'll love it, I assure you!
In the case that the couple is traveling abroad or to a local spot, you can call ahead to their hotel and have chocolate strawberries or wine waiting on them when they arrive. You'll be the FIRST thank you note they send out once they return.
