NBR- wedding gift ideas

silverwings72 · August 2014

I need help picking out a gift for my brother in law's wedding. He and his fiancé have been living together for many years so they have all the usual stuff. What are some creative, yet personal gifts you received for your wedding?

BTW, I am having a small panic attack at picking out an outfit for this wedding in September. All I can think is how big will I be in another month? And I'm cringing at all the family pics we will be taking.

Edited- spelling is hard

If you know their style, you can try searching on etsy for personalized wedding gifts. I got my cousin a painted sign with dates when they met, got engaged, and married. She said it was her favorite gifts.

Personalized engraved cutting board was nice, we had someone give us a crystal dish from Tiffany's that somehow has our invitation on it. You could do a nice vase.

One of my favorite gifts is a wood sign of our last name and then has our "established" date on it. I think it was from an etsy shop.

A custom handmade calligraphy with our names. I have a friend who is a professional calligrapher and she's made me two pieces so far, and has promised a third for Munchkin! (Actually, I can PM you her Etsy info if you want it, she does a lot of different stuff.) I also loved the matching mugs with our wedding date and Mr. Lastname and Mrs. Lastname on them.

Would your BIL already have something like a crystal serving platter? One of those kinds of things that you use only once a year but is super nice to have when hosting a formal dinner?

I would love a link to her etsy shop!!

We received a nicely framed and matted wedding invitation (ours). It was so sweet, and hangs in our living room. Another idea is you could give them a "date night"- restaurant gift card for a place they like, champagne, movie... My MIL's friends threw us a gift card shower instead of a typical bridal shower and it provided us with several date nights.

One of my favorite gifts we received was a couple gift sets of spices from this store called Penzies (sp? ) they are awesome! We received a baking spices set with cinnamon, cocoa etc and also a chili set. Their spices are expensive but SOOOO worth it

I have two that I got and loved. One was one of those signs that spells out your last name but the letters are made of pictures of random things (ie the "a" in our last name is a close up of the side angle of a swing set). I have no idea if I'm explaining this clearly so I can try to find a pic if I'm not making sense. The other that I thought was unique was a door knocker for our front door engraved with our last name and established date. I believe Things Remembered sells it.

I've ordere quite a few personalized items from this website & everybody I've given them too loves them.

Is there anything they'd like to upgrade on? Dh & I lived together for 2.5 yrs before we were married, but a lot of our household items were cheap. I appreciated nice silverware, a pot & pan set, lamps, etc.

One of my favorite shower gifts was a Nora Fleming platter and mini.

For personalized anything, I love www.personalizationmall.com. So far, everything I've ordered has been great quality (cutting boards, blankets, etc.).

Default wedding gift in these parts is a check. Regardless of how long they've been living together, newleyweds could always use cash!

One of our favorites is a picture frame engraved with our names & wedding date. My sister also had a bound photo book printed for us that I love to flip through.

I have often given people a gift card to a nice restaurant and written something like "since you spent all your money on a wedding, please enjoy a date on us". People have always said they really liked it.

Another cute idea I heard was to give the couple lessons for something, for example golf lessons together. I thought that was a really nice gift and a nice way to spend time together.

I loooove all of these! Thank you so much. Now I am stuck on etsy and things remembered. Is it wrong if I keep seeing things I want to buy for myself or the baby? I'm a selfish biotch sometimes :P

I know I'm kinda digging this thread up but I wanted to put my 2 cents in and AW a little too.

I made my SIL a towel cake for her bridal shower... who doesn't have towels on their wedding registry? It might not be as practical a gift for the wedding but it was surprisingly easy to make and really cute. Good last minute type of thing too if you don't have time to order something!

This is the one I made

Holy crap! That is awesome!! We can all use more towels. How did you do this ?

silverwings72 · August 2014

@kyliedaniellexx‌ - you did an amazing job. I'm in a wedding in November and I think this would be a perfect gift for them as well. So, looks like I'll be making two
