Daughter's wedding is an event no less significant than her birth. In the bustle of the wedding, it is important not to forget to prepare a gift for your daughter - just for her, and not a general gift for the young, which you will present on your wedding day. A present for a daughter is both a desire to pamper her (after all, from now on, this concern will fall on her husband’s shoulders), and a manifestation of parental blessing, and tradition.
Traditional gifts
If we turn to the traditions, then one of the gifts to the daughter-bride from her parents can be considered a dowry. However, to be fair, it is not so much a gift, as a contribution to the as-yet unattached life of the young. The dowry began to be prepared already since then, when the bride was still a girl. In the coveted chest with a dowry laid family jewelry, table and bed linen, trimmed cloth cuts, dishes, cutlery.
The current brides can also be presented with the same items in order to make it easier for them to arrange their family nest. Today there is no need to save a dowry, because everything you need can be bought without problems in one day. It is important to focus on the tastes of her daughter, ask her about how she sees her housing with her husband. Better yet, go choose a dowry with the bride.
In old families, especially wealthy, on the day of marriage or on the eve of the mother gave her daughter a family jewel. If you have one, present it to her. As an option - you can give some of your own decoration, which is not so much a high material value, as a great sacred value. In extreme cases, you can buy a new decoration, bequeathed to his daughter to make it family.
Such a gift to the daughter of the mother’s wedding is better to present 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 simply prepare a homely gala dinner. The goal here is not just to pass on the jewel, but to secretly bless.
Instead of jewels, if the family is a believer, you can give a prayer book, an appropriate icon to the house of the young, so that it protects the newly-made family. But you can’t give your own cross to the cross: it’s believed that you can pass on your destiny.
Instead of family jewels from father and mother you can present gold and silver coins.depicting wedding scenes and motifs - it’s symbolic. Coins can also be passed on to the next generation, and their value will increase.
Modern Gifts
Even if you are not going to follow traditions, donating a daughter to a bride should be something that will help her in her family life, be useful or remind her parents.
If funds permit, it's time to present an apartment, a summer house or a car to a girl. This will be a good gift not only from a practical point of view (a young family can immediately housewarming or take advantage of a donated car), but also from a legal one. Since a gift was received outside of marriage, the spouse will not officially qualify for it. Of course, your daughter should not talk about such details, but at the same time, your parental heart will be calm.
A good gift is household appliances, and it is better if these are units that facilitate female labor: a slow cooker, a vacuum cleaner, a dishwasher, etc.
It is difficult to consider a bedding set as a gift for a daughter getting married. At the same time, for a couple, this is a necessary gift.Get out of the situation by adding a beautiful peignoir for your daughter or a certificate to the lingerie store.
A good gift option is a set of dishes, but let it be a large and expensive set that can be used on holidays. A set of cutlery, for example, made of silver, with an engraving will also be suitable. You can put on the devices the names or initials of the young, the date of their wedding.

Almost every girl will be delighted with a set of good cosmetics, a perfume or a certificate to the store where you can buy them, especially since after organizing a wedding and family life a girl may not have a free amount for such purchases.
Original gifts
In general, any (or almost any) gift can be made original by carefully considering how to present it. For example, you can give a pair of tea, or you can add it with a small tray on the legs. On such traditionally served breakfast in bed. So you can subtly hint the future son-in-law, what should be the awakening and morning meal of your daughter.
Another interesting gift option is the pedigree book. You can purchase ready-made options or create your own design by ordering the realization of the idea to an advertising publisher.

One of the most popular gifts is, of course, the organization of the honeymoon. It is important to choose the travel route taking into account the characters and preferences of the young family. You can originally present a certificate for a trip or tickets, adding a globe to the gift. In the place of the globe, where young people have to go, their photo is fixed.
Another option is to organize or financially support the organization of a hen party. As a rule, a girl has to spend her “hard-earned money” on him. Such care and financial support from parents will be very helpful.
