Children's wedding is a very important and exciting event for their parents. And if the bride and groom this day is perceived as a cheerful and long-awaited holiday, then for the older generation the day of marriage of a son or daughter causes excitement and a slight sadness. In this regard, many parents pay great attention not only to the details of the celebration, but also to the choice of a wedding gift that I want to make especially soulful and memorable.

Practical options

Gifts for newlyweds from parents are usually distinguished by their scale against the background of other gifts, and are often pre-negotiated with both young and with the parents of the second spouse. The most expensive and practical things are, of course, a car or their own living space, but not all parents have such an opportunity, and most of the families give spouses less expensive, but equally useful and interesting gifts. So, the most common gift is cash. Despite his banality and prose, it is money that is so necessary for a young family, they help to arrange their life at the initial stage.

Another way of delivering money will require some labor and time, but it is quite original and unusual. Parents pre-exchange the entire amount in the bank for gold coins and fill them with a clay flower pot, which is also packed with wrapping paper and decorated with a bow. After the celebration, young people, at their own discretion, will be able either to exchange coins for bills, or they will keep the donated funds in gold equivalent. The following way of giving money is considered the most exotic of all the existing ones and consists in exchanging the prepared amount for the currency of different countries. After that, a large student globe or globe bar is bought, to which paper notes are attached, considering their affiliation to one or another country.

Often, the parents of the bride and groom negotiate this moment in advance and contribute the same amount to the gift account. The price of the issue depends entirely on the material capabilities of each of the parties and usually ranges from 20 to 100 thousand rubles. Handing out money to young can be interesting to beat. The most common option is to create a money cake, when bills are rolled up into tubes and interconnected using thin rubber bands. Then the “structure” is packed in beautiful transparent paper and tied with a large bow.

And, finally, the simplest, but no less original way of handing money will be the purchase of two paired piggy banks (for example, in the form of a cat and a cat) and filling them up to the top with ten rubles. Usually such gifts are perceived with a bang and create a real sensation. In order that, due to the youth of its age, a couple will not mindlessly spend the donated money on any unnecessary things, you can open a deposit in the bank for a period of one to several years. This approach is the most pragmatic and allows you to multiply the amount for 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, and therefore both of them will have to use it.Therefore, a leather armchair or food processor as a wedding present will not work. But a microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, personal computer, fireplace or TV will be very useful. If the guys already have their own housing, then a good gift will be air conditioning or a built-in kitchen.

In addition, you can give a couple a stretch ceiling, a “warm floor” system, a glazed balcony or new windows. If funds allow, it is possible to pay in full for the repair of the entire apartment, since the lion’s share of the family budget is often spent on it. However, the purchase of furniture and household appliances should be considered taking into account the wishes of the young. This is explained by slightly different ideas of fathers and children about homeliness and functionality of certain devices, therefore, the most reasonable in this case would be the purchase of a gift certificate. For young spouses living in a private house or having a summer cottage, the combined barrel bath or multi-barbeque maker will be a practical gift.

If the future spouses have all the necessary equipment, the repair is done and the apartment is fully furnished, then the presentation of two certificates to the jewelry salon will be an excellent gift. The young wife will be able to choose a sophisticated jewelry, and her husband will exchange his certificate for an expensive watch. The pairing rule applies to all gifts that are presented to the newlyweds. It often happens that every parent, in addition to the general gift, wants to congratulate his child with an individual gift.

In this case, you must purchase a gift for the second spouse, and the cost of such gifts should be approximately equivalent. But in any case, individual gifts should be somewhat more modest than a joint one, and they should have both a memorable and practical function. An exception may be a family heirloom, presented to a daughter from a mother or daughter-in-law from a mother-in-law. It can be a piece of antiquity or antique jewelry. In this case, the pair present to the groom may not be presented.

So in conclusion - the classics of the genre. Bedding sets, tea and dinner sets, crystal vases, down comforters and pillows, expensive curtains and sets of pots were always considered to be practical and necessary presents.

Surprises for the soul

Such gifts do not imply the donation of any kind of material values, however, they are distinguished by their original ideas and are remembered for a long time by the newlyweds and guests. A good song would be a song performed by the parents of the bride and groom., as well as the presentation of the young their first family portrait. Now you can easily order any portrait from a photo, and the only condition when choosing such a gift is to select the most successful photo that both spouses would like. In addition to the traditional version, you can order a copy of the reproduction of the famous master with the image of the spouses. Such canvases look impressive and will surely be remembered by all those present for a long time.

Also an interesting, though short-lived gift will be a large caviar filled to the top with black caviar of the highest quality. For such a gift you can come up with a lot of comic quatrains, as well as wishes of wealth and prosperity. In addition, various amulets and figurines that can attract happiness and well-being to the house with the help of feng shui techniques will become an inexpensive, but very emotional and original gift. You can also donate icons or other religious symbols acquired in the respective establishments.

Selection Criteria

However, some modern parents do not want to give classic bedding and often focus on the hobbies and lifestyle of children. Such gifts are, as a rule, narrow-minded and very positively perceived by the newlyweds.

Hobby

If young people have a joint hobby, then this greatly simplifies the choice of a gift. So, for lovers of hiking and walking a tourist tent or a gazebo with soft windows will be a good gift. If the couple is fond of bike travel, you can give them two good bikes or a gift certificate to the company bicycle shop. Fans of fishing will be happy with a modern inflatable boat, and those who appreciate extreme rest will appreciate the expensive climbing equipment. If young people are seriously addicted to photography, then they will fall in love with two expensive SLR cameras, and if a couple loves long journeys, then a fashionable travel case will take its rightful place among other gifts. A good addition to the suitcase will be a tourist voucher for two with an open date.

Dreams

The fulfillment of the cherished dream of spouses is an unusual and desirable gift. For example, if guys want to jump with a parachute, you can give them a certificate for one jump and pay for the services of an instructor. The organization of a round-the-world honeymoon trip or a trip to an exotic country that young people have long wanted to visit can become an original and unexpected gift. As an example, the most popular places for romantic travel are mysterious Thailand and touching Venice. If, after organizing a wedding celebration, the budget of the parents does not withstand such luxurious gifts, you can limit yourself to a certificate for a horse ride or a balloon flight. A good gift will be riding on a yacht or visiting a contact dolphinarium. With a certain amount of free money, you can please the children with a visit by a popular singer, who will perform before the guests with a short concert program and will willingly take part with the young in a photo shoot.

However, when choosing a gift for young parents should be familiar with the list of items, the purchase of which is better to refuse. At the wedding is not accepted to give piercing and cutting items., the exception can be only a nickel silver expensive set of tableware, which, along with spoons, always includes forks and a knife. No need to buy mirrors, potted plants and empty vases. As an individual gift does not need to consider a clip for a tie, accessories for hair care, cufflinks and a set of candles.

Most of the prohibitions are based on superstitions, which many young people prefer not to pay attention to, but given the presence at the wedding of the older generation of relatives, it is better not to give such items. This will eliminate unnecessary explanations and keep everyone in a festive mood.

What can you do with your own hands?

Gifts made by hand, often give the grandmother of the bride and groom. Such things carry a powerful positive charge and have good energy. The most common self-made gift is a candy bouquet or a pair of beautiful long scarves linked by a grandmother. A wicker fruit basket decorated with ribbons and flowers or a homemade little house as a charm for a new apartment will be a good gift. A joint project of parents on both sides can be the design of a couple's family album with a selection of children's and youth photos of the bride and groom.

Whatever the gift of parents on the Wedding Day and whatever its material value, for a young family, it will always be the most expensive and desirable thing that carries the warmth and love of parental hearts.
