The Perfect Wedding Gift - NO Wishing well present
Finding the perfect gift can often be a difficult task. Majority of couples these days, prefer to have a wishing well for their big day rather than a gift registry. A great idea, but sometimes a personalise gift adds a nice touch. If you're like me and you love giving a gift as well as contributing to the wishing well, then here are our top wedding favours or gift ideas for the Mr & Mrs to be.
1. An Adventure or experience.
Do something different and give the new couple a gift they will remember forever. An experience. This of course will depend on what you're loved ones are in tune to. It might be a Harbour Yacht dinner voucher, or an adrenalin experience such as a circus ropes course or a hot air balloon ride. Another great idea, is getting in touch with their hotel, where they are staying on their Honeymoon and paying for a night's dinner, allowing the couple to spend some time together and have a once in a lifetime trip away.
2. Photograph
There are endless online businesses that can help arrange for an image to be blown up or you could even drop in to Officeworks or K-mart! A blown up photograph is a great idea to give the newlyweds! You could find an image from their engagement party, when they first met, a family photo or even an image of their kids and surprise them with it beautifully framed. This is a gift they will treasure forever and I'm sure will have hanging on their wall forever.
3. Handmade Treasure
If you are a creative individual and are known to get a bit crafty, then creating a handmade present could be the perfect gift from you. There are so many beautiful prints that you could create for the happy couple, such as a love map, a scrabble board or even a beautiful pallet rustic sign. If you know what they like, styles, trends etc and know that they would love a special piece of artwork, then this is the ideal and most affordable favour idea.
4. Personalised Glasses
What is cooler than a glass that has your name and wedding date on there? Whatever your poison, a beautifully engraved pair of glasses for the new Mr and Mrs is the ideal gift.
