How Much to Give for a Wedding Gift?
This is a totally personal choice. The first thing to remember when it comes to wedding gifts, is that the couple wouldn't want you to spend what you can't afford. Also, the amount you give can vary depending on your relationship with the couple, too. For a general guide, £50 is a typical amount for a single guest attending the wedding, while if you're in the wedding party or an immediate family member, you could spend £100+ if you can afford it.
Ultimately, it’s not about how much you spend, but the thoughtfulness of the gift. Personalised wedding gifts – or those that match the couple’s hobbies and interests – can hold just as much value as high-priced items. It’s important to give what feels right for you and your circumstances.
What Are the Most Popular Wedding Gifts in the UK?
Popular wedding gift ideas in the UK often include personalised keepsakes, like engraved champagne flutes or a custom map print to mark a special place in the couple's life. Home-related gifts, such as kitchen gadgets, subscription boxes, or luxury bedding are always well-received. Additionally, experience gifts like wine tasting or hot air balloon rides are becoming increasingly popular, offering couples unforgettable memories rather than just material items. When choosing a gift, consider the couple’s personal tastes and style – this will help you pick something they’ll truly love and cherish.
Are Cash Gifts Appropriate for Weddings in the UK?
Yes, cash gifts are widely accepted in the UK, and are often appreciated by couples who may already have everything they need. While it can feel awkward to ask for money, one way to make it more comfortable is to provide a wedding money poem card or a link to a honeymoon fund or house deposit contribution via the couple’s wedding website. This way, guests know exactly where their contribution is going, which adds a personal touch to the gift. Cash wedding gifts allow couples to use the money in ways that are meaningful to them, whether that’s creating new experiences or investing in something for their future.
What Are Some Sustainable Wedding Gift Ideas?
Looking for sustainable wedding gift ideas? Consider gifts that have a long-lasting impact and are eco-friendly. A personalised plant subscription is a wonderful option – each month, the couple receives a new plant, contributing to a greener future. Alternatively, a zero-waste starter kit with sustainable home goods or a reusable picnic set could be the perfect choice. If you want to keep things more traditional, secondhand luxury goods or vintage home decor are both eco-conscious and unique options.
What Can You Give as a Last-Minute Wedding Gift?
If you’re in need of a last-minute wedding gift idea, don’t worry! There are plenty of thoughtful options available that don’t require weeks of planning. Consider a digital gift voucher for a romantic dinner, or a wine subscription box so the couple can enjoy a variety of wines over time. Experience gifts are another fantastic last-minute option – think spa days, concert tickets, or even a hot air balloon ride that can be booked online. Personalised wedding gifts like a custom print or a handpicked craft cocktail kit are also quick to arrange but still show you put thought into the gift.
How Can I Personalise a Wedding Gift?
Personalising a wedding gift adds an extra layer of thoughtfulness that the couple will cherish. You can easily personalise items like photo frames, champagne flutes, or even a custom map print with the couple’s names, wedding date, or a meaningful location. Personalised gift boxes filled with curated treats or custom ceramic pieces are also great options.
The key is to focus on the couple’s interests, whether that’s adding their initials to a pretty coaster, or creating a bespoke experience gift that speaks to their shared passions. This type of wedding gift will show you’ve put extra effort into finding something truly special.
