Whats an ideal gift for a wedding party???

[Smocking Rock]

These days I have to attend atleast 4 marriages, but i am always stuck with the idea, Konsa gift leke javooooon, plz can anybody help with it, thanku.

Flowers are always a good idea. If they're good friends, and you don't mind spendin some money, a bottle of wine would be good too. Maybe a brochure or book on the place the couple plan to visit for their honeymoon. Maybe a funky 'his-n-hers' towel set A nice set of bedsheets... the list is endless man!

Well to choose the most appropriate gift you must be clued in on the ppl you actually want to gift. His/her likes dislikes etc etc. Also another factor would be the budget.



When its for weddings you would want to present something that would be useful in the general household or stuff of that kind. A home appliance, set of nonstick, a dinner set. A gift cheque would be very handy but it would give an impression of being a lil impersonal. A set of Titan watches would be very special.



If it were upto me and time was a constraint I would go ahead and pick up a dessert bowl set. At least you'd be remembered when something sweet was dished out



Hope that helps.

Got good information but all u have suggested is for our dearest ones, but what should I do when I go to some one's marriage whom i don't know, may be like my fathers friend or some one like that....

The method that I adopt when I need to attend a wedding/party is to keep myself in the receivers' place and think, it generally helps. budget is another one that I keep in mind.

Fathers' friends' childrens' wedding would mean something more dignified than what we would take to our freinds', since the gift wud be talked about by the elders too..

so, shud use discretion, I guess.

if it is a new home that they would be making, then the # of things that you can give wud be lots.. any day to day req. like elcetronics in the kitchen, a tasteful painting for the living room or a romantic one.. any of the krishnas' paintings wud make for any of the rooms .. for the bedroom, a grandfathers clock, an area rug or a small carpet for the living room to add color, an expensive set of cushion covers, a tasteful set of place mats, or a table runner.. a flower vase from kalanjali.. just about any ethinic stuff from so many shops around..





if the bride is moving into her in-laws' then, their room would make more sense but u need to make it less personal i think, since it is NOt your personal friend, nai..



generally some long standing gift makes them remember you/ ur father

for the thoughtfulness that u wud have put in.. good luck. do let us know what you finally gifted.. have fun.
