Getting an invite to a wedding is a privilege. When a couple invites you to be a part of the most special day of their lives, it’s only natural to want to find the perfect wedding gift for them.
Here are our top tips for choosing a memorable Irish wedding present.
Assess your relationship with bride and groom
It’s common to give cash in Ireland, and that’s especially true if you’re not very close to the bride and groom, but if you are, you may wish to give them a more personal gift instead or as well as money. This is especially true for family members. Mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters of the bride and groom, as well as other members of the bridal party, may want to choose something extra special. Outside of the family and bridal party, a more traditional wedding gift might be plenty.
Decide on the budget
We don’t like to talk about money in Ireland, but if you’re attending a wedding, figuring out an appropriate budget for your gift is a must. The Irish Independent reveals that individuals spend an average of €100-€200, but it really does vary depending on whether you’re family or friends, how close you are with the couple, whether you’re a part of the bridal party, and how much your bank balance will allow.
Personalise it and make it last
Weddings are once-in-a-lifetime events (for most!) and the symbols of the day are often cherished through the marriage. Choose a gift that will last, and marks the day two families came together as one.
The days of buying a toaster to help a couple start off are long gone. Simply put, there’s no need for such household items in an era where most couples live together before marriage.
So what do you buy the couple that has everything? Consider something unique, personal and truly special. Our selection of wedding gifts combine the couple’s details with a touch of Irish heritage and a traditional blessing.
