Wedding Gift Basket Ideas For Your Favorite Couple
Weddings are a great occasion for gift creativity. Newlyweds could
use so many things that the gift basket ideas are endless. Depending on
when you will deliver your gift basket, try to choose items that will
be most helpful to the new couple.
A more traditional gift like
kitchen and bath items should be given at the wedding reception.
Wedding gift baskets should enhance the life of the couple for the
first days and weeks after the wedding when they have the daunting task
of uniting two lives on a daily basis. Choose a wedding gift theme for
your basket that concentrates on the evening after, the next morning,
the honeymoon return, and even the first wedding anniversary.
Some
couples wait to leave the next morning on their honeymoon especially if
the wedding is in the evening. Make their first night as man and wife
even more special with a romantic picnic themed gift basket. I just
love those large wooden picnic baskets that are trimmed in a red and
white gingham print. Line the basket with artificial rose petals. You
will need two plates and silverware along with two long stem wine
glasses.
Choose a nice bottle of champagne. The bottle can be
chilled beforehand and wrapped elegantly in a dinner napkin when placed
in the basket. Include a selection of fruits that are in season and
cheeses as well. The fare should be light—something that they can snack
on throughout the evening at their leisure. A romantic picnic wouldn’t
be complete without chocolate covered strawberries. All items should be
kept cold and the basket assembled and delivered to the waiting
limousine near the end of the wedding reception to avoid the food
getting too warm before the presentation. Include a card wishing them a
wonderful evening.
The happy couple will be surprised to find a
welcome home wedding gift basket when they return from the honeymoon.
No one wants to grocery shop and cook when they return from a trip.
Your basket can take the load off by providing meals for an entire day.
Include a breakfast, lunch, and dinner for two. The breakfast should be
simple: fruit, yogurt, and muffins. Lunch can consist of chicken salad
with crackers, and a nice simple dinner that they just need to warm up.
The basket you choose shouldn’t have a handle so it can fit in the
refrigerator. Include a nice note that outlines the items in the basket.
Unique
wedding gift baskets are great for the first few weeks after the
wedding. A gift basket filled with practical items like light bulbs, a
screwdriver set, kitchen utensils, and cleaning supplies would be
appreciated. The couple will be knee deep in “thank-you” notes and
other little things they need to do. Fill a wedding gift basket with
assorted thank you cards, pens, envelopes, stamps, and wedding pictures
that you personally took. A picture could be slipped into each envelope
with the thank you card so the couple can show their appreciation to
the guests.
Wedding gift baskets are not just for the special
day. Couples need a bit of help getting their lives together for the
first few weeks. Make the good feelings of the wedding last with unique
gift baskets that can be given throughout the first month after the
ceremony.
