The 5 Top Personalised Wedding Gifts

Type ‘wedding gifts’ in to a search engine and all you are going to get is endless offers from various companies, but what you really want to know is what is a suitable gift, not what has ‘50% off!”. Buying gifts for those all-important bridesmaids, groomsmen, ushers and pageboys is very difficult. You want something perfect and suitable for the occasion, but how are you supposed to know what to get? Time is running away and you have 100 other things on your mind, but you know that these gifts will make the recipients very happy, so where do you start? We’ve compiled a useful little list of the top 5 personalised wedding gifts. These offer high quality, a touch of sentiment and a heartfelt reminder of the special day. Have a look through and see if there is something perfect for your special day.

Engraved Cufflinks 

Cufflinks are often overlooked as a gift, but they are actually ideal as a wedding gift. Look for high quality pieces that you can have engraved or that are suitable for the occasion. Some people choose to find cufflinks in the form of knotted rope, to represent ‘tying the knot’ and others choose a simple square of silver with initials engraved. Similarly you could engrave it with their role on the day, such as ‘Usher’ or ‘Best Man’. This means that there is only one occasion that they can wear those cufflinks, but it provides a beautiful reminder of that day and they look lovely displayed on a table or shelf.

Engraved Hipflask 

This is always a well received gift and certainly one that will be treasured for decades to come. It has numerous uses and will pass the test of time. To make it more personal have it engraved with the date of the wedding, the recipient’s role on the day or the name of the happy couple.

Photoframe 

The photoframe has been a gift idea for many years and it will be for many years to come. Despite the fact that many of our photos are now stored in the cloud or on social media sites, the home is always brightened up and made more personal with a few photos placed around. This is a suitable gift for the bride and groom or for the bridesmaids and other members of the wedding party. Having the frame personalised makes it that touch more special and, if possible, adding a photo from the hen do or bachelor party or even from the wedding itself is a fantastic touch that will ensure the frame is put in prime position in the home.

Personalised Necklace and Box 

This is a beautiful and very popular gift for the bridesmaids and mother of the bride. The necklace can be something simple and elegant such as a silver heart and the accompanying box will usually be engraved with their name, the wedding date or their role on the day. It serves as a beautiful reminder and memento of the day and the necklace quite often becomes a favourite piece.

Engraved Glass 

This is more of a traditional gift and is always fondly received. The concept is simple but the effect is beautiful. Some choose to engrave it with a short message and others opt for all the details of the day, including the name of the wedding couple, the date and the location. Whatever you choose to add it will be treasured and probably saved for special occasions or put on display.
