Wedding Gift FAQ
What are the best personalized wedding gifts?
The best personalized wedding gifts include custom artwork, cutting boards, vow books, name signs, or anything with the couple’s names and wedding date. Handmade or Etsy-sourced gifts add a unique, meaningful touch.
How much should I spend on a wedding party gift?
Most brides and grooms spend $25 to $100 per person, depending on their role and budget. Gifts don’t need to be expensive — just thoughtful and useful.
When do I give wedding gifts to the bridal party?
Wedding party gifts are typically given during the rehearsal dinner or on the morning of the wedding while getting ready. Include a note to make it more meaningful.
What is a good groom-to-bride gift?
Popular groom-to-bride gifts include a perfume she can wear on the wedding day, jewelry, a framed photo, or a letter. Choose something personal and sentimental for the biggest impact.
What’s a good last-minute wedding gift idea?
Last-minute wedding gifts that still feel thoughtful include digital gift cards, instant-download art prints, personalized gifts from Amazon, or writing a heartfelt letter with a keepsake photo.
Should you buy a gift if you’re in the wedding party?
Yes — even if you’re a bridesmaid or groomsman, it’s thoughtful to give a small gift to the couple. It doesn’t need to be expensive — just a meaningful gesture or group gift is perfect.
Do wedding gifts have to be on the registry?
Not at all. While registry gifts are always appreciated, a well-chosen off-registry item — especially something personalized or handmade — can be even more meaningful.
