Wedding Gifts For the Bride

What do I get the bride as a present?

Whether you want to give the bride a gift that she can use on her wedding day or one that she can use to remember the day, you can’t go wrong with a personalized gift. A necklace with her new last name, a Christmas ornament with their wedding date, or an engraved music box are thoughtful and unique gifts she will love. A “Mrs.” tote bag or personalized compact mirror are gifts she can use on her wedding day and beyond. No matter what gift you choose, the bride is sure to love the thought behind her wedding gift!

What does the groom buy the bride?

The groom can buy the bride a heartfelt or sentimental gift that she can remember their wedding day by. Some wedding day gift ideas for the bride are jewelry, personalized jewelry boxes, picture frames, ornaments, wine glasses, personalized mug, or a keepsake snow globe.

How much money should I give as a wedding gift?

There is no right or wrong amount to give since it is a gift! However, a common amount to gift for weddings is around $100-150. Factors that should be taken into account when considering how much to give as a gift include your relationship with the bride & groom and the formality of the wedding. For example, if you’re a close family member or friend you should give more than if you are a distant friend or coworker. Regarding formality and location of the wedding, if it is a destination wedding you can give a little less since you are already spending money on travel. If the wedding is at an expensive venue or a black tie affair, you can give a larger gift than if it was a backyard wedding. All gifts should be within your comfort level and budget, so what you end up giving is completely up to you!
