Today is mine and my wife’s 2nd year anniversary (she’s a tough woman ) I personally like the traditional anniversary gifts as they feel more loving and require more thought rather than simply spending money. Nothing says love more than an electrical appliance

So why is there 31 you ask? “Just The Way You Are” was my Wifes pick for our wedding song…(Any good husband would’ve done the same)

So what did you have or are going to choose for your wedding?

Sugared almonds are put inside a bag made of tulle or even something as unique as a personalised shot glass and tied with ribbons in assorted colours. Sugared wedding almonds come in various colours, most commonly white for a wedding, First Communion or Confirmation; pink or blue for a childs Baptism or birthday, red for a graduation ceremony, and silver or gold for 25 or 50 year anniversaries.

Avoid leaving your guests on the out by including them as party of your wedding. Some people really enjoy singing and getting some good music going while passing around a microphone can be a great way to make your special day one to remember for all you guests. For the religious couples you could pick a favourite verse and have your guests join in reading aloud. Personalised gifts are always a good option which can be bought on a tight budget. These can be part of your bomboneire or given separately to those close to you.

You can save money and involve a guest if you hire the wedding vehicles without a driver. Most men would love the opportunity to drive one of the wedding cars though be sure to pick someone that is comfortable not drinking at your wedding reception should you need a chauffeur after the event. You may also have a wedding program which one of your guests could help by handing out.

It is unfortunate that sometimes your wedding gifts can get lost or go astray, so it is a good idea to ask a trustworthy guest to keep a watch over your wishing well or gift table. This person may also like to be in charge of transporting the gifts to your designated place after the event.

Involving your guests in a personal way will ensure they have as much a memorable day as you do!

There is also the possibility of one or more of your guests feeling uncomfortable for not having brought a gift or bringing a small something that is of lesser value than another guest. Personalised gifts, such as engraved glassware, that are unique and affordable are often the best way to show your support for the upcoming marriage. They show you invested thought as well as leaving you the opportunity to provide the married couple with a nice gift at the wedding.
