Giving wedding gifts is a challenging task
and can be even more confusing if you need to follow certain traditions such as
they have in the south. You want your gift to be on point, memorable and truly
make a statement with the bride and groom.
Take your time and do your homework, so you
don’t have any regrets at the end of the day. Shop around and use the list of
ideas below to help you get started in the right direction. Enjoy the process
and how great it’ll feel to finally come to a decision about what the perfect
southern wedding gift will be for your friend or family member.
Supplies for Outdoor Activities
Outdoor activities and hunting are very
common hobbies in the south, especially when the weather is nice. A unique idea
for a southern wedding gift is to give archery
supplies or hunting gear, which is a great activity the
bride and groom can do together after they’re married. Other ideas include
camping, hunting or fishing gear so they can embark on new adventures as a
couple doing what they enjoy.
Formal China
People in the south love to throw dinner
parties for friends and family members and this is especially expected of new
brides. The perfect southern wedding gift is to purchase formal china that the
newly married couple can use to entertain in their home. Get them a full set so
it all matches and they have all they need to look put together and organized.
Luckily, there are a wide variety of beautiful patterns and styles to choose
from.
Piece of Art
Another excellent southern wedding gift
idea is to buy the couple a stunning piece
of art or opt to make your own. For instance, purchase
colors you know will look good in their home and artists you know they love,
otherwise make a gift using memories from the wedding. You can DIY crochet or
stitch words and images together that have to do with ever-lasting love and
building a happy home and then frame it. They’ll appreciate the thoughtfulness
and personal touch of a homemade gift.
Monogrammed Anything
One tradition in the south that is sure to
be a hit if you go this route is to gift anything
that’s monogrammed. For example, you can engrave and personalize jewelry, towels or a
nice vase that they can put on display. Your bride and groom can be proud of
wanting to showcase the family name in any way possible around the home. The
bride and groom will love any gift that accomplishes this goal and looks nice
in their home or that they can physically wear such as jewelry.
Conclusion
You should now have
a good idea of what to get a southern bride and groom for their wedding day.
These gift options are not only traditional in nature but tasteful and classy
as well. You can’t go wrong with one of these choices, so commit to an item and
wrap it beautifully and you’ll have nothing to worry about.
