It’s been so long since we’ve had the privilege of celebrating life events like weddings in person with our friends and family. Finally those poor couples who have needed to postpone and re-plan weddings are able to have celebrations again on a smaller scale. As a matter of fact, statistics say that there will be 2.6 million weddings set to take place throughout 2022. Now that couples are beginning to have weddings again, it’s nice to make their celebration extra special by giving them a unique wedding gift!
Weddings are very much embedded with traditions, along with the gifts that can come with it. However in this modern day and age, many people are waiting to get married until they are older. So there is a good chance the bride already has a toaster or matching salt and pepper shakers. When it comes to a gift, it is important to start thinking outside of the box early on. Here are some unique wedding gift ideas that will definitely be appreciated!
A ‘Story of Us’ Journal
The one thing that the bride and their spouse have that no one else in the whole world has is their story. So gifting the bride a ‘Story of Us journal’ will never be the same as anyone else’s. This journal can be a beautiful keepsake full of memories. The married couple can revisit it at any point and pass down to others who are interested in their story.

Bridal Boudoir
A wedding day should be a day where the bride feels their best, and while the wedding outfit is often the main event, another feel-good suggestion to throw into the mix is a bridal boudoir photoshoot! Whether your bride has tried it once or this will be her first time, a boudoir shoot can be a really exhilarating experience, embedded with self-love and confidence. Professionals are there to make you feel comfortable and glamorous – the perfect gift for any bride. And let’s not forget, it could also be a treat for the other half too…
Personalized Date Cards
Married life is sure to be full of adventure in between all of the “What do you want for dinner tonight?” texts. Just in case you need a hand, personalized date cards will sure to be a hit as a gift. Especially if you know the bride really well! This sweet gift will give the happy couple a choice of a date for every day for a year. Then they can work out what to do for the rest of their lives after.
Household Appliances and Kitchenware
Finding the perfect wedding gift to mark the special occasion feels like a daunting task for some people. Make your mark on this special day by giving them something that is truly useful. Small kitchen appliances and kitchenware are an ideal go-to present for couples just starting out or already established in their homes. Coffee makers and slow cookers, nice serving platters or a set of wine glasses and tea mugs would be sure to come in handy and would be practical and appreciated by the couple.

A Homemade Wedding Video
If you have tech skills, a creative eye, and are not in a role that demands you are helping the bride during her day, a homemade wedding video where you can capture the true essence of the day makes a special present. Photographers don’t often stay past the main event (though you can ask them too). Getting footage and special messages from the reception guests and the evening do will be sure to put a smile on their face. No other gift will be able to match that!
Get customized jewelry
A jewelry gift is always well-received on any occasion, but it’s not enough to buy a random piece of shiny jewelry. A jewelry gift becomes more memorable when you carefully choose and customize one with the recipient in mind. A chained pocket watch from Dalvey, engraved with a date or message significant to the couple makes a great gift, something that would remind them of their journey of creating a family, which they can pass on to their children in the future. There’s nothing more heartfelt than when you receive something made for you.
There are many ways to customize jewelry. You can embellish your gift with the receiver’s initials, engraved name, birthstone gems, or zodiac symbols. These might sound too common, but they remain classic personalization touches that are widely loved. If you’re short on time for a customized gift but still want to give something with a personal flair, think about what your receiver likes. Look for jewelry in their favorite color or motif, or choose one that fits their unique style. This Roberto Coin earrings collection is one place to start looking for the perfect jewelry gift.
I hope you find these fun and unique wedding gift ideas useful!
