Wedding gift suggestions

A good wedding gift can be many things. Many couples want money so they can buy what they want. However, if you'd rather give a proper gift that is nicely wrapped and remembered, you have come to the right place. You might be lucky that the bride and groom have made a wish list. Most people have one for their wedding, and this of course makes it easier for you when buying a gift. The list often features gift wishes at several price levels, so here you can assess how much money you want to spend

When you have bought your gift, remember to attach a card so that the couple can see that the gift is from you. Depending on the size of the wedding, the couple is guaranteed to receive many wedding gifts that day, and it is therefore important that your gift does not get lost among all the others. At the same time, you can use the opportunity to write a personal message. Many brides keep the cards from their big day, so they can read them through later in their lives. 

What should a wedding gift cost?

Our wedding gift suggestions have many ideas for gifts at different price levels. A well-intentioned gift doesn't have to be expensive, and when thought is behind the action, it is usually well received. The most important thing is that the gift is given with love and that it is based on genuine interest in the newly married couple.

An old rule of thumb in relation to gifts is that you spend the same amount as the cover price per head. Therefore, if the cover price per head is DKK 500, you should spend roughly the same amount, and if it is higher, you should adjust it. But this should just be a guide, as it can quickly add up if the bride and groom have invited you to a very fancy wedding. Most people choose to spend between DKK 500–1,000, but a gift should always be given with the heart to bring joy, and the price is always secondary.

It also depends on the relationship you have with the bride and groom. If it's a sister, son or good friend, you'll probably want to spend a little more on them. If, on the other hand, it's a colleague or a distant relative who is getting married, then the budget doesn't need to be as high. At the same time, you also need to consider what you have been invited to. Have you been invited to a reception or are you going to the big after party? You are generally not expected to bring the biggest and most expensive gift if you are just invited to a wedding in the church and to the reception afterwards.

A practical gift for the home

The wedding day is one of the important events in life. For many people, this is also the day that marks the transition from living alone to moving together as a couple for the first time. The newlywed couple will therefore certainly appreciate receiving gifts for their home that they can use in their everyday life.

There are many good wedding gifts in the home category. For example, you can give a beautiful new dinnerware set that they can start collecting. If you find the plates and glasses that the couple like best, you can be sure that the gift will bring pleasure and practicality to their everyday life. It is a good idea to give them a set that provides them with a minimum for two, four or six people. Dressing gowns are another really useful gift. To give the gift a romantic touch, you can buy one for both of them, so they have matching robes. That would be a fun gift to receive.

Can you give knives as a gift to the bride and groom?

There are many traditions and superstitions when it comes to weddings. Ideally, the bride should wear something new, something old, something borrowed and something blue, and she is the only person at the wedding who is allowed to wear white. In Denmark, there is also a tradition of cutting off the top of the groom’s socks  as a symbol that he may no longer engage in any shenanigans when he embarks upon married life. Old superstitions also say that knives should not be given as wedding gifts. This originates from Catholic countries where a knife in a wedding gift will cut the bond of love or displace love. Whether you or the bride and groom believe this, it's up to you, but it may be a good idea to check with the couple first before buying knives for them as a wedding gift.

Wedding gifts for couples

When you buy a wedding gift, it’s a good idea to find one big gift for the couple together – after all, they have just got married and need to share everything. But some people also choose to buy two gifts, one for the bride and the other for the groom. It can sometimes be both easier and more fun to find two separate gifts that are for each gender.

No matter how you choose to do it, it means a lot that you have made an extra effort to find a gift for the bride and groom. The wedding ceremony is something completely unique and for many, a lifelong dream that finally comes true with the one they love the most in the world. Sharing the important day with the couple and contributing to their shared happiness is never forgotten. So when you’re looking for the perfect wedding gift for the couple, him or her, it’s all about following your heart. If you do this, the couple will surely love your gift and appreciate your effort.
