Summer is most certainly wedding season! Picking that toaster for the fiftieth time gets a little old. And not just for you- also for that lucky couple that is unwrapping their fifth (fill in the blank). I think it is time for some unique ideas all around- (thanks to real simple). Here we go:

1. Make the happy couple’s wedding invitation into something special that they can display . For example, a pillow, a decorative plate, a painting…

2. If you’re artsy , create an original piece of artwork. If not, you can purchase a print from somewhere like Etsy and frame it in a adorable frame! This will make their home fresh, original and cute!

3. Something for him- perhaps a tool kit. Who couldn’t use something like that as they get settled into their new space ? It’s a fun way to make the groom happy and a useful gift, too!

4. Monogramms! You can do this for really anything. You could do towels, sheets, table cloths, napkins, or really anything fabric. They’ll love it- particularly the bride! She will eat up seeing her new initials printed. 

5. Get them a individualized gift certificate. Somewhere local that the couple loves and in all probability wouldn’t indulge in themselves. 

6. Give them a(n) reason for a datenight. Movies, restaurants, or activity gift certificates work fabulously . 

7. And last but not least….a big fat check. It is expensive to get married and to start a new life …everyone appreciates this. Or even just some cash. There are a few times that it definitely isn’t tacky to give cash, and this is one of them. 

I hope these thoughts can get you through the rest of your wedding season! Good luck creating those new and fresh gifts! If you need a break , search our homes on  College Station Houses  or  Cedar Park Homes .
