Cool wedding gift ideas that break all traditions

Weddings call for celebrations of love and togetherness. On their special day, gift the couple with something cool and left-of-centre as they start their new life together.

Gifts have been given at weddings for centuries, and it is customary for those invited to a wedding to send the new Mr and Mr. a gift to help them celebrate their new union. Even if you are not able to attend the wedding in person, you can still gift the lovely couple.

These days, it does seem more commonplace for couples to request monetary gifts. While there's nothing wrong with that, it can still be a nice sentiment to add a physical gift toward their future together. The rules now however are that normal registry items like pots and pans are pretty much a no-no. That's because couples tend to have lived with one another for a while first before tying the knot and therefore don't need those household items.

So think out of the box and get them something they'll appreciate, use or just smile over.

      Hi Margaret,

      Thank you for leaving a question.

      Though we have articles relating to “Cool wedding gift ideas that break all traditions” we could not provide a specific product recommendation. You may check on restaurants near your location that may fit the purpose you need. The experience gift we have on the article provides experiences which break tradition which you may check further. Hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Reggie
