Summertime is very romantic time of year. It is perhaps for this reason that summer is the most popular season for weddings in many parts of the country. So if you find yourself looking for a wedding gift for a summer wedding you are certainly not alone. Summer weddings do offer a lot of opportunity for finding perfect wedding gifts that just would not make much sense at any other time of year. If you are looking for a special personalized gift for an upcoming summer wedding, here are some ideas and hints that can get you thinking summer romance!
Summertime Wedding Gifts for the Home
The most popular category of wedding gifts is always gifts for the home such as appliances, dinnerware, linens and all the things that the happy couple will need to get off to a great start in their new life together. When the happy couple is starting life together during the summer, why not turn to the great outdoors when looking for wedding gifts? After all, they are also starting a new yard and garden as well.
Celebrate with personalized gifts for the yard and outdoor entertainment. Some ideas include a powder-coated steel barbecue tool holder with the happy couple's married name. The tool set can hang on the wall of the house and keep tongs, spatula and oven mitts handy by the barbecue grill and make it clear who rules the barbecue pit.
Another unique outdoor wedding gift idea is a personalized steel hose carrier. Like the tool set, you can have the hose reel personalized with the happy couple's married name cut out of powder-coated steel, making it a unique and unusual wedding gift.
Don't stop with the house, though. Gardens are naturally romantic places and you can add to the romance with a hand-crafted stepping stone designed especially for the newly married couple's garden. Whether you chose a heart-shaped stepping stone and engrave it with the names of the bride and groom or a more traditional hand-painted stone engraved with their family name, you'll be giving a gift that acknowledges their new life and new home together.
For very special friends, or perhaps as a joint wedding gift from the entire wedding party, consider giving a Friendship Garden Bench engraved with a special poem and fitted with a brass plaque that can be personalized with your choice of message, like the wedding date and the names of the bride and groom, perhaps? It's a gift that will last for decades, declaring your friendship and your faith in the solidity of their marriage to whether all storms that may come.
Why confine yourself to buying garden ornaments when you can help define the garden itself? Choose a rose bush or a special tree at the local nursery and have it delivered at the right time for planting. Include a personalized garden marker to commemorate their wedding day and your wish that their love will grow stronger and bloom forever in the garden of life. Sappy it may be, but is there any better day for being sappy and romantic than your friend's wedding day?
Introducing the Bride and Groom!
Have a little fun with the bride and groom, and let them have a little fun together with matching t-shirts that announce their status as Bride and Groom to the world. Everyone deserves a little special treatment, and you can be sure that they will get special treatment wherever they wear their Bride and Groom t-shirts. Everyone loves a lover, after all, and you're just making sure that the whole world knows who they should be loving.
If you are part of the wedding party and looking for a very unique wedding gift for the bride and groom, invest a little time and planning into a wedding party event. Order baseball team jerseys printed with the bride and groom's married name on the front, and the names of the entire wedding party on the back. Get everyone together for a backyard barbecue or picnic, hand out the shirts and get a group photo that can be framed and presented to the happy couple as a wedding gift.
It doesn't take a lot to give a special, unique wedding gift that fits the theme of a summer wedding. Just think about the things that your friends like to do best, and choose a gift that can be personalized. You might give a set of personalized golf balls and tees to the avid golfers, a personalized barbecue apron to the avid chef and his helper or a hand-painted mail box to sit at the curb of their new home.
The most important aspect to consider when choosing a personalized summer wedding gift it to be sure it fits the likes and interests of the happy couple. A wedding gift that will be used is the best wedding gift you can give, and when you take their interests into account, you can be sure that they will use and treasure your wedding gift for years.
