Best Wedding GiftsWhat are the best wedding gifts for a german wedding? Don’t worry, the gift expectations in germany are not much different from them in USA although
the german wedding traditions
might be a bit different. Here are my top 5 wedding gift ideas. 1. Safe and easy: choose an item of the registryMost couples in germany prefer a gift registry and usually arrange wedding gift tables in special stores. Buying a gift from such a table brings you to "the safe side".Buying one of the most expensive items means, you buy them a wedding gift they really dream of. Whether you organize other guests to participate or you are wealthy enough to invest in such an item on your own, you'll make their dreams come true. 2. Pragmatic: Money!Of course money seems uncreative and impersonal. But also in Germany, money is one of the most popular and best wedding gifts. Saving for something special – a car, a house, a piece of art is typical for most young couples. Money might also help them to pay for their wedding, have an extraordinary honeymoon or pay back their student loans.While it's not usual for a couple express money wioshes directly, it is never rude to give a money gift. To involve a personal touch combine the two: attach a check to a a kitchen gadget, wonderful picture frame, or a long letter detailing your advice and wishes for their future. 3. Luxurious: Hotel Room
Make sure that reservations have not already been made and ask the bride's mother or the maid-of-honor. This type of gift you should give early to ensure that they can include it in their plans. 4. Classy: A gift to stand the test of timeThis could be a bottle of fine wine or scotch with instructions to open on their fifth anniversary. Wonderful is also a piece of art, a gorgeous vase or antique piece of furniture. Give a gift on which the couple can look proudly and say "Our friend Tom gave us that for our wedding."5. Individual: Personalised Wedding GiftsIf you know the couple good enough - you may consider also a personalised wedding gift.
