Unique and Personal Wedding Ideas

1. For your coffee addicts, it can make sure the marriage starts out right by providing coffee for every month. Check out the many different gourmet coffee roasts at mouth.com. It is $180.00 for 3 months. Now that is how to make sure you have a happily married couple every morning.

2. Waterproof- Backed Outdoor Picnic Blanket for all those romantic picnics you have in the park, beach, or your own back yard. What an intimate way to build your relationship and have fun watching nature around you while you eat great food. You can get it with squirrels, rabbits, stags, or horses on it. Get yours at artsymodern.com for $62.00.

3. As the two shall become one, there may be different pets from both sides of the couple being combined in one home. There may also be kids coming from each side of the couple. You may also just be a couple very protective of your nice new furniture you recently purchased. A newlywed couple would be happy to accept the unique gift of Christophe Pourny Furniture-Care Kit from com for $115.00.

4. Make those large family gatherings for the holidays easier with this great wedding gift idea that can include their monogrammed initials on it, so it never gets lost. Get the All Clad Perforated Multipot from williams-sonoma.com for $150.00.

5. Be the only person at the Bridal Shower with the perfect, lasting, and best gift ever. The most unique gift to give would be a decorative and artistic Wedding Time Capsule from timecapsule.com for $44.95 FREE Shipping. This comes with special book for the bride and groom to fill out about their life, a how to guide, an ideas checklist of things to put in the wedding time capsule, and other appropriate paperwork. The most important thing in the wedding time capsule is the “Message to the Future” letters for family and friends to fill out at the bridal shower or wedding reception, leaving notes of encouragement or predictions about the couple’s future (like how many kids you think the happy couple will have). What a fun gift. Imagine the joy the couple will have when they get to open the wedding time capsule years later, reminiscing what life was like the first year they were married. Also, they will get to read all those “Message to the Future” letters years later, when the time capsule is opened, and see if your predictions about them came true.
