Cheap Wedding
Gift
We all know that money doesn't grow on trees and weddings
can be expensive espeically with the redit crunch
looming. Not of all of us are made of money
etc. The point is that sometimes we want to give a wedding gift
but don’t have any or much money. We need to give a great
wedding gift that is also a cheap wedding gift.
Yes, it is possible to give a nice weddig gift that is still
within most people's budget range. If you are
artistic, you are certainly ahead of the game. If the couple is
just starting married life, they will need everything including
home accessories. If you can paint, you can give them a gift
that they will love and honor for a lifetime. Landscapes are
always popular and fairly easy to paint. You might paint a
landscape of their honeymoon spot. That would be truly
special.
If you can draw, they would love a portrait of them as an
engaged couple. Through the years this drawing will remind them
of how young and happy they were. If you are crafty, you might
frame the drawing for them. If not they won’t have any problem
spending the money for a good framing.
If you are more crafty than artistic, there are so many
cheap wedding gifts you can make. If you are into folk art and
so is the happy couple, you could make them a 'Welcome to our
Happy Home' sign to put outside their new home. They will be
thrilled. If you are a quilter, you can make them a small
quilted throw to put on a sofa or chair. You can use scraps you
already have in your sewing room and the gift will cost next to
nothing but your time.
If you are neither artistic nor crafty, you have to use
your ingenuity. If the new couple is moving into a new
home, give them a card with a coupon inside saying, 'as
soon as you move in, I am going to plant some flowers for
you in honor of your marriage.' Who wouldn’t love flowers?
The flowers cost very little and again, your time is cheap.
If you have been friends with the couple for a long time,
you probably have plenty of candid shots of them. You could buy
a cheap scrapbook kit and give them the gift of a memory. Your
scrapbook will depict their courtship and their friends. You
may even start the bride on the road to scrapbooking herself.
You never know.
If you can sew, you can create some perfect but cheap
wedding gifts. If the couple needs curtains, offer to make them
as a wedding gift. Ask the bride what colors she would like and
the style she would choose. The most important thing to
remember is to make curtains that the bride will like. Forget
your own taste. After the curtains are finished, hang them
also. Your friend will love you.
Creating your own presents is a gift of love. You are giving
a part of yourself along with the cheap wedding gift. The
couple will always remember you and your gift.
