Wedding Presents That are Worth Giving

While June and December are the two preferred months for weddings, we offer a host of ideas that are apropos for giving newlyweds at any time of the year.

One of the challenges people face when friends or family members are about to be married is what exactly should they give as a wedding present. In recent years, there have been a number of amusing stories wherein the married couple receives several identical presents, or – especially in the case of couples marrying overseas – they worry about how to hand carry home a lot of bulky presents from their guests.

We have a few ideas that can help minimize these little bothers and, we hope, will make the newlyweds think highly of you and your thoughtful present.

Give them a present that is timeless, unique, and useful

While it is nice to get the married couple an au courant gift they can use for their new life together, some gifts are so unique and timeless that they will be happy to use these regularly and, later pass these on to the next generation. Dinnerware, is a classic example; it’s something that people can use for a long time. Plus points, of course, if your plates and glasses are wonderfully bespoke; beautiful as well as functional. In which case, consider a set of our beautiful Grapefruit Service Plates paired with our Berries Mini Plates to dress up tables for special occasions, or consider our latest line – the Sardinia Collection – for dishes to make everyday dining wonderfully festive.

Check if They Have a Registry

Bridal registries for many shops are there to ensure that couples get precisely what they want and that guests can find items within a certain price range. Registries also ensure that the happy couple only gets one of every item on the list with no repetitions.

If there are specific items you want to receive on your wedding day, PORTORO Interior can help you create the perfect wedding registry featuring products that you will surely love.

For Weddings in a Distant Location, Keep it Light

The problem with destination weddings is that you – as a guest – cannot (and should not) bring a gift that is too bulky for the newlyweds to carry home. One particular solution is to keep your gift lightweight yet still tasteful and welcome. Table linens, for example, are a better option than bulkier items for such events. Consider our Champagne Cocktail Napkin and Coaster Set to help them add an elegant nuance to their aperitivo hour at home and our Peony Table Linens to add subtle sophistication to their everyday table. Each set is beautifully packaged in PORTORO’s signature box which also doubles as a display case for your linen cabinet.

Ship them a Surprise

Still keen on larger items? Have your present shipped to their home address; it will make a nice surprise for when they come home from the honeymoon. At PORTORO Interior, we can also add a personal touch to your gift by way of an elegant gift tag or a personal note, as well as simple and elegant packaging.

Liven Up their Home Spaces

Add a hint of elegance to their new abodes by giving them charming home accents such as our Hanami by PORTORO Luxury Soy Candles to set a romantic mood, a bright and contemporary Carlo Moretti Murano Crystal Vase to serve as a centerpiece for either a coffee table or dining table; or a pair of plush Mezzanotte Velvet Cushions to add lush comfort to their living room.
