Selecting unique wedding gifts and cards isn’t much of a challenge if you’re trying to please both the bride and groom. “Couple” gifts are usually the most common wedding gifts offered. You know…housewares for the kitchen…. a toaster, can opener, and steak knives.   And, who spends the most time in the kitchen?  Generally, it’s not the man of the house.

I suggest, if you really want a unique wedding gift, purchase something that will please the groom.  I ask a few future grooms what they would like to receive as a wedding gift.  Here are a few of their suggestions.

*  Tools –   You almost need a hammer right away to hang photos of your wedding on the wall.  So, a few tools is a great idea.  A hammer, a set of screwdrivers, and pliers placed  in a simple tool box is a unique wedding gift and will be greatly appreciate by groom.

*  Ex. Large Towels –  Guys like towels that are large enough to dry off their larger physique.  They want a towel they can comfortably wrap around their waist and tuck the corners in.  This casual attire is the preferred dress for the shaving routine.   This is a great time to personalized your wedding gift.  A towel for her  as well as for him… with their names embroidered on the bottom.

*  A Bar B Q –  Ah haa!  They want to cook the burgers and steaks. If you are going to make this type of purchase, check to see if their apartment has a balcony or a place where the grill can be stored before you buy.    If you can’t afford the grill… Bar B Q tools are a great alternative  for a unique wedding gift.

*  A Cooler – Yes, I can see where a cooler would  be useful.   Purchase one that has a smaller cooler inside (double the value.)  The smaller cooler will come in handy when the groom attends football games.  And, it can also be carried on a golf cart.

There you go… a few unusual wedding gifts suggestions… that will certainly please the groom.

Now… unique wedding cards?   Well that’s a different story.  I never seem to have a wedding card on hand.  I have always wished I had one I could just print off on my computer.  Well, here you go.  I designed a few unique wedding cards for you to download and print.  Just right for those times you forget to pick up a wedding card.

Here are two choices… a set with a colored back ground and a set with a white back ground.   Wrap your gift and tape the card securely near the bow so it won’t fall off when the wedding gifts are loaded into the car.
