Our Favourite Tips To Help Ensure Your Wedding Gift List Is ‘Just Right’ - Sweet Gibraltar Weddings
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing managerAmid all the other aspects of planning
your wedding – some of which may cause you real stress – an element of
organising your nuptials that you are likely to enjoy, is putting together the
wedding gift list with your sweetheart. It might even feel like being a kid
again!
On the other hand, there may be certain
aspects of compiling your wedding gift list that you find daunting. Maybe
you’re worried about the impression you might give to those looking to buy
gifts for you, if your gift list is ‘too long’ or seems to have a lot of more
expensive items?
Here at Sweet Gibraltar Weddings, we
really don’t want you to feel intimidated by the task of assembling a wedding
gift list – so, let’s take a look at some of the things you can do to make your
own gift list perfect for you, your beloved, and prospective attendees of your
wedding.
Mix things up in terms of prices
We touched on this a little above; it’s
best not to only include pricier items on your wedding gift list, not
least because your would-be attendees will differ in terms of their own
budgets. So, ensuring a nice spread from inexpensive to pricier gift ideas on
your list will help make it fair and accessible to everyone.
We’re sure you won’t want to put any
pressure on your guests to spend more on you than they can afford – but also,
some attendees with deeper pockets may actually want to buy you
something a bit more expensive. So, it’s a good idea to present options to suit
all budgets.
Don’t worry about your gift list being
‘too long’
It’s not as if there’s a rule stating that
every item on your wedding gift list has to be purchased, so there’s no need to
feel guilty about having a list that might seem a bit on the long side.
A lot of couples worry that a lengthier
wedding gift list might make them seem a bit rude or greedy – but if anything,
a longer list just gives your attendees more options.
As we mentioned above, your guests are
likely to vary in terms of how much they are able to spend. So as long as
you’ve got a good variety of price points represented in your wedding gift
suggestions, this will give your guests more possibilities for what to buy you,
as well as give you a greater element of surprise by making the question of what
you will receive less predictable.
Give your guests enough time to buy for
you
This might seem an obvious enough tip to
some of you reading, but some couples can definitely be guilty of creating
their wedding gift list far too late.
Remember, after all, that certain items
can be harder to come by than others, and some guests will be in a tighter
financial situation than others. So, not everyone may be in a position to
purchase something for you the moment you confirm your gift list to them.
As a guideline, we would suggest you have
your wedding gift list ready about six months in advance of your ‘big day’, so
that everyone has ample time to buy something for you.
Hopefully, the above will have given you a
decent appreciation of some of the things you most need to be mindful of when
you are putting together your wedding gift list. It is, of course, just one
aspect of getting
married in Gibraltarthat you will need to think about, but it’s also not one
you will want to get wrong.
