Finding the best wedding gift for the happy couple is no easy task, so in this section, we'll answer your most common questions.
What is the best gift to give on the wedding day?
If the newly married couple has a wedding registry, it's always best to buy something from it. You can find the registry on the wedding invitation.
If they don't have a registry, homewares, home decor items, and kitchenware are all great gifts. A gift box or hamper is also a great gift. Hampers ensure that the bride and groom get a nice selection of gourmet goodies to enjoy together.
What are some common wedding gifts?
Wine glasses, glassware, wine, kitchen appliances, gadgets, gift cards, bath towels, and fresh linens are some of the most popular wedding gifts. Contributions to the honeymoon fund are also very popular – especially for a couple that already lives together.

How much money should be given as a wedding gift?

What should I give my best friend on their wedding day?
Your best friend's wedding is a momentous occasion. The perfect wedding present, of course, is your underlying support and the promise that you'll step in if anyone dares to take the attention off of your bestie and their bow.
