Your dearest friend is getting married, so wedding bells will soon be ringing. You’re frantic now, trying to make this the best day of his or her life while also fretting about the gift. Given that they already have all that money can buy, what is it that you might gift them that they would value most and keep for the rest of their lives? You want to surprise them with a thoughtful gift but you’re at a loss for ideas. The most thoughtful wedding present ideas are listed below.
-
Chocolate basket
You may create them a chocolate basket or a basket of other treats to enjoy while on their honeymoon. After the wedding, the newlyweds’ minds, bodies, and souls all need feeding, and this is the perfect present for that purpose. Fill it up with snacks and treats like crackers, chocolate, a bottle of great wine, napkins, paper towels, cheese, fruits, bacon pieces, and whatever else tickles your fancy. To prevent the wicker basket from tipping over, stuff it with clean hay or cotton at the bottom. Arrange the contents as you see fit, then cover the basket completely, including the handle and taping it closed at the end to create a pretty bow. The bow should be white with ringlets or flows and the wrapping paper should be blue.

Picture frame
Are you familiar with the phrase “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue”? That’s it; an antique picture in a nice frame would make a touching present for the newlyweds. An upgrade would be a frame covered in precious metals like gold, silver, or perhaps platinum. Check your closet, I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but I guarantee you will discover an item that you borrowed from a buddy a very long time ago that you can now pack up and give to them as a gift. And for the obligatory “something blue,” why not use blue wrapping paper? Now you know what to get them that will make them laugh and grin and think of you fondly every time they use it.
-
Video Album
Make a video album of the pair and their journey from childhood to marriage. Go out the old pictures and videos of them growing up separately up until the moment they first met. Go through their Facebook albums for pictures of them together, perhaps at a social event. Compile a slideshow of these precious moments. The couple would value your efforts to express your admiration for the way they complement each other.

There is a period of pre-wedding jitters for the bride and husband
Being there for them when they really need you is the greatest present you could give as a friend. Lend them an ear, lend them a hand, or just reassure them that everything is going to be well.

Serve as the official wedding photographer or event coordinator
Getting everything in order for the wedding takes nearly six months of planning. You can only imagine how freaked out the bride and groom would be if their families all wanted the same thing. Put yourself in their shoes and relieve some of their stress. Assist the couple in finding wedding attire, set up the ceremony and reception sites, manage costs, serve as the day-of emcee, and plan the bachelor and bachelorette parties.
