The daughter’s wedding is no less significant than her birth. In the bustle of the wedding, it is important not to forget to prepare a gift for your daughter - just for her, and not the general present for young people that you will present on your wedding day. The present for the daughter is also the desire to pamper her (because from now on this care will fall on her husband's shoulders), and the manifestation of parental blessing, and tradition.
Traditional gifts
If we turn to traditions, then one of the gifts to the daughter-bride from the parents can be considered a dowry. However, to be fair, this is not so much a gift as a contribution to the still not equipped life of young people. They began to prepare a dowry already when the bride was still a girl. Family treasures, table and bed linen, cuts of elegant fabrics, dishes, cutlery were placed in the treasured chest with the dowry.
These brides can also be presented with the same items so that it is easier for her to equip her family nest. Today there is no need to save a dowry, because everything you need can be bought without problems in one day. In this case, it is important to focus on the tastes of the daughter, to ask her about how she sees her home with her husband. Even better is to go choose a dowry with the bride.
In old families, especially well-to-do, on the day of marriage or the day before, the mother passed her daughter a family jewel. If you have one, present it to her. As an option - you can give some kind of jewelry that has not so much high material value as a great sacred value. In extreme cases, you can buy a new piece of jewelry, bequeathing your daughter to make it family.
It is better to present this daughter’s wedding gift from her mother tête-à-tête, accompanied by instructions that will help in family life. You can go for a walk with your daughter, go to the spa, or just cook a home-made gala dinner. The goal here is not just to convey the jewel, but to secrete, bless.
Instead of jewelry, if the family is a believer, you can give a prayer book, the corresponding icon to the house of the young, so that it protects the newly made family. But you can’t give your own pectoral cross: it is believed that this can convey your fate.
Instead of family jewelry from father and mother, you can present gold and silver coins, which depict wedding plots and motifs, will turn out symbolically. Coins can also be passed on to the next generation, while their value will increase.
Modern gifts
Even if you are not going to follow the traditions, giving your daughter and bride something that will help her in family life, will be useful or will remind her of her parents.
If funds allow, it's time to present the girl with an apartment, a cottage or a car. This will turn out to be a good present not only from a practical point of view (a young family can immediately celebrate a housewarming party or use a donated car), but also from a legal one. Since the gift was received outside of marriage, the spouse will not officially be able to claim it. Of course, your daughter should not talk about such details, but at the same time, your parental heart will be calm.
A good gift is household appliances, and it is better if they are units that facilitate female labor: a slow cooker, a vacuum cleaner, a dishwasher, etc.
It is difficult to consider a bedding set as a gift for a daughter getting married. At the same time, for a married couple - this is the right present. Get out of the situation by completing the bedding set with a beautiful peignoir for your daughter or a certificate in the underwear store.
A good gift option is a set of dishes, but let it be a large and expensive service that you can use on holidays. A cutlery set, for example, made of silver, with engraving will also be suitable. You can put on the devices the names or initials of the young, the date of their wedding.
If you want to make a more practical gift and present dishes for everyday use, it is better to purchase a gift certificate. A newly-made spouse will take great pleasure in choosing dishes for her home.
Almost every girl will be delighted with a set of good cosmetics, perfume or a certificate in the store where you can buy them, especially since after organizing a wedding and family life, the girl may not have free money for such purchases.
Original gifts
In general, any (well, or almost any) present can be made original by carefully considering how to present it. For example, you can give a couple of tea, or you can add it with a small tray on the legs. These traditionally serve breakfast in bed. So you can subtly hint to your future son-in-law what your daughter's awakening and morning meal should be.
Another interesting gift option is the genealogy book. You can purchase ready-made options or create your own design by ordering an advertising publisher to implement the idea. Such a book will become a real family heirloom, and its filling will bring together the newly made spouses and their family, because when filling out the pages of the book, you will need to get acquainted with relatives and find out their stories.
Money can not be called an original gift, but this gift, without a doubt, is necessary for a young family. However, even they can be presented in an original way. To do this, you need an indoor plant with small fleshy, rounded leaves. People call it "money." To branches of a money tree it is necessary to tie the notes rolled up in a tube.
Original presentations include certificates for various services and events.This can be a certificate for two (for example, on a honeymoon or a trip to a restaurant of a newly made bride and groom) or only for a daughter (a certificate in various shops, beauty salons, a photo studio, etc.).
One of the most popular gifts is, of course, the organization of a honeymoon. It is important to choose the route of travel taking into account the characters and preferences of a young family. You can originally present a certificate for a trip or tickets by adding a globe to the gift. In that place of the globe where the young have to go, their photo is fixed.
Another option is to organize or financially support the organization of a bachelorette party. As a rule, a girl has to spend her “hard-earned money" on him. Such care and financial support from parents will be very helpful.
