Cash is considered to be too impersonal these days so the way to go with a wedding gift is a gift card. There are hundreds to choose from for the happy couple and one way to go is to pick a card for a store where the couple is listed on the wedding registry. If you do this, you can be sure that they will be able to use the card for something they want but there are other gift ideas which will work very well for the happy occasion as well.
Any young couple just starting out can surely use furnishings for their home. One of the best wedding gift card ideas would be to select one of the trendy home stores that you will find in any upscale mall. Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn and Havertys furniture are among the most popular. Restoration Hardware is another of the home furnishings stores that have unique items that will add a touch of class to any decor.
Kitchen stores are another great choice for wedding gift cards. Williams Sonoma is probably the leading upscale retailer offering appliances and cookware. Sur La Table is another store that features the finest in china and stemware for your home. If you think the couple might have a little more practical tastes then make the card for Bed Bath and Beyond.
Similar to Bed Bath and Beyond are home improvement stores where many young couples spend lots of money. Odds are the newlyweds may be redecorating now that they are married so a gift card to a place like Lowes or Home Depot will come in very handy. They can find paint, hardware and flooring at these locations. If it is a spring wedding, they can even use their card to the home improvement store to buy flowers to plant in their yard.
Restaurant gift cards also will work well for young couples who have just been married. After the honeymoon, money may be tight for awhile so they will be able to use the restaurant card for a nice night out without having to worry about busting their budget
