Wedding season is fully upon us, and if you find yourself in the 25-35 age range, there’s a good chance that this time of your life will be filled with 2-3 weddings per season with a significant financial burden placed upon you to pick up the proper attire, gifts, travel accommodations and more. As such, purchasing opulent wedding gifts or personalized items may not be in your budget, but you simply cannot show up empty-handed!
Luckily, you can still give a meaningful gift that will resonate with the happy couple without breaking the bank. Here are a few of our favorite wedding gift ideas under $50 from Nanina’s in the Park.
- Tumblers
Small tumblers to hold cocktails and other libations are a great option for the couple’s new lives together. Spruce up your gift by adding the couple’s initials on the side of the glasses!
- Photo Album
As a close friend or family member to the bride and groom, you’ve undoubtedly collected your share of photos over the years. Why not arrange them into a photo album that the couple can enjoy for years to come? This is an inexpensive gift that will be a wonderful gesture of love.
- Orange Tree
Everyone gives flowers, why not give the newlyweds a true conversation piece for their new home? A mandarin orange tree will fill their home with the fragrant smell of citrus and they can enjoy the plant’s fruit year-round.
- Space-Saving Kitchenware
You can never have enough mixing bowls, so if you’re looking for a kitchen-themed gift for your guests, opt for colorful, space-saving kitchenware. These bowls stack inside of one another to save space in cabinets and provide optimal variety.
- Monogrammed Wine Glasses
This is a great option that the couple will get plenty of use of in the years to come. A wine glass set is a fabulous start, but give your gift a personal touch with a monogrammed design on the side of each glass.
- Candlesticks
Candlesticks are a great option for couples who love to entertain, and you can find endless options that can suit their sense of style.
- Personalized Stationery
This is another great gift that may not show up on a gift registry, but the newlyweds are sure to get plenty of use out of! Adorn the stationery with the couple’s names or initials to make it all their own.
- Monogrammed Coasters
Coasters are a necessity in any home, so make sure your gift has added visual punch with a monogrammed design of the couple’s names or an image that speaks to their interests.
- Ring Dishes
This has become a trendy wedding gift option that is perfect for the cash-strapped wedding guest! A his and hers set of ring dishes can adorn their nightstands for years to come and keep their wedding rings in a safe place each night.
- Picnic Basket and Blanket
Last but not least, make sure that the newlyweds always have the opportunity for a romantic date with all the tools they’ll need to hold a picnic outdoors! A picnic basket and blanket combo will see plenty of use in the years to come!
