What to avoid in comic congratulations
If you decide to congratulate the newlyweds in an original way, then it is advisable to avoid certain topics at the wedding. You should not give gifts with obvious erotic hints. You must always adhere to the bounds of decency. Of course, you can make some naughty hints, but don't go overboard. Therefore, you should not give underwear and similar erotic gifts, since in this regard, not everyone has the same sense of humor.
Therefore, for humor, choose simple and understandable topics that will be easily perceived by all categories of guests. If you have no ideas, then just read family jokes, they will help you find things that can be used in everyday life for other purposes. It is from this that you can begin to write your own comic congratulations, which will delight both guests and newlyweds. After all, a wedding without humor is quite boring, so try to add your own drop to the general pot of fun.

What should you not give to newlyweds?
After the engagement, the newlyweds begin to think about every detail of their future marriage.
All superstitions and signs are taken into account, to which previously the newly-made bride and groom might not have attached any importance. Now, when it comes to the happiness of their future family, newlyweds listen to the advice of their parents and grandmothers, among whom gifts are given special importance.
If the newlyweds did not tell the wedding guests about their wishes regarding gifts, then it is better to independently inquire about what should be given. It happens that a guest at a wedding, unknowingly, can purchase a very beautiful and expensive gift, which is included in the list of items with a “bad” meaning.
Therefore, it will not be clear to him why the smiles of the newlyweds were distorted after the presentation of his gorgeous present. To save yourself and those getting married from an awkward moment, you should avoid several items.
The top anti-wedding gifts are as follows:
- watch. The movement of the hands on the clock mechanism symbolizes the remaining time until divorce, the death of one or both spouses, as well as their separation. Giving a watch for a wedding is considered the most unfortunate gift. Such a gift is not given not only on the wedding day, but also on name days, since on the day of giving the clock begins counting down time in the opposite direction, leading to misfortunes;
- mirror. A gift of a mirror, be it from an antique shop or the creation of a fashion designer, can develop narcissism and selfishness in one or both spouses;
- sharp and piercing objects. No matter how luxurious a set of cutlery you see in a kitchen utensils store is, it’s still not worth buying for a new couple. According to superstitions, any object with a pointed edge will bring discord and quarrels into the everyday life of a married couple. The same applies to swords, daggers and blades, which could decorate the interior of the future family “nest” in the opinion of the invited guest. Under no circumstances should they be presented at a wedding;
- pearl jewelry. Jewelry made from pearls is often worn by brides at their own wedding, as snow-white jewelry harmonizes perfectly with the dress and imparts femininity to the image. Despite this, natural stones, according to signs, are endowed with the opposite meaning and entail tears in family life;
- Kids' things. Superstitions associated with the birth of children are especially important for expectant parents. Under no circumstances should you buy or knit things for your unborn child, either on the wedding day or before his birth. The same applies to strollers, diapers, cribs and other equipment for newborns;
- photos. Framed photographs of the newlyweds may symbolize their imminent separation;
- antique items. Antiques always look presentable, as they not only have a high cost, but also have a unique origin. True, over the years of their existence, these objects could have absorbed the negative energy of their owners, which could have a detrimental effect on future spouses;
- gift with voids. Any vases, wallets and suitcases should not be presented with empty space, as this is associated with poverty. You can fill them with the same composition that is sprinkled on the young - coins, sweets, rice and rose petals.
If gifts with a “bad” meaning were nevertheless presented to the newlyweds, they need to give the donor a few coins, which will symbolize the purchase of the product. This way you can cheat fate a little. Gifts for a wedding may not be suitable not only because of superstition.
Some gifts can become completely inappropriate, even if the giver had only the best intentions. Among them:
- pet. In addition to allergic reactions, young people may have personal hostility or lack of a place to keep the animal;
- presence of a price tag. Even if the gift is very expensive, you should not emphasize its value with a label with numbers;
- bauble. Typically, newlyweds know the financial situation of the invited guests and do not expect people with average incomes to give expensive gifts. However, this should not be abused. The present may look inexpensive, but it should not look like an unnecessary thing.

Money picture for a wedding
Money picture
At a Russian wedding, it is traditional to give a certain amount of money to help the young family get back on their feet faster. A picture made of money is a great way to combine a material gift and a creative approach to its design. To create such a gift you will need a sheet of plywood or hardboard, a beautiful frame of a suitable size, paint, varnish, as well as banknotes of various denominations. If you plan to depict a picture using coins, it is better to choose foreign metal money, which will help preserve a certain material value.
The money picture can also be assembled in a framing workshop. During the manufacturing process, banknotes of different denominations will be placed under the glass.
Don’t forget to accompany the picture decorated with money with good wishes and humorous signatures under each bill. For example, “For the car”, “For diapers for the firstborn”, “For the honeymoon” and so on.
