Just recently, dad took the baby and his mother from the maternity hospital, matinees in kindergarten, first-grader, prom, how quickly time flies, now the son is already a groom. Wedding troubles, fuss, and solving many problems are very exciting.
A lot of questions arise on the eve of such a big holiday. But one of them worries parents the most: what to give their son for his wedding? Remember that you should first give a gift that will be relevant to both newlyweds. Even if you decide to give your son something personal, then in this case it will be necessary to make two gifts, and the gift to your child should be secondary.
What to give your son as a wedding gift from his parents?
A wedding is one of the most significant and exciting events in the life of any person.
Therefore, the parents of the bride and groom have many questions regarding the organization of this celebration. A particularly exciting moment is choosing a gift. In this article we will look at options for gifts from parents to their son and offer various original ideas. Not original, but the most practical gift will, of course, be money. This is due to the fact that in the future the newlyweds will need to spend money and equip their home and make repairs. This gift is especially relevant for a couple who plans to soon have their first child. Also, if the newlyweds are unable to pay for wedding expenses, the parents of the bride and groom can partially bear them.
You can present a sum of money in various ways. Money can be put in a box or envelope, and words with an original wish or a request to perform some humorous task would be useful. Another gift option for your son could be house or car keys. True, not all parents have the opportunity to make such a surprise for their child’s wedding.
Can you give money?
Yes, money is always relevant. Especially when your newlyweds are completely independent and organize the wedding on their own. Money is very useful here. If you took an active financial part in preparing the wedding, then you can give a memorable gift. Money can be presented in an envelope or in a beautiful box, you can make a real money tree or a panel of money.
In addition, if the newlyweds managed the wedding expenses on their own, you can take on one of the expenses as a gift. For example, order a car for the newlyweds, decorated with white roses and balloons, prepare champagne in the back seat in satin ribbons, and with it a box of chocolates in the form of euros or dollars. Very romantic and unforgettable.
Gift Certificate
Currently, many stores provide the opportunity to purchase and gift certificates for the purchase of any equipment or furniture. If you don’t know for sure what kind of equipment or furniture the couple needs, purchase a certificate for a certain amount in the store, and the newlyweds themselves will be able to buy everything they need.
A particularly memorable event in the life of children after the wedding can be a trip or cruise for two to some countries. A trip to the sea can also include a wedding ceremony with vows in a romantic setting. Such a honeymoon will bring the spouses many positive emotions and impressions, and will also fill them with warm memories and joy even in the most difficult periods of their life together.
You can also give a certificate for a vacation in a sanatorium or spa center for two, diving training, a parachute jump, a hot air balloon flight, a trip to the mountains, or a river ride. Various extreme entertainments are perfect if newlyweds love to spend their time this way. But as a rule, such certificates should act as a pleasant addition to the main gift.
For the father and mother of the bride
In the old days, after marriage, a girl moved into the groom's family, so the number of workers in her own family decreased. Today you can play on this by giving the girl’s father and mother an “automatic assistant.” A great option is a slow cooker. For larger gifts, a dishwasher or washing machine, refrigerator, etc. are suitable.
The textile sets described above (bed linen, tablecloths, towels, etc.) will also be a good present. Beautiful dishes will be an equally symbolic gift. Show your concern for your parents' health - a heater, humidifier, massager or salt lamp will undoubtedly make them happy.
The groom can present his mother-in-law with a bouquet, and if she is interested in floriculture, he can give her a rare indoor flower. You can give your father-in-law elite alcohol.
Both the groom's parents and the bride's parents will be delighted with trips to a sanatorium, movie tickets, memberships to the gym, swimming pool, and philharmonic society. If funds allow, you can purchase a country plot for them, or even better, a dacha with ready-made buildings and plantings.
At this age, by the way, many people have dachas and literally live there. In this case, you can give them tools and equipment that make their work easier (lawn mower, automatic watering system). The presented grill for frying meat will also be successful. Gifts in the form of decorative elements would be appropriate: garden lanterns, decorations for flower beds, small forged benches.
Individual congratulations
It is quite acceptable, in addition to a general gift to the newlyweds, to make an individual surprise for your son. You can give cufflinks, bracelets, chains made of precious metals, family jewelry passed down from generation to generation, various memorabilia, as well as expensive watches or even a set of silverware. You can also focus on your son’s hobbies and hobbies and buy something that he has dreamed of for a long time, for example, a professional camera, a musical instrument, sports equipment, fishing gear, a modern gadget, etc.
A gift for a son's wedding can be given separately from his mother and separately from his father. If one of the parents has talents, then you definitely need to think through and organize such an original congratulation. For example, this could be a musical gift from dad or reading a poem of one’s own composition and singing a song from mom.
The main thing is to remember that love and sincere wishes on your wedding day will be much more valuable than any material gifts.
Tradition
A wedding is an event that remains in the memory. Therefore, a wedding gift must fully meet this criterion. A personalized gift for your son can be traditional.
You can donate jewelry. Cufflinks, a watch on a precious metal bracelet, a gold nugget – the choice is great. The main thing is to decide what you want to say with this gift. An old man's ring is given as a family heirloom. This item is kept in the family and passed down the male line on the wedding day.
Silver
Silver is considered the most magical of all precious metals. Silver is credited with the properties of protecting and healing humans. To give the owner of a young family a gift of silver means to give him the strength to protect it. Closely related stones to silver are jade, pearl and emerald. Pearls are not given as a gift for a wedding. It symbolizes mermaid tears. Silver items with jade and emerald will enhance the magical influence of the metal.

Gold
You should not give gold items if they do not have historical or religious value. On the wedding day, the newlyweds exchange gold rings. Therefore, purchased new jewelry will be out of place. In contrast, a gold amulet, an icon in a gold frame, or an antique piece of jewelry will emphasize your concern for the well-being of your young family.
