This Is Precisely How You Step Up Your Wedding Gifting Game

We’ve always been the ones to say that money (whether in cash or check) makes the best wedding gift. And we don’t really have to explain the reasons, either. Weddings cost a lot, adulting and living out that happily ever after do, too, so adding to the newlyweds’ post-nuptials bank account is a no brainer. That being said, there’s also a connotation with money — in that it can be rather impersonal and, dare we say it, a bit uninspired? So, what do you do when you want to give the couple of the moment something valuable, a sum that they can spend however they wish, but also something that’s meaningful and thoughtful on your part. You check out Tinggly, the team whose mission is to change the culture of gift giving around the world - from gifting material things to gifting experiences. After all, the just-married pair provided an experience for you when they invited and welcomed you to share in their special, once-in-a-lifetime affair: It’s time to return the favor! 

Let’s throw out the old script, shall we?

A rad registry find is fine for the shower, but not for the wedding

Look, we won’t throw any shade on the traditional wedding registry. Yes, couples who have lived together for a while before getting married probably do have all the “home goods” they need. But that doesn’t mean that they can’t level up their living situation when they take the next level in their relationship and get engaged. Kitchen gadgets, bedroom linens, hosting accoutrements, all of them are great and will be well received. However, they’re a lot more expected at the engagement party, the bridal or couples shower. After their wedding, a couple just wants to chill and look forward to the honeymoon (if there is one!) — they probably don’t want to be opening any gifts, accumulating more cardboard boxes in their home, and worrying about where to put said household effects. They already did that a month or two ago and they’re over it. 

Money is magic, for sure, but beyond the practicality - meaning is sort of  👎

We’ve all been there, gearing up to attend a wedding and failing to remember that we’ll need to bring a gift (okay, yes, it’s not mandatory, but it’s common guest courtesy). We’ll write out a check that morning and enclose it in a card or we’ll run to the bank en route from the ceremony to the reception — I’m totally guilty of doing it. It doesn’t even matter how close friend/fam member or colleague-like you are to the couple, either. You’re liable to leave the monetary gift to the last minute regardless of your relationship. Beyond that, when you’re in the midst of deciding what amount to give, you’re probably concentrating on a number and whether it’s “enough” or not. Personalization and sentiment don’t really play out here.

Gifts that commemorate the wedding day itself are cute, of course, but gifts that celebrate the start of a brand-new life together are even better

Somehow in the last few decades, we’ve gotten into this “Once the best day ever is over, things just go downhill” mentality. And yes, the post-wedding blues are real, every couple will feel them in some capacity simply because planning a wedding and being in the “spotlight” for the entirety of an engagement is a BFD. That’s why gifts that move past the wedding day and provide fun and enjoyment and a sense of fanfare and festivity for the couple as they embark on this new chapter of life together are 👌 in our minds. Stepping up your gifting game means celebrating the couple’s marriage and commitment to each other for the long haul, not just the wedding event. Whether it’s gifting them with a “Just Because” two-day trip whenever they need a “timeout” from life or finding an experiential romp that they’ll remember forever (because it involves their favorite pastime or activity together. Or maybe even because they would have never ventured out of their comfort zone if not for your urging!).
