Citizen Watches are great gifts for the bride, groom and wedding party
Wedding season always makes us think about gifts for the ones we love. So, since we're The Wedding Chicks, we thought it’d be nice to talk about wedding day gifts today (though, let’s be honest, this gift recommendation absolutely works for the holidays, too).
Citizen watches are a fantastic gift idea for brides and grooms, alike, and they’re the perfect present for bridesmaids and groomsmen too—because, truly, no one wants more throwaway apparel or kitschy trinkets that they’ll wear for a hot minute and then never look at again. Like, ever. We’ve partnered up with the team at Citizen to put together this list of always-timely wedding day gifts to celebrate the loves of your life on your best day ever. If you are coming from Facebook or Instagram, you can check out Citizen Disney watch collection here.
Time spent together, it’s what you value the most
You might very well have some prized possessions, but when it comes to what you cherish most in life, it’s time spent with your favorite people on earth—isn’t it? That’s why we’re absolutely smitten with a gift idea like watches for your wedding day. Whether you’re giving one of Citizen’s stunning light-powered watches to your soon-to-be husband or wife or the friends and/or family members in your wedding party, you’ll be getting something that ticks all the boxes. 1)
It’s something they can use to amp up their wedding ensemble (especially the guys) 2) It’s something they can use in their wardrobe on every day forward and 3) It’s something that can be extremely thoughtful, too, when paired with sweet sentiments about how long you’ve known each other, all the fun times you’ve had in your history, and what you look forward to in all the years to come.
So, give the gift with a card that obviously shows how much time you put in
A Citizen watch is meaningful to begin with, but if you can wordsmith a card that starts off with some variation of “We’ve been in each other’s lives for approximately X days, X hours, and X minutes…” you’re bound to draw them in and, essentially, make time stop as they’re reading through the words you poured your heart out with to ensure they know how much you care.
If you’re gifting your partner, you’ll bring all the feels if you start like this:
“I’ve loved you for X days, X hours, and X minutes”
If you’re gifting your sibling, you’ll bring all the laughs if you start like this:
“Dad used to say there would come a time when we’d get along… and I never believed him until X day” (when your love/hate relationship finally became one-sided, in the right direction)
If you’re gifting your best friend, you’ll bring all the smiles if you start like this:
“You became my bestie/ride or die X days, X hours, and X minutes ago”
If you’re gifting your mom, you’ll bring all the tears if you start like this:
“I know you always want to turn back time, but on my wedding day, at X years old, I’m still and always will be your little girl/baby boy…”
Watches so dialed-in they made their day
Wedding day gold… or rose gold, or silver, or stainless steel
“Bought this as a wedding gift for my husband. He loves it!”
“Wife gave this watch to me on our wedding day, since then I wear it practically everyday. Looks great with a suit or when dressed down.”
“It's better looking than I had anticipated. I bought it specifically for my wedding suit and it was striking.”
“I bought this watch for my wedding, and as something I will continue to wear. I am so pleased with the finish, and quality of this piece. The band is comfortable and easily adjustable, the mechanism holds time well, and the initial setting of the watch is intuitive even without directions. Every time I wear this, I get compliments.”
“I bought this as a gift for my fiancé. He loves Citizen watches and owns several. He loves everything about this watch, and plans to wear it for our wedding, as red is one of our colors.”
“This watch was a wedding anniversary present for my wife. Wanted to give her something that would be a reminder of this day in our married life. Suffice it to say, it was the perfect gift and she wore it proudly when we went to our special anniversary dinner that evening.”
A mission that aligns oh-so-well with your vows
Citizen’s brand philosophy is BETTER STARTS NOW: The simple belief that no matter who you are or what you do, it is always possible to make something better—and now is the time to start doing it. We believe that better and now are both infinite, and there is always a next ‘better’ and a new ‘now’ to pursue. A wedding means an exchange of vows. You’ll make promises to be the best versions of yourselves for each other. You’ll make promises to work on your relationship and your marriage tirelessly. You’ll make promises to never stop making time for each other; come hell or high water, you’re in it together forever. We can’t think of a better gift to give your bride or groom and/or the friends and family that have watched your love grow since the very beginning.
