Weddings nowadays can be far from traditional. Many couples are getting married in new and exciting ceremonies that open the door for fun and creative receptions. If you are lucky enough to attend one of these novel weddings, let your wedding gifts be an extension of the ceremony and go beyond the traditional gifts of toasters and candle holders. Now I’m not saying you need to turn the event into a Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, but you may want to consider some of the following gifts if you go to a non-traditional wedding.

For the couple that is always at each other’s throats, why not get them a punching bag. It will allow them to take out any aggression they would otherwise take put on their better half. Think of it as a gift of home fitness and couples therapy all rolled into one! The bride and groom will love burning calories instead of contesting domestic violence charges and paying for marriage counselling.

If the newly-weds have a child on the way, as many children are born out of wedlock nowadays, a good gift to get them would be anything from the lollipop lane product line. Of course, you should be sure that the mother and father of the bride are aware of the pregnancy before you buy a baby gift. It would be a shame for the future grandparents to find out their child is pregnant because you gave a cradle as a wedding gift without doing your due diligence.

No matter what you end up getting the bride and groom, make sure it stands out as a gift they’ll remember and leaves no doubt that it came from you. Years from now when they are getting divorced, don’t you want them fighting over who gets to keep your gift in the separation agreement?
