What to give a colleague for a wedding from the team?
Employees in the workplace may be different, but there are always those with whom wonderful relationships and even strong friendships develop. In the event of holidays, colleagues present each other with pleasant trifles and congratulations. When a significant event happens, for example, a wedding, you need to know what is best to present to a colleague from the team on this special day.
Choosing the right gift for newlyweds
If you need to give a colleague for a wedding a gift from the whole team, then you should look for something special that could show the attitude towards the young couple, the love of colleagues and friends. There can be many options, but it is important to know where to stop. If colleagues are well aware of the life of the bride or groom, then choosing the right gift will not be difficult. Otherwise, you need to look for something universal. The most suitable option would be household appliances, which are ideal as a presentation to an employee from the team. It is best to give:
- blender;
- mixer;
- multicooker;
- microwave oven;
- electric kettle
Many people choose to start their morning with a cup of coffee. The coffee machine will complete the list of possible wedding surprises.
All these devices will come in handy for newlyweds who are just starting their life together, and therefore the lack of technology will become very noticeable. In the event that colleagues work side by side with the bride and groom and know them well, you can give more valuable equipment that will be useful to a young family, these are:
- vacuum cleaner;
- television;
- food processor;
- photo camera and camcorder.
These are just the main options that can serve as a wonderful gift for newlyweds and make their living together more enjoyable. In the event that there is no desire to donate equipment, or everything has been bought from the future family for a long time, you can go the other way and please on your wedding day with a gift such as:
- set for tea or coffee;
- crystal wine glasses;
- vases of different materials for flowers and decor;
- ceramic or porcelain figurines;
Employees at work will not be mistaken if they present young people with a sconce or an original table lamp as a gift at a holiday.
A wedding gift should be of some kind, and therefore it is necessary to approach its choice responsibly, knowing exactly what the bride and groom have and what they need. Let such inquiries reveal the secret of the surprise, but the gift received will definitely be to your taste and will be used for its intended purpose. In this case, gifts such as:
- furniture, it can be a chest for things, which is placed in any of the rooms;
- bedside table or nightstands for the bride and groom;
- a chest of drawers for a couple's common things;
- an ottoman for rest or temporary accommodation, if the future family is just moving to a new place;
- a kitchen set of table and stools, which is important for newlyweds starting a life together in a new apartment.
To make the house always warm and cozy, you can please a young couple with things you need in everyday life, these are:
- synthetic winterizer blanket with a beautiful pattern;
- warm blanket on a sofa or bed;
- beautiful tablecloth for the dining table;
- carpet for the room, if necessary.
The choice of any of the gifts must be accurate so that the newlyweds do not have several identical gifts after the wedding. Colleagues can make an equally important and necessary contribution to the happy life of a young family by choosing the right gifts for this.
What to give to the groom and what to the bride?
When you need to come up with some kind of gift for your colleague on your wedding day, it is worth remembering the gender difference, because gifts for a woman and a man will be radically different. If we are talking about a girl with whom the team is on good terms, then an excellent gift would be:
- a set of bath towels and a bathrobe;
- a set of bed linen with a suitable pattern and color scheme;
if you want to make a special present, you can pick up a set for a romantic evening from beautiful glasses and an ice bucket, which makes the taste of champagne even more pleasant.
If there is a desire to please the couple, then you can purchase two beautiful bathrobes and embroider the initials or names of the future married couple on them. If there is not enough money for such a present, you can replace it with personalized T-shirts with the words: "Her husband", "His wife" or any other. If a gift is selected for a guy who has been working in a team for a long time, then you should thoroughly approach the selection, because men respect worthwhile and necessary things from which you can get benefit and use. In this case, you can choose the following option:
- a book of the family, in which some information will be written about the groom, his parents, sisters and brothers and about everyone whom colleagues know, and the rest of the pages will be filled in by a married couple, after which the book will be passed on from generation to generation;
- if the groom loves outdoor recreation, kebabs and dishes cooked in the open air, then a barbecue set, a grill pan and everything that is useful for such a family vacation would be an excellent option;
- if a man has any hobby, colleagues can support him and please him with an appropriate gift, the main thing is that the future spouse shares this hobby.
If colleagues want to please the newlyweds with a large and memorable gift, then the best option would be a trip to Europe or a tour to the couple's favorite city and stay there for some time as a honeymoon.If there are not so many employees who wish to congratulate a colleague on their wedding day, then it will not always be possible to organize a chic gift. A symbolic present that can be arranged in this case is a romantic photo session of two people in love, which is paid for by the team.
Modest, but also memorable will be cups with photographs of the bride and groom in halves of hearts, which together make up a big heart, which is a symbol of their strong love. If each of the employees wants to present their personal present for a colleague's wedding, then you can order the printing of fridge magnets, where everyone will choose their own photo, which will mean something important for a colleague who will have a wedding.
Gift for the leader
A special case will be the option when the wedding is not planned by a colleague, but by the management. In this case, the gift to the manager should be selected much more carefully so as not to anger him and not lose his job. Of course, not all bosses are evil and demanding, but it just so happens that the team will definitely not joke with them, especially in the case of a wedding gift. So, you can present to your boss:
- a commemorative dish made of metal or ceramics, where the company logo will be engraved;
- a lover of painting will like a standing picture, it is desirable that it be painted by one of the more or less famous artists, even local ones;
- a leader who loves punctuality and does everything on time can be presented with a beautiful and rather expensive wristwatch;
- an antique lover will like an antique table or wall clock, it is desirable that they have some kind of original mechanism or design;
- for a boss who often contacts high-ranking officials and signs various agreements with them, it is worth presenting an expensive pen or a whole tabletop set with two pens.
All of the above options refer to the case when the leader is far enough from the team and has little contact with him. As a result of this situation, all wedding gifts will be exclusively of a working nature.
If the relationship between the management and subordinates is different, then the gifts may be completely different. For a boss who spends a lot of time with employees, knows a lot about them, as they do about their boss, you can give them for a wedding:
- a family photo album, in which there will already be several photos received either from the boss or from his chosen one;
- decorative pillows with photographs or inscriptions, it can be a photo of the bride and groom or their names, as well as phrases about love and fidelity;
- to wish the newlyweds prosperity and material well-being, you can present a money tree.
To please the manager and his soul mate on the wedding day, you can shoot a video with congratulations from each employee of the organization. A much more interesting option would be to read a specially written poem or even perform a song prepared for the occasion. Such work will not go unnoticed and will remain in the memory of a young family for many years.
What shouldn't be presented?
There are gift options that they try to refuse, when it comes to weddings, these include:
- forks;
- knives;
- needles;
- mirrors.
All these things are considered harbingers of quarrels and discord in the family, which means that they have no place at the celebration of the combination of the souls of two lovers. In the event that the future family is already expecting a replenishment, it is not worth purchasing things or other items for the baby. Many parents do not make such purchases before the birth of a child, considering it a bad omen, therefore such a present for a wedding will only upset them. Those who do not believe in omens may simply not approve of the chosen color, design, material, which means that the money for the gift was wasted.
Those colleagues who wish to please future parents on their wedding day can donate money that the newlyweds will dispose of at their own discretion. You should not start organizing an event for a colleague without first informing him. Newlyweds often plan each part of their holiday themselves, and therefore interference from the outside can be perceived negatively, even if it is done from the heart. It is also undesirable to choose gifts that will be perceived ambiguously by the newlyweds:
- garments such as a lace bedding set or revealing pajamas;
- accessories for mating games, if there is no certainty that they will be needed and perceived correctly;
- household items (pans, pots, bowls) that tune in to a boring life devoid of joy.
The choice of a gift should be planned and selected only with the consent of a colleague. It is not necessary to disclose the exact version of the presentation, you can only clarify whether the groom or the bride will not be against any specific options, and choose the best one.
Such an unusual gift will be remembered by the hero of the occasion for many years. How to do it, see the video below.
