Immediately after receiving an invitation to a wedding celebration, the guests are faced with the question of a gift. Wedding presents differ from all others in that, on the one hand, they must correspond to the scale of the celebration, and on the other hand, they must carry a special semantic load. In other words, I want the gifts to be not only expensive, but also meaningful. In addition, at weddings you can often see comic gifts, which, of course, are given in addition to the main ones, but they are sometimes remembered and perceived better than "serious" gifts.

What can you give for newlyweds?
I must say that in different countries there are different traditions regarding congratulations in honor of the wedding day. For example, Americans make lists of things that they would like to receive. And they are delivered in advance. It's practical, of course, but predictable.
In Russia and neighboring countries, people are more sentimental. Here, not only the benefits and value of the donated are important, but also the meaning that the donor put in. It is better to prefer cheerful and funny congratulations to piercing words that can move and cause tears. Recently, the most popular gifts are envelopes with banknotes, less often - certificates for large purchases and household appliances. This entails a twofold feeling. On the one hand, it is economically justified. On the other hand, the donation process itself becomes a simple formality.
To make the bride and groom remember the beginning of their family life with joy, an envelope or gift certificate for the purchase can be supplemented with interesting surprises. They will revive the holiday itself and will remain in the memory of the newlyweds forever.

From parents
Even the most common household item can be perceived differently if it is accompanied by jokes and kind congratulations. This technique is usually used by the older generation - parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents. These gifts can be the most familiar items in everyday life.
- Rolling pin or frying pan as necessary things in the household and "arguments" during a quarrel.
- Umbrella - for good weather in the house.

- A broom or a bowl of soap - they usually come with vacuum cleaners or washing machines. Means that no circumstances, including a power outage, can prevent the maintenance of cleanliness in the house.
- A light bulb and washing powder - so that the feelings of young people are bright and clean.

- Vegetables and fruits - usually their names rhyme with good wishes. For example: cabbage - so that your wallet is not empty, garlic - so that your daughter and son are born, carrots - so that your mother-in-law and mother-in-law are friends, and the like.
Such items, as you can see, do not have to be expensive. Moreover, it will be better if you decorate them and place appropriate inscriptions on them. Several things can be folded into an opaque bag at once and taken out in turn, accompanying with sayings and jokes.

In addition to items that are useful in everyday life, experienced parents give things that symbolize family values:
- candles as a symbol of the hearth;
- paired figures of doves or swans, meaning love and fidelity;
- images of storks and cabbage are presented with a hint of the early appearance of children in the family.

Here family heirlooms are inherited - blankets, bonnets, christening shirts for the next generation. Many mothers love to keep the first things of their baby - they will come in handy in order to demonstrate to grown-up children how small they were. You can make slideshows from photos of your home archive and accompany them with pre-prepared funny comments.

From friends
It's no secret that after starting a family, many friends, especially single and unmarried, gradually fade into the background. Therefore, a video with congratulations in poetic or song form can be a particularly touching gift. Here you can show not only a sense of humor, but also creative abilities. Such a video message can become the highlight of the evening, if the bride and groom agree to show it to the guests. Such a show must be agreed with the wedding planner and included in the script.
If in a friendly company this wedding happened one of the first, from other friends and girlfriends it is quite worth expecting gifts with hints about the end of the "free" life. Warnings about the hardships that await newlyweds in the family are not excluded. Of course, such words should not be taken seriously. It is important here that the joke does not hurt the feelings of both parties.
And if you are giving an item of an intimate nature, you should not show it to other invitees.

Recently, musical greetings have become very popular. Friends can organize a flash mob with a selection of popular tunes. It will take several rehearsals to make it look coherent. The bride can join the girls' flash mob - then there will be a surprise for the groom and vice versa. At the end, the dance can be shared and the rest of the guests can be invited.
Just a few simple incendiary movements will make the holiday unforgettable for all its participants. Rap can be an alternative to reading out greetings. If you don't have any special talents, you can remake an existing song, giving it a special meaning.

Another interesting idea can be a practical joke. Depending on the situation, you can do it yourself, for example, ask acquaintances or hire actors. This may be the usual bride theft or the unexpectedly arrived “police outfit”. Moreover, there are special agencies that will help you make your plans come true.
To make sure everything goes smoothly, make sure that the rally is not offensive or drags on for a long time.

Original ideas
At the very beginning of the family journey, the newly-made husband and wife try to emphasize their new status. To support this feeling, guests can feel free to choose items designed for two.
- T-shirts with slogans. Instead of funny inscriptions, you can use an image, each half of which is located on one of the T-shirts. They will only look like one when the newlyweds are close or hugging each other. For lovers, cool pairing robes, slippers, mittens are also suitable.
- Bedding. This can include signed separate pillows for each of the spouses or one large blanket, conventionally divided in half, as well as bed linen with the same theme of the drawings.
- Dishes. The most interesting souvenir here will be one plate for two with different designs and paired cups, including those that change their color depending on the temperature of the contents.

- Certificates, diplomas and medals. A great alternative to postcards. You can make them yourself - for this you will need a suitable text, which can be beautifully designed in any available editor, and then laminated. For a medal, you will need a beautiful ribbon or braid, and if you don't have time, you can buy them. Such distinctive signs can be awarded not only to heroes of the occasion, but also to their parents.
- In addition to the previous point you can give out comic titles to close relatives of the newlyweds with the presentation of "documents". After receiving the title of the best mother-in-law, relations between newly acquired relatives will become better.
By the way, so that the memory of the wedding remains not only among the newlyweds, but also among the guests, they can also be presented with comic certificates. For example, for the right to visit or drink tea in the home of the young. I will also like my husband's trip to football with friends at any time.

- Bouquets. Almost every guest goes to a wedding with a bouquet, since it is flowers that are associated primarily with something solemn and festive. In order not to be trivial, instead of flowers, a bouquet can be made of sweets, tea, fruits, vegetables or alcoholic beverages. Such a present will last much longer, and besides, it is not only beautiful, but also useful.
And to make the process of deployment and use more enjoyable, you can hide notes with funny parting words in your future family life among the content.

- Portrait or cartoon - this is what will really become a decoration of the family nest. Such a surprise can be ordered in advance, since most artists can paint a portrait from photographs or directly on the wedding day. Caricature services are not so expensive, and he can portray not only newlyweds, but also invited guests. Already finished works involuntarily bring a smile and cheer up.
All of the above gifts can be given both on the day of marriage and on subsequent wedding anniversaries and anniversaries. Little things like this will serve as a good reminder of the feelings that a husband and wife have for each other.

How to present a present with humor?
In the process of giving, it is not so important what to give, it is more important how to do it. Even money can be presented in an unusual way. There are several ideas for this.
You can make a tree from banknotes. This can be a decoration in the form of a paper craft or a real seedling in a pot, to the branches of which bills are tied. A living tree can be played up as an illustration of a proverb about what a real man should do. In addition to planting a tree, you can give a brick (to the beginning of the construction of the house) and a children's toy (for the future son).

A cash gift can be arranged as a treasure. For this you need a small pot. Paper bills are stacked at the bottom, and coins are poured on top to make the pot really heavy.Such a gift will certainly cause surprise and laughter. To make the top layer of coins look especially original, you can specially prepare small coins from other countries. If it is problematic to get such a quantity of little things, they can be replaced with toys, chocolate or other "treasures" in the form of cheap jewelry and rings.
This idea can be used to organize a kind of quest. The newlyweds themselves can search for the hidden treasure. A competitive spirit can be created by dividing guests into the groom's team and the bride's team. To search, you can use maps or systems of hints in the form of notes hidden in different places.
Of course, in the end, the treasure will end up in the general budget. In addition, such a game should be coordinated with the host and take little time so that the guests do not get bored.

Following modern trends, you can make an ATM layout. You can simply put bills in it so that the newly-made husband and wife get them in difficult times. Or equip it with a simple mechanism with a spring that works in this way: when any plastic card is inserted into one hole, money starts pouring out of the other. Such an unusual way will definitely be remembered. And the ATM itself can be used later as a piggy bank.
The money cake looks very nice. To make it, you need to make two, or preferably three, layers of cardboard equal to the height of the banknote. The amount that you have planned to donate must be exchanged for smaller banknotes. The diameter of each layer will depend on their number.
Each bill must be rolled up with a loose tube and wrapped in a transparent rubber band. Then tubes are installed around each tier and tied with tape so that they do not disintegrate. For stability, all three tiers must be connected to each other. To decorate such a cake, you can use bows, natural or artificial flowers.

If you love making something with your own hands, you will definitely love the idea of another cake. It will consist of pieces that are hollow inside - it is inside them that you can put money, as well as nice little notes. The newlyweds will definitely appreciate your efforts and will be happy.
Adults also love colorful balloons, especially if they contain money. Together with banknotes, confetti can be poured into each ball - then the bursting process will be especially bright.
