Unique Wedding Gift Ideas

Your house is probably already fully stocked with mis-matched plates you've acquired from your random roommates over the years…and if luck has it, you'll be acquiring your grandmother's china set you've been admiring over the years…okay, that's probably a stretch but perhaps you just don't want anymore items to squeeze into your kitchen. If the idea of spending your Saturday afternoon walking down every aisle trying to determine the new color scheme for your kitchen sounds about as fun as receiving the food and beverage bill after your wedding, it might be time to think of unique wedding gift ideas for your guests to give you on your big day.

There's a few websites that exist primarily for this reason, but if you're dealing with a bunch of guests who aren't very tech-savvy, you can stick with ¨tradition¨ and create a gift registry at some of your favorite non-kitchen stuff stores complete with unique wedding gift ideas.

If you and your soon-to-spouse love the outdoors and have been eyeing a new set of sleeping bags or a new tent, create a registry at REI or your favorite outdoor adventure store. If art is your thing and there's no way you'll ever be ever to afford your favorite piece, create a registry at your favorite art gallery…just don't add too many items to the list.

For your close friends, it is appropriate, no matter what Martha Stewart says, to let them know exactly what you want by putting together a wish list and sending it to them via email…and having them coordinate among themselves what they'll be buying so you don't get two of the same thing.

If you've gone to all the trouble of making sure your wedding will be unique, you might as well tell your friends about your unique wedding gift ideas…and get some gifts you really want!
