While getting engaged is obviously the biggest party for the couple… it is so fun & special when your family and friends chime in with positivity, encouragement, excitement & fun! I’ll never forget everyone’s reactions when we shared the good news and it was absolutely a blast to celebrate at our engagement party! Gifts are never expected… but they do make things fun! π If you’re feeling generous & looking for gift ideas for the newly engaged couple in your life, here is a collection of some of my favorite gift ideas linked below:
The Bride To Be Book: a memory journal for the couple to fill out from proposal to “I Do” {link}
Bling Wipes: disposable cleaning wipes to use on the go in between cleanings {link}
Ring Dish: the more the merrier, you don’t realize how many times you actually take on/off your ring, so it’s nice to have a ring holder at the kitchen sink, in the bathroom, at your night stand… you do not want to risk it going down the drain! {link}
The Knot- Wedding Planner: this is my favorite wedding planner to date! The Knot thinks of everything and the notebook is laid out in the most organized, awesome way! I can’t wait to get started using it! {link}
The Mrs. Box: this is super fancy, but the ultimate ring keeper! After all you need a box that can hold your engagement ring & your wedding band! The box is totally customizable and you can add your monogram to the case! {link}
Anything Monogrammed: as a new couple it is so fun to see “your” initial displayed proudly all throughout your new place!
Christmas Ornament: an awesome personalized keepsake, especially with an engagement close to the holidays! {link}
Novelty Tee: this could always come off- goofy or obnoxious, but it’s fun to be engaged so fun tees, tanks, totes, ink pens you name it are all appreciated! {link}
THANK YOU NOTES: this is a very useful gift, I’ve already gone through so many!! & if you really want to go above and beyond- STAMPS! Millennials don’t keep these on hand and the post office has weird hours… {link}
Wedding Planning Magazines: Wedding inspiration! Honeymoon ideas! The latest trends! Something about having the magazine in your hands is much more fun than scrolling on the internet
Gift cards: from now to until the wedding the bride to be has to look good! Nail salon gift cards, Hair Blow Out gift cards, or just a Visa gift card in general is very helpful to the new couple and all of their new expenses along the way!
Tote Bags: a fun personalized way to keep up with all of the planning supplies… great to take out running errands- venue tours, wedding shows, the florist -you name it! {link}
Glassware: fancy glassware- monogrammed or Mr & Mrs, tumblers, mugs –we loved it all! {link}
Luggage Tags: much needed for all the fun to come as a couple π {link}
We also got some awesome keychains, picture frames, candles, flowers, texts, shout outs, greeting cards and this is all without a registry?! Spoiled! Just knowing that your family and friends care and are happy for you is the best! especially during such a pivotal life moment π
Dillon purchased my ring from Bailey’s in Raleigh, NC and shortly after our proposal the jeweler delivered this beautiful celebratory arrangement to my office!! Talk about customer service & such a thoughtful, sweet surprise! Another #BaileyBride perk for sure! π
