Looking for a wedding gift? The I do, the first dance, the hands that won't let go of each other all evening: a wedding is full of moments you only experience once. That's exactly what makes choosing a wedding gift sometimes harder than it seems. Another kitchen appliance or an envelope with money can quickly feel a bit impersonal next to such a day.
A personalized gift does justice to the occasion. Below are five ideas that say something about the couple themselves, instead of just ticking something off the wedding registry.
1. Where it all began
Not every wedding gift has to be about the wedding day itself. The where it all began city map poster captures a different, at least equally meaningful place: the city where the couple met, or the place where they got married. You design the poster yourself in the live editor, with your own text and the place of your choice, in a shape that suits their interior: round, in a heart or square.
Beautiful as a gift that honors the place behind their story, instead of just the day itself. Price: from €21.95.
2. The star chart of the I do
It gets even more romantic with the star map poster when it all began. This poster shows how the stars were aligned on the day of the wedding, the proposal, or the first meeting, based on the date and location. Add your own text and choose a style that suits their interior.
For those who would rather not have faces on the poster, but do want a tangible reminder of the day itself. Price: from €21.95.
3. Two locations, one story
Newlyweds don't always come from the same place. Sometimes the wedding location is also far from where it all began. The love map city map poster brings two locations together in one heart: the city where they met and the place where they got married.
A beautiful idea for a destination wedding, or for a couple that bridged a long distance before finally coming to live together. Price: from €21.95.
4. Their milestones in a row
A wedding usually brings a whole story to light: the first date, the engagement, maybe a move or a child together. The our story timeline poster puts those milestones in a row in one minimalist overview, with your own dates and icons, with the wedding day as the temporary finale.
This gift works just as well years later, as an anniversary gift, with the timeline simply being updated. Price: from €21.95.
5. A drawing of their wedding photo, or engagement photo
For a drawing of the wedding couple themselves, there is the wedding portrait poster. You upload a photo, choose the style and see the result on your screen within about 60 seconds. Available in two styles: a soft, colorful watercolor or a fine pencil sketch in black and white.
Of course, you only have a real wedding photo after the wedding, so this gift also works very well as a surprise afterwards or as an anniversary gift. Would you rather give something now? Then it can just as well be an existing photo, for example of the engagement. Which photo works best, you can read in have a wedding drawing made: how it works. Price: from €29.95.
Why a personalized gift for the wedding couple works
You design every poster above yourself in a live editor, so you can see the result on your screen beforehand. There is no proof print or waiting time involved: order, approve and it's delivered within 1 to 3 business days. Each design is also personally checked before it is printed, so the composition and sharpness are always correct.
By default, every order is wrapped as a gift and delivered ready to give. If you choose a poster with a frame, the framing service is free.
