Whether you're a lifelong friend of the couple or a casual colleague, choosing the perfect wedding gift in Singapore can feel like an art. If they're starting a new home, planning exciting adventures, or love celebrating with timeless luxury, finding the right gift allows you to have a mini celebration with the lovely couple.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
Check in with the couple regarding their gifting preferences. If they say they would prefer cash or no gift, it's important to respect that. Similarly, if they have a registry, follow that to a T. However, if they haven't specified and you're feeling a little in the dark about what to get them, you can use our suggestions below as a guide.
Keep the gift receipt! With many family and friends blessing the newlyweds with gifts, there is bound to be some overlap. So, do ensure the gifts you purchase can be exchanged, just in case someone beats you to it!
If you're unsure, just ask. You definitely don't want to buy a gift the couple doesn't want or need. Especially for big-ticket items like home appliances or luxury goods, you want to make sure they actually want it before making the expense.
