1-5 Casual and Warm

While making a lasting lifetime commitment with their nearest and dearest is of the utmost importance, having a large and formal wedding reception isn’t a top priority. It’ll be a relaxed and informal affair, but commemorating the big day in a meaningful way is always appropriate. Consider offering a gift that allows them to focus on what they enjoy the most in life—whether it’s tickets to an event they’ll love or finding something that reflects a hobby they share.

6-10 The Adventurous Type

With this couple, you’ve learned to always expect the unexpected and you love it! They’re always trying new things and not afraid to stand out in a crowd. But how do you find a gift as distinct as a couple like this? Encourage them to keep trying new things by purchasing a gift certificate to an exciting new restaurant or contributing toward the adventurous vacation they’ve always wanted to take.

11-15 Heartfelt and Homemade

In a wedding like this, family comes first! They’re always trying to find meaningful ways to celebrate those closest to them, so this is the perfect opportunity to celebrate them. Try creating a photobook that catalogues their courtship or other personalized gift they’ll treasure for years to come, such as an engraved photo frame.

16-20 Classic and Elegant

Beautiful and timeless, weddings like these are elegant affairs rich in tradition and big on heart. Couples that enjoy hosting formal affairs may also enjoy entertaining in their home on a regular basis. Take a peek at their registry for beautiful serving pieces or china.
