The most welcome gift is still something the couple can really use: a cash gift, the wedding registry or a contribution to the honeymoon. But if you are looking for an original gift idea, choose something to be enjoyed during the party, like the photo booth, which leaves every guest a printed photo.
The classic gift: cash, wedding registry and honeymoon
Let’s start with the truth: most couples appreciate a cash gift or a contribution to the wedding registry and the honeymoon. It is not a cold gift: it gives real help to two people starting a life together. To make it more personal, add a handwritten card or a small object that tells the story of your friendship.
What to give the bride and groom if you are the witnesses
Witnesses usually give a different gift from the other guests, often bigger or more personal. The ideas that work best:
- An experience for the couple: a special dinner, a weekend away, a course to take together.
- A keepsake of the day: something that makes the party even better for everyone.
- A gift from a group of friends: to go for something more important.
The original gift everyone enjoys: the photo booth
If you want to surprise the couple, give them something to enjoy at the party. The photo booth takes and prints pictures: guests strike a pose with fake glasses, signs and props, touch the screen and in 10 seconds they have their printed photo, with the couple’s names and the date.
- It is a gift for the couple and for all the guests, who go home with a keepsake.
- It fills the waiting time, for example while the couple is away for their portraits.
- The couple doesn’t have to think about anything: we set it up and a member of our staff is always on site.
- Prints are always unlimited: nobody has to count the shots.
It is given with a personalised voucher for hours of photo booth, hand-delivered or sent by post. Just one thing: check the date first, because available dates are limited. You can see how it works on the page about our wedding photo booth in Grottaminarda, Ariano Irpino and Avellino.
Not just weddings: 18th birthdays, graduations and golden anniversaries
The same goes for other important celebrations. For an 18th birthday, a graduation or your parents’ silver or golden wedding anniversary, a gift that involves every guest is worth more than one more object to find room for at home. To find out more about how it works and when to use it, read what a photo booth is and why choose it.
