The Not-so-usual Wedding Present

When it comes to weddings it’s not just the bride and groom who are nervous about the big day. This special event causes stress for the gift giver as well. While the most traditional of weddings usually include a bridal registry where the happy couple has chosen the gifts they’d like to receive. What often happens is the items that you’d like to give or can afford have already been chosen and the bride and groom end up with multiple toasters.

So you’re stuck for a gift idea for the bride and groom. The bride has registered at an expensive department store; even that cute little salt and pepper shaker she has listed is twice what you can afford. The groom has lived on his own for years and is known as the “toast master” (No one can shmear a bagel better than him). The couple has been on their own a while; toasters, blankets and glassware are in abundance and the bride to be is having a yard sale to get rid of half of it. So what to do? You want to give a thoughtful gift that will be remembered long after the special day is over that isn’t the same old thing.

Money gifts are always appreciated, but rarely remembered. When considering unique gift ideas, think about a champagne of the month club membership from http://sendchampagne.com. It may be the most unique and thoughtful gift one can give to a newly wed couple.

Figure this; since the couple was so busy at their wedding reception, they probably didn't get to enjoy their champagne at all. Spending the day dancing, greeting guests and hugging grandparents; they never really did get a chance to toast to each other on their day.

A Champagne monthly club will let them celebrate their new life together long after the tuxedo rentals have been returned. A gift like this will be appreciated long after the Bride and Groom’s wedding day when they do finally get to share a glass of champagne without having to stop for social obligations and can celebrate each other.

Prices are reasonable starting at $255.00 for a 3 month club. These clubs come with a personalized certificate which lets the recipient know that they can expect a champagne delivery every 30 days for the next 3 months. They send some nice champagnes and sparkling wines too, including names like Louis Roederer, Veuve Cliquot, Moet & Chandon and Piper-Heidsieck. More expensive clubs seem to offer brands such as Perrier-Jouet and even Taittinger.
