New York Wedding Gifts

Wedding gifts are a snap in the great state of New York!

Looking for the ideal gift for members of your wedding party, or searching for the perfect present for that special bride and groom? Maybe you are overwhelmed when it comes to deciding where to register? The New York Wedding Gifts Guide is here to help.

New York Gifts for the Wedding Party

They've thrown you a kick-butt bachelorette party, squeezed themselves into lime-green dresses and even flown across the country just to stand by you on your special day -- the least you could do is give them a fabulous New York gift to thank them! Couples celebrating in one of New York's famous vineyards can treat their wedding party to gift baskets made up of New York wines and personalized wine accessories. Looking for a gift that says elegance? Bridesmaids and groomsmen alike will be delighted to receive signature sterling silver jewelry or keychains from New York City's legendary Tiffany & Co.

New York Wedding Gift Registries

Overwhelmed by your choices when it comes to deciding where to register? Remember that your guests will likely be shopping from all over the country, and would benefit from an easy-to-use online registry system. Crate & Barrel has a fabulous selection of kitchen items, china, decor and even furniture, all available both online and in their stores. As an added bonus, their return policy is extremely forgiving.

For a wedding gift registry idea that is unique to New York City, consider the world-famous ABC Carpet & Home, a registry favorite of celebrities and New York's elite. The enormous Flatiron District store is packed to the rafters with textiles, lighting, artisan goods, designer furniture and one-of-a-kind items from around the globe. Guests who are attending from afar can choose to purchase gift certificates to use towards specific categories of items.

New York Wedding Gift Etiquette

Traveling to New York for a wedding, and wondering what to give the bride and groom? Wedding gift etiquette can be a sticky subject, as customs differ all across the country. In New York, cash gifts are the most common gift for guests actually attending the wedding, and items from the couple's registry are certainly very appropriate. Registry gifts are also the typical gift to be given at a bridal shower, or as an engagement gift. Handmade gifts and crafts, while popular in some parts of the country, are not as common in the Northeast. Cash gifts are usually handed directly to the couple at the celebration, while registry gifts should be shipped to a couple's home. Remember to always use your own discretion and judgment when choosing a New York wedding gift.
