Five Wedding Gifts That Will Truly Delight Your Bride-to-Be Friends from a Bride's Perspective ♡

2018.04.28 published

＼Congratulations♡／ A dear friend's wedding＊

Heartfelt joy at receiving engagement and wedding announcements from friends.

When I receive such happy news, I want to send a wonderful gift filled with the sentiment of "Wishing you happiness♡"

Popular wedding gifts include:

☑ Pair of tableware

☑ Home decor items

☑ Chopsticks

But… I'm worried about gifts overlapping since they will likely receive many wedding gifts from acquaintances and friends.

Let's give select items that only a bride would choose♡

Therefore, I recommend wedding gifts from "senior brides-to-be" who have already experienced engagement and marriage.

Because they are already advancing in wedding preparations, they should know what items would make someone say, "I would be so happy to receive this♡."

I've gathered gifts that will be useful not only in married life but also during the wedding preparation stage before the ceremony＊

【Budget: 1,000 yen】 A truly delightful wedding gift① Francfranc ring photo frame

If you want to give a small gift for engagement or wedding, I'd recommend the ring photo frame from the interior goods shop 'Francfranc.'

This photo frame is designed to look like a large engagement ring with a big diamond set in a gold ring♡

I hope they will display a photo from the proposal♩

The ring photo frame is attractive not only as a photo frame but also as a photographic prop.

Photos taken with a perspective shot through the ring of the bride and groom have become popular♡

If you tell them, "You can take such pictures!" they would be delighted♩

The diamond comes in two colors: pink and clear. If you give a set of two, it can also be used as a sign at the reception on the wedding day.

☑ As a photo frame

☑ As a prop for pre-wedding shoots

☑ As a reception sign

It's truly a three-fold benefit item♩

It’s particularly well-known among brides-to-be, but friends who just got engaged may not be aware of it. I'm sure they would appreciate it♩

The price is 1,080 yen (tax inclusive) each♡

【Budget: 1,000 yen】 A truly delightful wedding gift② Couple's amulet

The couple's amulet, which prays for marital bliss, is also recommended as a wedding gift.

Recently, cute couple's amulets inspired by hakama and shiro-muku can be obtained at various shrines.

Particularly popular is the 'Yorisohi-Mamori' from Nogizaka Shrine in Tokyo, which can be obtained for an initial offering of 1,000 yen.

However, as amulets are not products, they cannot be mailed, and the only way to obtain them is to visit Nogizaka Shrine.

Since they are not easily accessible, they would be very much appreciated as wedding gifts for friends living in distant places♡

Let's present it by saying, "I prayed for your happy future together!"♡

Couple's amulets can be worn as charms and also displayed in the welcome space at the wedding or used as props for traditional costumes during pre-wedding shoots.

It's recommended to tell them, "Please use it when you do your traditional costume shoot!"♡

【Budget: 2,000 to 5,000 yen】 A truly delightful wedding gift③ Bridal handkerchief

A bridal handkerchief to wear on the wedding day is also a delightful item to receive as a wedding gift.

It's something that must be prepared by the day, so receiving it as a wedding gift would be very welcome＊

They would likely be pleased to receive an original bridal handkerchief with their friend's initials embroidered on it.

Popular brands include:

☑ YLINUM

☑ CLASSICS the Small Luxury

☑ Barneys New York

Choose one that suits your friend's preferences and budget♩

Embroidered initial handkerchiefs can also be prepared starting from around 2,000 to 5,000 yen.

【Budget: 5,000 yen and up】 A truly delightful wedding gift④ HACCI collagen drink

HACCI collagen drink is the go-to beauty drink for brides♡

It's gaining popularity due to word-of-mouth, claiming that drinking one per day improves skin condition leading up to pre-wedding and the actual day!

They use high-quality royal jelly and honey from their own beekeeping, so it reportedly tastes delicious.

At about 600 yen per bottle, it's slightly pricier for a beauty drink. For that reason, it would be very much appreciated as a gift♡

Here are the prices＊

☑ 9-bottle set: 5,184 yen

☑ 20-bottle set: 11,448 yen

☑ 30-bottle set: 17,172 yen

Since it has an expiration date, if you want them to drink it before the pre-wedding or wedding day, be sure to consider the timing of when you give it♩

【Budget: 10,000 yen and up】 A truly delightful wedding gift⑤ Matching inkan

The last item I’d like to introduce is the 'OsoROI-nkan,’ matching seals for couples♡

Women adopting their husband’s surname will need to replace the seals they have been using.

Pairing seals as a memento of their shared surname can deepen their sense of reality about marriage.

It’s a great wedding gift idea for friends who have not yet bought seals＊

The OsoROI-nkan allows you to customize a phrase inside the case. Whether it's a special date, a commitment between the couple, or wishes for the future...

I’d love to think of a delightful phrase wishing for my friend's happiness♡

Additionally, like the ring photo frame and couple’s amulet, the OsoROI-nkan is also popular as a prop for pre-wedding shoots＊

Starting from 11,000 yen for a pair, it would make a lovely wedding gift for a dear friend.

Choose wedding gifts from a bride's unique perspective＊

I have introduced wedding gifts that friends will appreciate as they prepare for their upcoming weddings♡

All of them are practical items popular with brides-to-be. These gifts can enhance the joy of experiencing the big event of marriage even more＊

It’s also a point that you won’t overlap with other friends’ gifts◎

For those struggling with what to give as a wedding gift, I hope this serves as a helpful reference♩
