Fun, Frugal, And Meaningful Wedding Gift

I have decided to do a series on fun, frugal and meaningful gift ideas. 

For me it seems spring and summer are filled with more gift giving occasions than any other, short of Christmas! 

There are tons of birthday parties of course, and Graduations, Going Away To College, Weddings, Baby Showers, and more!  So, what better time to discuss some great gifts you can give?

I will have to begin by saying almost all of these ideas are shamelessly stolen straight from my Mother!  She is the ultimate gift giver and card sender!

Fun, Frugal, And Meaningful Wedding Gift

Fun-Frugal-And-Meaningful-Wedding-Gift-1
A meaningful gift can be quite simple and inexpensive

I remember as a kid and teen, going to the mall and thinking:  “Oh no, please let us walk past the card store…nope, here we go, right into the card store!”

She was not going in to buy a card for a particular occasion per say, but, to “look” at the cards.  Which really meant reading almost EVERY card in the ENTIRE STORE!  She had to pick the perfect card, even if it was going to be stored until an occasion that fit that card was upon her!  Anyway, I digress…

Since there are many summer weddings, let’s start there.  This particular gift was one I loved so much, she even gave it to me for my wedding.  I looked forward to the day I got married and received one.

She would hand pick a goblet, not one from the Bride’s registry, just one she felt was unique and could stand alone.

a gold goblet
Don’t be afraid to be the one that makes the bride cry!

It could be as unadorned or as elaborate as you like.  She would wrap it in tissue paper, in a box alone and enclose a card that read:

Forgiveness Cup

When harsh words have been spoken

And things seem to have gotten out of control

Take this goblet and fill it up

Present it as a forgiveness request

If your your mate drinks from the cup

Then you both will know

All has been forgiven

This is such a great gift, like I said my Mother is a great gift-giver.  I placed mine in a curio cabinet with the card standing in front of it.

You can find a great single goblet for not much money almost anywhere.  I have seen great ones at T.J.  Maxx and even a second hand store or garage sale!  Just look around and be creative.  Remember, it’s the thought behind the gift that counts!  This is what I call a great fun, frugal, meaningful gift!  Thanks Mom!

So, I will be doing a few of these fun, frugal and meaningful gift ideas over the coming days.   Time for you to share your fun, frugal, and meaningful wedding gift ideas with us!

A unique and budget-friendly wedding gift idea that will bring joy. Show your love and thoughtfulness with a meaningful gift that won't strain your wallet.
