Destination Wedding Gift Etiquette

Have you recently RSVPd “yes” to an upcoming destination wedding in the Bahamas of your close friends? While that can be a fun experience, you may wonder, since you are traveling (and that’s likely to cost a good amount of money) do you also have to purchase a gift?

This is a rather tricky subject. After all, on average people traveling to another location is already spending about $888 – how in the world are you supposed to get an expensive gift, too?

According to wedding etiquette – the answer is a resounding yes. Now you have to figure out what to buy.

If you need some help, consider the tips here.

1. Shot Glasses

Why not get the wedding couple something that will help keep the party going? That’s exactly what shot glasses have to offer.

This particular gift set includes two shot glasses, pocketknife, and a drawstring bag. What’s even better, is that it’s small and will easily fit in your carry-on bag. For just $34.03, you’ll find this is a great deal, too.

2. A Membership to a Wine Club

Why not give a gift that you don’t have to worry about packing and taking along to the exotic destination where the wedding is taking place? While it wouldn’t hurt to take a few along, it’s a good idea to make sure there’s enough room in your suitcase.

It’s also a great gift for someone who may not be well versed in wine but who want to learn.

3. Tassel Towels

Everyone needs towels, especially newlyweds. Why not get some that are not only plush and soft, but also with a little flair? This is just what tassel towels have to offer.

Be sure to check out the towels in person before ordering them, you never know when you may accidently order something that is low quality and that won’t make a good wedding gift.

4. Photo Frames

Photo frames are slim, easy to pack, and offered in a huge selection of styles, colors, and sizes. This means you can find something that matches the style and décor the couple has in their home.

A great option to consider is a pressed glass frame. These are unique and come with a copper, nickel, or brass frame. You can even order a few photos for the bride and the groom to have the frames ready to display when they get home from their honeymoon.

5. Embellished Throw Blanket

Do you want to give the new couple something that will ensure they have more than a few cozy moments? If so, then giving the gift of an ultra-comfy new throw is a must. Try to choose something that has fun embellishments and patterns, which will help to liven up any sofa or chair. Also, choose one that’s plenty big enough for two.

What’s even better is that these blankets are easy to pack, and you can find them at a range of prices from $25 to $100 or more depending on what you want to spend.

While etiquette dictates that it is necessary to purchase a present when attending a destination wedding, it doesn’t mean you have to spend a small fortune. Take some time to consider the gift options here, which make great gifts but that are also affordable. This will also make packing for the event easy, since most of the things on this list will easily fit in your suitcase or your carry-on luggage.
