*Quick! Panic Stations!* You have an Indian wedding coming up and you need a gift, ASAP…. but what kind of wedding gift do you give in an Indian wedding?
We hear your plight…. finding a perfect gift for the happy couple is quite the challenge! You want to choose something useful yet fun yet personal, all whilst making sure you are following proper wedding etiquette. After all, Indian weddings are steeped in tradition and expectation.
Well here at Wed·Set·Go, we have put together a selection of some unique and exciting wedding gift ideas that will help you sail through this portion of the Indian wedding without any stress.
# Jewellery: Giving jewellery is a common tradition in India when it comes to family members and close friends. Buying jewellery for the bride is an almost foolproof idea (emphasis on the word almost). IF you choose the right item of jewellery (assuming you have some knowledge of the bride’s taste), your gift will be worn countless times in the future during other special events.

# Couple watches: Watches are a popular Indian wedding gift, and a great way to mark the start of the happy couple’s (punctual) lives together (no “indian timing” here!). These watches remind the couple not only of their wedding day, but also of their better half who will be wearing a matching piece on their wrist.

For Indian newlyweds, just as in many other cultures, the couple will need certain items to set up their home together.

#Blender: A long-lasting gift that makes an impact on the everyday life of all health-conscious (or not) newlyweds. Everyone loves smoothies and cocktails. Hence, a blender makes an excellent addition to any couple’s new home. For those of you looking to be extra cheesy, in the wedding card don’t forget to point out that just as a blender bonds the ingredients, this wedding gift will bond the newlywed couple together.
