Create Beautifully Wrapped Wedding Gifts author:Abigail Beal source_url:http://www.articlecity.com/articles/family/article_213.shtml date_saved:2007-07-25 12:30:09 category:family article:
Weddings are always such special days.
Gifts are often given not only at the wedding but often at an engagement shower and a bridal shower.
How can you make your gifts look special?
Many people wrap gifts for weddings in white, but this is not a strict rule by any means.
You could also select gift-wrapping and accessories that complement the theme of the wedding.
So a winder wedding gift could look lovely in silver paper with silver ribbon tied in a bow with a snowflake ornament as an accessory.
A summer wedding gift could look stunning in deep pink paper with a thick pale pink ribbon topped with fresh pink roses (use white roses for a different look).
Another choice would be to select gift-wrap that somehow compliments your gift.
Are you giving the bride and groom part of their china place settings?
Select gift-wrap that has one or two of the colors from their china plates.
Different cultures have different meanings when gifts are given and received.
Red is often a color used in China to celebrate weddings, and many wedding gifts in China are wrapped in red paper.
In Italy, roses are a sign of love and happiness but carnations are a flower signifying a funeral.
Pay attention to any special cultural meanings when you are giving and then wrapping gifts for a wedding or any other special occasion.
Weddings are a special time and with a little care and attention you can select beautiful gift-wrapping that will compliment this festive occasion.
