Weddings and homemade gifts don't really come off to be the perfect alliance. Gifts made by hand have the reputation of being cheap, unattractive and boring, and there is no room for items like that at a marriage ceremony. Well this does not have to be the case when it comes to your present. With a little time, creativity, and talent you can actually give something that is memorable and meaningful. There are tons of homemade wedding gift ideas that can be thought up which the bride and broom would be overjoyed to receive. All you have to do is come up with them.
The married couple will be making a new home and life for themselves after the wedding (that is if they haven't started already), so that means they will be in need of some house warming presents that will make their nest more welcoming. Knowing that, you now have a plethora of gift ideas that you can sew up which would make them adjust better to their new lives. Some examples are a throw blanket for the end of the bed or couch, place mats for the table, or some curtains for the bathroom window. Any of these would fit perfectly in a new home.
If you don't have the time or skill to make home decor from a sewing machine then how about mending store bought ones. You can always buy a generic item from a store and spruce it up a bit by personalizing it. For instance you can buy his and hers kitchen aprons from the store and stitch in the names of the recipient or a love adage in the front part of the cloth.
Engraving wedding gifts is also another way to go. You can buy something on the couple's registry and have their initials or the date of the wedding carved in the body of the item. If you are not experienced with this type of procedure have a professional do it for you.
A great homemade gift for the wife who is domestically challenged would be a cookbook of some easy but delicious dishes. You could compile a list of foods you think she may like and put them in a simple to follow format for her to learn from. Design the book creatively and make it durable by laminating it or making it a hardback.
Money is also another highly anticipated "homemade" gift that any young married couple would be happy to receive. It may not exactly be straight from the hands, but it is straight from the bank which is also a dear place for many people. If you want to give money, but want the delivery to be more impressive try buying a bank card and put a generous amount on it, or you could just get them a wedding gift card [http://www.giftgrease.com/wedding-gift-card.html] that will let them choose whatever gift they want. The choice is yours.
Whatever homemade wedding gift you choose to make, alter, or design you must put a full hearted effort into it. You don't want the gift you give to be forgettable and tasteless, but rather memorable and cherished by the couple for many years to come.
