A Toast to the Happy Couple-Wedding Present Idea & Easy Bow

Ever wonder what to give for a wedding or bridal shower gift? Living in Utah, we get A LOT of wedding invitations. I always shop from the registry because let's face it, they are going to love something they picked out, but I wanted something to make it have a little more personality. We recently had a shower for my hubs cousin and I came up with this wedding present idea.



There is always a toaster on the list and it is always kind of the joke present. You know, giving someone a toaster. So I ran with the toaster idea and made this toast card to go along with it.



I just found the toaster and toast pics online, added the words in Photoshop and printed it out on white cardstock. It reads, "Here's a toast to two amazing people finding love.



I think this may be my new go to wedding gift!

I also really loved this easy bow. Cut a whole bunch of strips of different ribbon, about 7 in long to match your wrapping paper. With a strip of tulle tie a knot around the center of all the ribbon to hold it together. Then, tie the tulle in to a normal bow like tying your shoes and spread out the other ribbons. Easy peasy!



Do you have a signature wedding gift?

That was a great idea. I am doing a bridal shower for my sis in law in the spring. Black and white theme with red accents to follow her wedding colors. I am looking for inspiration if you have any....

No. But I like your idea. Someone in our church gives out a plunger with a wedding cake couple at the top and something about taking the plunge.

That is such a cute idea! Now if I didn't intentionally skip all things wedding I could use this idea. ;-)

Michelle, you are full of good ideas! We actually only got one toaster for our wedding. It would have been that much cuter if we would have got a fun little card like that!
