What are some good wedding gift ideas for couples already living together?
For the newlywed couple who already lives together, it may be best to steer away from traditional gifts such as homewares, and consider experience-based gifts. This can include bespoke experiences like hot air ballooning, island snorkelling, wine tasting, skydiving and more – all which can be offered through a Best Experiences or RedBalloon wedding gift card.
What message should I write in a wedding card?
A sentimental day requires an equally sentimental wedding card message. A good way to approach your gift card message is to think back on memories you shared with one or both of the newlyweds, and reminisce on the good times you’ve shared together. It’s also a good idea to share your well wishes for the couple.
Here are some examples of wedding gift card messages to help inspire you:
- Dear x and x, it makes me so happy seeing both of you grow and take on the world together. You are so perfect for each other and it’s an honour to celebrate you both on your wedding day!
- Dearest x, it is my great honour to now call you a [daughter/son]-in-law. Thank you for making my [daughter/son] so happy. Love you.
- Dear x and x, after all these years of friendship, it makes me so happy to be here celebrating your day of love. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you both!
What are some thoughtful wedding gift ideas for the couple who have everything?
Whilst some couples may seem like they have it all, a thoughtful wedding gift is always appreciated! If you’re worried you may buy them something that they already own, you can put the choosing power in their hands with a Prezzee Smart eGift Card.

How much should I spend on a wedding gift?
Knowing how much to spend on a wedding present for the couple can be tricky, and is dependent on your relationship with the bride(s)/groom(s). With the costs associated with hosting a wedding being so high in Australia, it’s often believed that guests should spend between $50-$200 on a wedding gift. Due to wedding gifts being fairly expensive, it’s important to think about what both members of the couple will enjoy and use in their life.
