Purchasing Indian wedding gifts is a little different than what you may be used to. It’s common for attendees to choose a gift that both the bride and groom can use. Not sure what to purchase them? Check out this guide below.
Apparel
It’s rather easy to purchase clothing items for the bride and groom. A saree makes a great gift for the bride. For the groom, opt for a shirt that’s more traditional looking. If you are traveling to India for the wedding then you can easily find these items. If you aren’t, check out online retailers to find these items.
Religious Items
Most Indian couples are religious. This is why purchasing a religious item for the couple is a great choice. Paintings and idols are good options. For those couples that are extremely religious, consider giving them an aarti stance or incense holders to assist them with daily poojas practices.
Household Goods
Indian couples will be spending a lot of time at their home together once they get married. You can help them make this transition easier by purchasing items for their home that they will find useful. These items can include things that they can use in their kitchen, decorative items for their bedroom or even electronics for their living room.
Indian Wedding Gifts of Money
If you just aren’t sure what to buy the couple, you can always give them money. Surprisingly, money if a very common gift at Indian weddings. If you don’t have a lot to give, consider pooling your money together with a few other attendees. This way, the bride and groom will receive a lump sum of money and they won’t know exactly how much you gave them.
