photo gifts

printed framed photo gift ideas from minted

For gifting those closest to you, you really can’t beat a printed photo gift, especially in this digital age. We all forget how special it is to see your favorite photos printed out and displayed in your home. If you’re wedding planning or already in the honeymoon phase, a framed photo of you and your besties one-on-one (at the wedding or any of the events leading up to the big day) is a great way to say thank you and commemorate your friendship. The same goes for your parents! You’ll definitely want to have one or two of your family portraits from the wedding professionally printed and framed for them. For friends, free-standing photos work best as you probably don’t know where they will put them in their home. For parents, we find that hanging canvases or frames are always a hit because what parent doesn’t want to brag about their baby’s wedding day?

If it’s your S.O. that you’re shopping for, a photo gift is a no-brainer! Minted has so many great options to choose from, but we’re currently crushing on this adorable heart print that can fit all of your favorite photos from throughout the year!

gentlebands mens jewelry

Everyone knows that women enjoy receiving jewelry for just about any occasion, but men like to celebrate milestones too. It sounds weird to even have to put that in writing, but for most men, their wedding band is the only piece of jewelry that they’ll ever own. 

Not because they don’t want more, but because no one thinks to gift it to them. We talked to Gentlebands, one of our favorite men’s jewelry brands, about this and what they had to say was enlightening, to say the least.

gentlebands mens rings made with cool materials

Whether they wear it on their sleeves or not, men are sentimental creatures. They like to celebrate and be celebrated as much as women do and jewelry is a great way to do just that. Jewelry, especially quality, durable pieces like Gentlebands, can serve as a daily reminder and can be the little nudge that keeps them going on a tough day.

when to gift

gentlebands non traditional rings

Of course, weddings and anniversaries are perfect opportunities to gift a ring, but there are a ton of other appropriate occasions. Rings are a great gift for graduations too or other life milestones like a new job or the birth of a child. 

Free Custom Engraving

We also love that Gentlebands offers FREE custom engraving (for a limited time!) which adds that extra sentimental touch, you can even engrave icons and images.

gentlebands ring for graduation present

And you don’t need to be romantic partners to gift a ring, they also make great gifts for friends, brothers, dads, and business partners. Gentlebands have so many cool materials to choose from: Tungsten, Glowstone, Meteorite, Titanium, Whiskey Barrel, Damascus Steel, Antler, and even Dinosaur Fossils! Each material carries a special meaning or can capture a part of their personality. Imagine giving your dad a ring for Father’s Day or for a milestone birthday, maybe an antler ring to remind him of hunting together, or a ring with an inlaid guitar string that will make him think about all of those late-night campfire jam sessions from when you were young.

something for everyone

In addition to their unique materials, Gentlebands pulls inspiration from the coolest places. Here are a few of our favorite collections:

galactic legend

black diamond star wars inspired wedding ring for men by gentlebands

For this collection, they drew inspiration from classic sci-fi films and video games–”forcebound rings inspired by a galaxy far away”. You can even choose which side he’s on, but we’re partial to the “Rings of Darkened Enigma”. So if your man is a Star Wars fan or a gamer, this is the collection for them.

chain collection

gentlebands ring chains for men

Gentlebands also understand that wearing a ring isn’t always practical, but men want to keep it somewhere safe and close to their hearts. That’s why they introduced a line of elegant chains that make the perfect gift for your wedding day or any other special occasion.

Why Gentlebands is our go-to for all things men’s jewelry

gentlebands classic yellow gold wedding band

In addition to their insanely reasonable prices, with Gentlebands, you know you’re getting a quality product. Each ring is handmade from sustainably harvested materials in one of their family-run workshops. They also include a free lifetime warranty with all of their products and will take care of any repairs or replacements free of charge.

Dream Home by Crate and Barrel

Don’t lie, getting to create a wedding registry was definitely one of the first things that popped into your mind as soon as you got engaged. And why not? It’s so exciting! Yes, you’ve been dreaming of your big day for a while now, but you’ve probably been dreaming of your forever home…well, FOREVER! And now you actually get to design it! With so many registry options these days, it can be hard to know where to start. Allow us to help–Crate & Barrel. Just one scroll through their website or stroll through their stores will convince you–they literally have anything and everything you need for your new[lywed] home. From kitchen essentials and décor to appliances, you’ll find it all at Crate & Barrel, plus they offer couples a ton of free perks just for registering with them. Here are some of our favorite finds that are absolute musts for your Crate & Barrel Wedding Registry

kitchen essentials

Modern Wine Glasses

When it comes to your registry, the kitchen is the place to start. Even if you have been living together and already have the basics, your wedding is the perfect opportunity to build a cohesive aesthetic as a couple and upgrade. While you should totally register for glasses, dinnerware, and flatware sets, don’t sleep on the appliances. While Crate & Barrel is known for its chic minimalist décor, they also have an awesome array of aesthetically pleasing appliances, like an entire range of Smeg electrics and every type of Nespresso machine you could imagine! Here is a little inspiration for your kitchen registry.

Our Picks: Glasses | Plates | Flatware | Air Fryer | Smeg Toaster | Smeg Refridgerator | Nespresso

bathroom essentials

Starting your forever home together marks the real beginning of “adulting”. Check your linen closet. The time has come to bid adieu to your hair-dye-stained college towels and usher in your new era with some plush spa-worthy replacements. Go ahead and add a monogram if you’re feelin’ extra. It’s also time to ditch the disposable plastic soap dispensers and invest in a permeant glass or ceramic set–look at you putting down roots!

Our Picks: Towels | Counter Organizer | Towel Warmer | Bath Robe

furniture

Now don’t panic, we’re not suggesting that you ask Bob from work to get you a sofa. With Crate & Barrel’s group gifting option, you can register for big-ticket items, like said sofa, and multiple guests can chip in and make it a reality. Even if you don’t meet your goal for an item, you’ll get a 15% discount on all of your registry items for up to 6 months after your wedding! So yeah…register for the sectional and upgrade your mattress. And while we’re on the bedroom, make sure to register for a feather bed and two sets of bedding so you always have one while the other is in the wash–you can thank us later.

Our Picks: Sofa | Mattress | Mirror | Duvet | Bedding | Feather Bed

décor

Modern Whimsical Decor

Registering for décor can be intimidating, especially if you don’t have your furniture picked out yet. So let us help. Number one: picture frames. You can literally never have too many, and after your wedding, you’ll have plenty of photos you want to display. Mirrors are also a great functional piece of décor that you can take with you wherever you settle down. It’s also a good idea to have a few less expensive items on your registry, so find some cute candles and candle holders that speak to you.

The chic new wedding album your wedding photos deserve https://www.weddingchicks.com/gift-ideas-registry-must-haves/printique-acrylic-cover-album/ Tue, 24 Oct 2023 14:00:00 +0000 https://www.weddingchicks.com/gift-ideas-registry-must-haves/printique-acrylic-cover-album/ What do you do with the most important investment from your wedding–your photos? We're a big fan of Printique's new Acrylic Cover Album. Here's why...

Printique acrylic cover wedding album

That long-awaited e-mail has finally popped up in your inbox–your wedding photos are ready to download. 

You rush to your computer and sift through them, reminiscing about the best day ever, but now what? You obviously NEED to print them, but with so many options, it’s hard to know who to trust with what is possibly the most important investment from your wedding–your photos.

Well, that’s where we can help. For more than 20 years, Printique has been the go-to source for the highest-quality photo printing. And while, of course, quality is key, we love them even more for all of their fun printing options like their new Acrylic Cover Album.

Printique wedding album with lay flat pages

Like a frame and album all in one chic package, Printique’s Acrylic Cover Album is perfect for wedding photos. 

The cover image is infused directly onto high-grade acrylic making the colors more vibrant and brilliant.

quality beveled edge acrylic cover album from Printique

Hold up to 100 pages of  photos

The sleek beveled edge adds a modern and sophisticated touch, while the quarter-inch thickness of the acrylic ensures durability, which is crucial for an album that’s destined to be a treasured keepsake. Let’s not forget the lay-flat design–the only way to go when printing your wedding photos! Panoramic shots are flawlessly presented, preserving every detail without any disruption. And these babies can hold up to 100 pages which means you don’t have to pick and choose…go ahead, print them all!

Printiques albums come in multiple sizes and are great for gifting

We also love that they offer different size ranges. We recommend going for the 12”x12” for yourself and investing in a few of the 8”x8” ones to gift to the parents and anyone else you’re close with who helped with the wedding. You know we’re all about the packaging so the stunning presentation box that each album comes in is the icing on the [wedding] cake for us! And, the box is multifunctional–it makes for easy gifting and safe storage. Now all that’s left to do is choose the cover image…

You can shop any site from the classic department stores to niche boutiques and with a click of a button add anything to your wedding registry.

why we love Riley & Grey

Riley & Grey the lowest fees of any wedding website in the industry

You know we’re all about the aesthetics here at Wedding Chicks, so obviously, our favorite part is how stunning these wedding websites are. They’re super affordable but look like you spent a ton on hiring a private web developer. But the best part is that they are as functional and easy to use as they are attractive. We also love how open they are about their fees, which happen to be the lowest in the industry. There are no hidden costs or fake “fee-free” options. They have so many great features from tracking RSVPs, communicating with your guests, and now hosting and tracking your wedding registry.

Get 30% off your wedding website when you use code RGWEDDINGCHICKS at checkout.*

*Code expires December 1, 2023

Riley & Grey is the best wedding registry

You can even choose when you want your gifts to ship so you don’t come home from your honeymoon to a ton of priceless gifts that have been left out in the elements while you were away. Receive a few duplicates? It happens. With Riley & Grey, couples can convert gifts to the cash-equivalent instead so you don’t need to run all around doing returns at multiple stores. Plus, the experience is easy and straightforward for your guests too. It really doesn’t get any better!

DIY Personalized Wedding Sunglasses

Creating your own custom wedding sunglasses with your initials and wedding date is a fantastic and budget-friendly idea that adds a personal touch to your special day. Here’s a simple and creative guide on how to make your own custom sunglasses:

Here is a pack of 36 white sunglasses on Amazon for $27.

Read on for instructions

  1. Bulk Buy Sunglasses: Look for wholesale or bulk-buy sunglasses online or at local stores. Opt for a classic and neutral frame color like black, white, or tortoiseshell, as it will be easier to customize and suit various guests’ preferences.

  2. Gather Your Supplies: Purchase permanent markers or oil-based paint pens in colors that match your wedding theme. Consider

    white


    metallic gold or silver

    for an elegant touch. Make sure to choose markers that are waterproof and won’t smudge easily.

  3. Design Your Customization: Before you start writing on the sunglasses, plan out the design. Practice writing your initials and wedding date on a piece of paper to get the perfect style and size. You can also add little symbols or a special phrase that resonates with you and your partner.

  4. Start Customizing: Lay the sunglasses flat on a clean surface. Carefully write your initials and wedding date on one of the temples (the arms of the glasses) using the markers. Take your time and apply gentle pressure to ensure a clean and steady stroke.

  5. Let Them Dry: Allow the customized sunglasses to dry for a few minutes. If you’re using oil-based paint pens, follow the drying time mentioned on the pen’s packaging to ensure the paint sets properly.

  6. Protect the Design: To ensure the design lasts longer, apply a clear coat of sealant over the written area. This will help protect the customization from fading, rubbing off, or smudging.

    We recommend using Crystal Clear

    .

  7. Wrap Them Up: Once the custom wedding sunglasses are completely dry, wrap them individually in pretty tissue paper or place them in small gift bags. You can also add a thank-you note or a small wedding favor tag to complete the personalized touch.

Share your wedding sunglasses

Share your custom wedding sunglasses creations! Capture the final result of your personalized sunglasses and share them on Instagram, tagging @weddingchicks, so others can be inspired by your creativity!

the art of bookbinding

hand binding on wedding books by Liumy Albums

Bookbinding is a centuries-old craft that requires skill, patience, and an eye for detail. Handcrafted wedding albums, in particular, showcase the artistry and precision of bookbinding, creating a unique and heirloom-worthy piece that captures the essence of your special day. The meticulous attention to detail and care that goes into their creation set these albums apart from the mass-produced options on the market. The process of binding by hand and sewing the pages together requires precision and expertise and the result is a robust and durable album that will last for generations. By opting for a handmade wedding album, you’re not only investing in a beautiful keepsake but also supporting the time-honored tradition of bookbinding and the artisans who dedicate their lives to this intricate craft.

When it comes to preserving your cherished wedding memories, selecting the right paper for your album is crucial. Acid-free paper, such as the Swedish Arctic Munken paper, used by our handcrafted wedding album brand, is the ideal choice for several reasons. Made from wood-free pulp, this paper is not only environmentally responsible but also ensures that your photographs and memories will be preserved without deterioration over time. Its acid-free nature also makes it safe for children’s crafts and art, so future generations can enjoy your wedding album without worry. By choosing a handcrafted album, you’re not only investing in the preservation of your memories but also honoring the craftsmanship and dedication of the artisans who create these exquisite keepsakes.

In addition to serving as a timeless keepsake, a handcrafted wedding album can also play a role in entertaining your guests during your celebration. By incorporating a personalized guest book into your wedding, you provide a space for friends and family to share their well-wishes, thoughts, and memories. This interactive element encourages guests to engage with one another and adds a touch of elegance to your special day. We love the idea of including photos of you and each of your guests throughout the guest book so they can flip through and find their page. Or, you can make it even more interactive by allowing guests to take photos with a Polaroid camera or a photo booth at the wedding that can be added into the guest book right then and there.
