Your big day is just around the corner, and you are already looking forward to having family and friends who will attend your wedding? Congratulations! If you are still looking for a suitable gift, you don't always have to spend a lot of money on it. Personalized ideas are much more popular with guests and conjure up a very special smile.
Presents for the newlyweds are a common gesture to make the new phase of life a little easier. Household appliances, toys for the first baby, or gifts of money are brought along. But what about the guests? Yes, the food and the location, as well as the entertainment with music or a show, alone make for a great feeling.
Nevertheless, guest favors are welcome, as the guests hold pictures or video recordings after the wedding and a small gift from the wedding couple as a thank you for the time. Ideas to make yourself are popular with every guest here.
The Classic: A Photo Book
There are numerous ideas to choose from when looking for the right gift. They have one thing in common: they should be personal and not necessarily cost too much. One of the most popular favors, for this reason, is the photo book, but not the classic format that is distributed after the wedding. This photo book presents the most beautiful moments from the years before the wedding. This includes, if still available, images of the following events:
⦁ the first meeting or date
⦁ Travel memories
⦁ Engagement pictures
⦁ with the offspring
⦁ Moving into the first common home
⦁ the first meeting or date
⦁ Travel memories
⦁ Engagement pictures
⦁ with the offspring
⦁ Moving into the first common home
Of course, all memories should be packed in this photo book, which provides a great and sometimes sentimental insight into the previous relationship. Many couples even integrate pictures of difficult moments or arguments, as these are part of the relationship and make the photo book even more "intimate." A big advantage of this gift: it is still quite cheap even in large editions, as discounts are usually still granted for large orders.
Small Delicacies

⦁ now glue the ornament to the glass
⦁ you can use either a spray adhesive, an adhesive roll or paste
⦁ then let dry
