The holidays are here! That means it’s time once again to shop for the perfect gifts for all the special people in your life. It’s also the season of engagements, so you probably know one or two couples who have just got engaged. This is such an exciting time, but it can also be stressful and overwhelming. Choosing a gift that helps with the planning or provides them with some much-needed R&R or helps them savor this romantic moment in their lives is a great idea and will be much appreciated. Even better, you can combine it with their engagement gift!
Here are a few of my favorite holiday gift ideas for engaged couples.
Mindy Weiss Session by Masterclass. I’m so excited to have recently launched my ‘Plan Your Dream Wedding’ Session by Masterclass! It helps couples bring their dream day to life, using all the wisdom and knowledge I’ve gained through my years as a wedding planner. From getting organized and finding the perfect vendors to designing a beautiful event, this course is the ideal way for the newly engaged to immerse themselves in the planning process, especially if they’re planning the big day themselves!
Personalized Ornament. An ornament is a suitably seasonal way to mark this chapter in their lives! You’ll find lots of options for personalized ornaments on Etsy, from porcelain hearts to traditional baubles. Whatever you choose, it’s sure to become an heirloom piece if they celebrate Christmas. Imagine the joy it will bring every year as they place it on their tree again and again.
Couple Photoshoot. If you’re looking for holiday gift ideas for engaged couples that are a real treat, why not give them an experience instead? A couple photoshoot is a great opportunity for them to take some time out and have some fun in front of the camera. Best of all, it will also help them learn to relax and ultimately result in better wedding pics. And, of course, they’ll have some lovely images to remember this moment.
Wedding Planning Books. Another option to help couples get started with their wedding planning is to gift them one of my wedding planning books or wedding organizers. These are popular gifts year after year. I love hearing how much they’ve helped couples plan their big day their way!
Matching Festive Pajamas. One that’s great for the ‘gram! Matching holiday pajama sets are a lot of fun and make for a super cute Christmas morning photo (especially if you include a set for their pets).
Holiday Themed Serving Platter. If the couple is setting up home together for the first time, they’ll be focusing on key items like everyday plates and glassware. A special Christmas dish or holiday platter will be a special addition to their new collection, one that they can bring out each year.
Champagne Glasses. ‘Tis the season to eat, drink, and be merry (or married!). Matching champagne glasses are a great gift for a newly engaged couple to toast each other with. You could also have them personalized with their names or initials.
Scented Candles. Beautiful candles are a great gift for anyone, especially those who might be a little frazzled from all the wedding planning! These pretty candles will fill their home with a soothing and relaxing fragrance. They also double as a stylish home accent. What’s not to love?
Of course, there are many more holiday gift ideas for engaged couples, but hopefully these will get you started!
xoxo,
Mindy
