10 Wedding Gift Ideas

I am so happy recently to receive a wedding invitation for one of our nieces from Minnesota.  Now our little family is excited about planning our trip to Minnesota in June, I have already started thinking about what to pack and what to give to the new couple.  They live right on a huge lake, surrounded by forest — it will be the first time there for Red Bear and me!

Even though I am not too new to American culture ( more than 5 years living here so far), I don’t get many chances to attend weddings here.  I know in China, we always give the new couple a red envelop with cash inside, but here in the U.S. we give the new couple something they will need, usually from a store where they registered for wedding gifts.  Somehow according to my personal thinking, I think that’s always right when you try to show somebody your love by giving them gifts.  🙂

Some gifts for the bride and groom in my mind right now: (from top and left)
