Weddings are one of the most auspicious celebrations in India. Choosing a wedding gift is quite a ritual. Most wedding gifts follow a unique theme. This theme in India is mostly related to utility.
Utility goods are one of the main themes of a wedding gift. A coffee or tea set, a coffee maker, a rice cooker, a dinner set, a set of casseroles are the primary choices. Then comes crockery and cutlery sets.
Bedsheets, bed covers, table cloths, table mats are also preferential. Whatever be the present it has to be thoroughly utilised by the newly married couple. Sarees, suit pices, dressing material are also perfect gifts for weddings.
Paintings and photo frames are seldom gifted as they are more of decoration and less of utility. So next time you choose a gift make sure it fulfills the code of utility.
