Today, weddings are held throughout the calendar year, although the summer months still seem to dominate as the top choice for the event. Gift giving does seem to vary depending on what the couple has listed on their registry list. Couples that are just starting out seem to need everything, while others may simply request a donation to a favorite charity. If you’re looking for something different that is outside the box (or the registry list), consider giving a unique and personal gift with custom framing. The options are limitless from a favorite print the couple may enjoy, to a photo of the bride and groom in their early dating stage, or even a shadowbox that houses the shower invitation, the wedding invitation and some fun items that reflect the theme of the wedding day; beach sandals for casual weddings to bow ties for black tie events.
In addition to the variety of frames and colors that are available, specialized mat cuts can be designed to also help enhance the theme of the piece you are designing. Autographed mats are also a big hit these days at weddings. You could offer to frame a photo of the couple with a large mat surrounding the photo enabling wedding guests to sign on the day of the event. Once the wedding photo is available, it can replace the original photo when the glass is added to make up a truly memorable wedding day gift.
