Buying wedding gifts for friends can be quite the strenuous task, especially if the happy couple hasn't provided a wishlist to go from. You have to think on your feet and be a little bit creative in a bid to come up with a wedding gift idea that they'll remember for the rest of their lives – and which proves you've gone above and beyond.
You could go down the traditional route a wedding present for their home, like a whisky decanter and tumbler set or a photo frame for their wedding snaps. Or, you could opt for something more “outside the box” like wall art, a funky light or a game set. Either way, if your best mate is tying the knot and saying “I do,” you'll probably want to congratulate them with something other than your presence.
So, if you're looking for the perfect just-married gift – whether you're a bridesmaid, groomsman, member of the wedding party or even the wedding planner – we've got 23 chic wedding gifts for friends below from the likes of Etsy, Amazon and Net-a-Porter.
