How to choose a wedding gift for a friend

Good wedding gifts for friends have one thing in common: the couple feels you know them.

1. Gift the couple, not just your friend. Pick something both of them will like and use.
2. Ask about the home. If they are moving to a new home, a useful item or wall decor makes sense.
3. Get the details right. Confirm how both names are spelled, and the wedding date, with someone close to the couple.
4. Choose the photo early. A clear engagement or pre wedding photo gives the best result on lamps and caricatures.
5. Order in time. Each piece is made to order once you send the names and photo, so place it well before the wedding.

What to write in a wedding card for a friend

• Congratulations to my favourite couple. Here is to a lifetime of laughter and late night chai.
• You found your person. So happy for you both. Welcome to the family, from all of us.
• From your college gang: we will always be there, now for both of you.
