Advice and ideas to help you with your wedding gift list

Perhaps I should explain myself before you navigate off the page - ewedding are an independent wedding gift list company.  We offer the facility to list your wedding wish list, without being tied to a particular store.  We do not provide the gifts, you simply list your wedding gift list online, adding as much or as little detail you prefer, then your guests are free to shop around to get the best deal on their gift to you.  It gives you the flexibility to list anything you choose.

Hence the title of this blog, DIY.  Many couples may have already been living together for years and already set up home, therefore it is difficult to know what to ask for.  Many couples are quite happy not to ask for gifts, but your guests will want to get you something to wish you well, and would appreciate some pointers.  A DIY wedding gift list, could be donations towards a major project within the house.  Perhaps the home you have shared needs a new bathroom or kitchen - something that has been put on the back burner, whilst the wedding plans took over.  Donations to a DIY fund or gift vouchers for your chosen DIY store could get you underway with a longed for project.  It could be something more simple like a makeover for your master bedroom, or donations towards a new fireplace - perhaps you have always longed to have a proper open fire, but never quite had the money to have the chimney made safe for you to do so.  It would be a wonderful way to remember your wedding day and guests, when toasting your toes on a cold winters night.

Whatever your project may be, whether an opportunity to finally get some proper tools in the garage, rather than trying to change a plug with a knife, or planning a major project such as a loft conversion, it would easily open up a wedding gift list full of ideas.  Perhaps if you planned to extend your home in some way, a good way to introduce it on your wedding list, would be an invitation for friends and family to come and stay once it is done, so they can sample and enjoy what they have helped you achieve.
