Wedding Gift

Hi,

So as my close friend is getting married, I thought about choosing bedding set as one of the gifts. Found few very cute ones, but have some doubts. What do You think, would this gift be ok?

    Do you know what bedding they were going to get? Bedding to me seems like something the couple picks out for their registry, people have strong preferences for that sort of thing so unless you know or can find out what styles she was looking at I don’t think I’d risk it. It’s pretty bedding though! You could always get her something else for her home, like a kitchen gadget or even a beautiful throw blanket for her living room.

    I definitely agree. But if you did go with bedding worst case is they may not love it or use it for their own bed. Could always use for spare bedroom or backup bedding. I don’t think it is a terrible idea but I would get their preference or check with registry first.

    I'm a firm believe that you should buy off of their registry or gift cash. Maybe your style doesn't fit theirs or maybe they just don't want/need bedding. It's thoughtful, but I would pass.

    Agreed - if you know they want bedding from this site and haven't registered for any other bedding options, go for it. Otherwise, I'd pick something off the registry or give them cash/a gift card.

    I've never given a physical gift for a wedding. I always give cash. If you're feeling unsure, gift cash and they can get whatever they want. If you do get the bedding, include a gift receipt.

    I would be so nervous about gifting something as personal as bedding.

    Even if you know her personal style, it may differ from the couple’s shared decor style or planned style for the bedroom.

    I would recommend going with something on the registry or gift cash

    I agree with PPs here. For me personally, I have put bedding I like on our registry. So, anyone who goes there and chooses one of the sets I have registered for will be getting us a gift we really like.

    But to receive a random bedding set, that I didn't pick out? While a nice gift, if it doesn't go with our other stuff, or if I just don't like it, then what? Now we have to return it? I hope that doesn't happen, especially because bedding is a really common registry item, so if your couple has a registry, they most likely have put bedding on it, and you should stick to what the couple has already picked out.
