Wedding couples appreciate all gifts: may it be ready-made or personalized. It is always the thought that counts. Yet, it would mean a great deal to your newly-wed friends if you give them something you made yourself. It is like giving your heart and your soul on it. Your personalized wedding gift is a symbol of your effort in making them happy on their special moment. Making personalized wedding gifts can be fun and rewarding. Here are some ideas on what to give as a surprise to your newly wed friends:

Pillows and pillow cases. Pillows are easy to make yet they make attractive gifts. What is also nice about them is that they provide comfort, may it be in the bedroom or in the living room. You can choose the materials yourself and have it made if you don't know how to sew. It would be nice if you can embroider them yourself. For a more personal touch, you can embroider the couple's names on pillow cases you will make.

Picture frames. They make hassle-free gifts yet thoughtful ones. You can have an extra large picture frame with the couple's picture on it, or you can have small, multiple ones connected together. It would be nice if you could make a wooden picture frame; it lasts longer and is water-resistant than cardboard. You can also modify picture frames by sewing cloth over them; they would be attractive to look at and has that unique, personalized touch. Other materials you can use as edgings are shells, pebbles, colored stones and buttons.

Robes and night apparel. If you know how to sew, it would be an advantage. You can make two identical bathrobes for the bride and groom. Or you can make two identical silk pajamas for both of them to wear at night on their honeymoon. Few people realize it but these make good, highly treasured wedding gifts.

Tie-dyed Personalized shirts. Tie-dying is simple to do yet it creates artistic results. You can buy plain white shirts and tie-dye them with different colors at home. After you tie-dye the shirts, you can design them further with water resistant T-shirt pens to add an artistic touch. If you want, you can also tie-dye shorts, towels and even linen!

Home decorations. Wall decorations also make very attractive gifts. You can do cross-stitched masterpieces and place them in a picture frame. Paintings also make valuable gifts. If you can neither embroider nor paint, dried huge flowers and dried plants are an option and they can be placed on vases. You can paint them to add color and cheer.

Self-painted houseware. You can also paint mugs, plates, cups, trays and bowls yourself. Painting them yourself will add a personalized, unique touch to the houseware. You also have the option of placing or even engraving the couple's names on them.

Wedding album. You can make a personalized wedding album for your newly-wed friends using unique materials like shells, pebbles, colored paper and colored cloth. You can also include pictures of your friend while they were dating or during their engagement party. Placing love quotations and even the couple's love story between its pages is a thoughtful act.

Music CD. You can make a music CD out of your friends' favorite love songs. Include the songs, which are very memorable to them. You can also make a mini video on how the two of them met and how you see them as a couple. The video may be serious or it can be a mock video. You can get your other friends and the couple's family members to participate in sharing their thoughts to the video.

Blankets and Quilts. Blankets and quilts make romantic gifts for the new couple. Imagine the two of them sharing together the warm blanket you made! You can make a quilt out of patches of cloths of different colors and you can design them as you like.

Ready-made personalized wedding party gifts. There are many personalized gift shops in malls and online if you haven't got the time yet you want a personalized touch. They make engraved jewelry, house wares, and clocks.

Giving wedding party gifts is not compulsory but decorum subtly dictates it is. Any gift will matter but to make it matter the most to the couple, have it personalized.
