Bride and groom gift exchange is a customary part of the wedding day experience. It is seen as a heart felt gesture to further commemorate the day and say thank you for becoming my spouse. But after months or even years of planning and purchasing, thinking about a gift for your bride can be a big challenge. But don't fret. With some thought and emotion, you can provide your new wife with a gift that will bring those heartfelt tears to her eyes.

• Think “unique”. This should be a personal gift that comes straight from your heart to hers.

• Sentimental is more important than expensive. Don't try to impress her with your money. Impress her with your heart.

• Romantic, not practical. It could be a gift with no usefulness at all, as long as it invokes romance when she opens it.

• Remember the milestones in your relationship... your first date, first vacation together or your couple song. Use these details as inspiration and let them steer you in the right direction.

Engraving is a sure fire way of personalizing any item. A bracelet or necklace with your wedding date is a great option... or get even more creative with a romantic quote or song lyric. With all of the amazing photo programs, you can turn a couple picture into almost anything. A unique, antique music box is another romantic option. Whatever gift you choose, as long as its from the heart, your bride will be happy and filled with appreciation.
