On their wedding day, just as dinner wrapped up, the maid of honor handed the couple a gift box. Inside was a framed print and an envelope. Jasmine looked at it, confused, until she read the words: “Toward your first home, because love like yours deserves strong roots.

Tears welled up. Mark was speechless. They looked at their friends smiling, teary-eyed, proud and said, “You have no idea what this means to us.”

That gift didn’t just support a down payment.

It gave Mark and Jasmine a start on the life they dreamed of.

Here’s a practical guide on how to give meaningful gifts that help support their new beginning

  • Ask what they really need
    A quick chat with the couple or someone close to them can go a long way. Maybe they’re saving for a house, planning a big move, or need help furnishing their first home.

  • Go in on a group gift
    Team up with friends or family to contribute to something big, like a down payment, new appliances, or moving costs. Pooling resources can turn a good gift into an unforgettable one.

  • Consider group gifting
    Team up with other guests for bigger items or services the couple may need but can’t afford alone.

  • Give cash, but make it personal
    Cash is always useful. Make it feel meaningful with a handwritten note, a card tied to a milestone (“for your first dinner as newlyweds!”), or paired with a small keepsake.

  • Plan ahead
    Start early to allow time for coordination, especially if your gift involves vendors or custom items.

  • Respect their preferences
    If the couple has a registry, check it first. If they’ve said “no gifts,” a heartfelt letter or shared experience might mean more than any item.
