Stress Less with TisBest!

Wedding shopping can be fun or stressful, depending on how much you enjoy shopping, how well you know the couple, and the amount of time and money you have to spend. More often than not, looking for a unique wedding gift proves challenging. Perhaps you’re shopping for a couple that already seems to have everything or you’re unsure what kinds of things they’d appreciate. 

Some couples make the process easier by providing guests with a wedding gift registry. However, last-minute shoppers often find that the only gift options left come at a price that’s beyond what they’re comfortable spending. Then there are the couples who don’t expect gifts or leave it up to the discretion of their guests, which can make finding the right gift daunting.

What if you could find a unique wedding gift that’s suitable to give anyone while also staying within your budget? The good news is you can — and we have the perfect gift idea!

Replacing Gifts of Stuff With Acts of Love & Kindness

TisBest Charity Gift Cards are on a mission to #RedefineGifting by replacing gifts of stuff with gifts of good that meaningfully connect individuals to important causes. Instead of bestowing the newlyweds with another blender, give them an opportunity to support a cause that matters to them. 

When you buy a TisBest Charity Gift Card, you determine the denomination, and the couple chooses their favorite charity. 100% of the gift card value goes to the charity of their choice. 

How They Work for You, The Giver

Here’s a Sneak Peek on How TisBest Charity Gift Cards Work:

A Unique Wedding Gift That Is Meaningful and Versatile

TisBest lets them choose from our carefully selected list of top charities, or search from more than 1.8 million accredited U.S.-based charities. 

TisBest Charity Gift Cards offer couples the opportunity to contribute to something they care about together. They’ll also enjoy the rewarding feeling that comes from the loving act of charitable giving.

The post A Unique Wedding Gift Suitable for Anyone appeared first on TisBest.

Wedding planning season is here and this year couples have big plans for their special day! After 2 years of postponed, canceled, or smaller nuptials, the wedding industry is gearing up for a record-breaking year. In fact, according to a new survey by The Knot, there will be an estimated 2.6 million U.S. weddings in 2022 — the most we’ve seen since 1984! Thankfully, gone are the days of traditional 80s wedding favors. Today’s couples are looking for more meaningful and creative gifts. Show your guests some love with unique wedding favors they’ll remember long after you say I do!

Unique Wedding Favors That Create a Memorable Experience

Traditionally, favors are meant to show appreciation and gratitude to your guests. Although, how many people actually use them or think about them after the wedding? Candy-filled boxes are consumed and forgotten. Even worse, some are thrown away due to dietary restrictions. Those cute little monogrammed frames/place card holders are predictable, and often get left on the table at the end of the night. Our unique wedding favors create a memorable experience that will impact more than just your guests.

TisBest Charity Gift Cards work exactly like traditional gift cards — with one important exception. You choose the denomination and your loved ones spend it on their favorite charity. With over 1.8 million U.S. registered charities to choose from, our list is as diverse as your guest list. What’s more, they can easily slip these unique wedding favors into their wallet, ensuring no cards are left behind. Together, you and your partner will create a ripple effect of love!

Personalized Wedding Favors That Reflect Your Love

Depending on the size of your wedding, you may not have time to personally thank each guest. These unique wedding favors surely will make everyone feel appreciated. Show your guests how much they matter to you, by helping them support a cause that matters most to them.

In addition, TisBest Charity Gift Cards can be customized for your special day! Choose from our suite of beautifully designed wedding cards or use your own picture. Have fun creating a card that best reflects your relationship and style. Upload a cute snapshot of you and your partner or an image that ties in with your wedding theme. These unique wedding favors can be displayed on a table at your reception or at each place setting. Your guests will be touched by such a creative, thoughtful, and kind gift.

Leave a Lasting Impression with Eco-Friendly Wedding Favors

According to Hannah Nowack, Real Weddings editor at The Knot, value-focused wedding planning is a big priority for the newly engaged, especially for Millennial and Gen-Z couples. In an interview with Forbes, Hannah shared “Instead of simply seeing their nuptials as a fun celebration, they’re also finding ways for the big day to leave a positive, lasting impact. In addition to dealing with supply chain issues, brides are more mindful about wedding wastefulness. New brides are supporting the local economy and environment whenever possible.”

Many wedding favors are packaged in boxes and sachets or serve a one-time use before ending up in the trash. TisBest Charity Gift Cards are bio-plastic so they leave a  lasting impression on your guests, their receiving charity, and the environment.

Celebrate Good Times Come On!

As Kristin Wiig says in the comedy Bridesmaids, it’s time to paaaartay! The Knot survey reveals that big weddings are making a comeback. The average guest size is projected to be up to 129 (higher than the average of 105 in 2021.) Whether you’re jumping in that conga line or sticking to a more intimate affair, TisBest Charity Gift Cards are unique wedding favors that will be remembered along with all the memories made on the dance floor!

The post Say I Do to Unique Wedding Favors Your Guests Will Love appeared first on TisBest.

Searching for the best wedding gifts for friends, relatives, or colleagues? We’ve got some great ideas for choosing the best wedding gifts that couples will genuinely appreciate. 

Finding The Best Wedding Gifts Can Be a Challenge! 

You’ve sent in your RSVP. Now it’s time to find a meaningful gift that the newlyweds can enjoy together. Some couples make this process easy with a wedding registry and some forgo gifts altogether. Others make no mention of gifts, leaving it up to their guests’ discretion. 

This can definitely be intimidating — but not to worry; we’ve got you covered!

Step #1 to Choosing The Best Wedding Gifts | Important Considerations:

Great gift giving requires the following considerations before you buy. Ask yourself:

How well do you know the couple? 

The closer you are to the couple, the easier it will be to purchase sentimental gifts. However, if you’re purchasing for a colleague or acquaintance, it can be a lot harder to figure out what will be meaningful.

Do they have any specific allergies, sensitivities, cultural, or religious restrictions?

This one is important to consider when purchasing gifts that contain foods, alcoholic beverages, and even artwork.

What sorts of things are important to the couple? 

This question can apply to everything from their personalities to causes that are close to their hearts. Are they animal lovers? Eco-conscious? Passionate about social justice? How can you recognize and honor those qualities?

How much are you comfortable spending?

It’s not uncommon to log into a gift registry only to find that the few options left are super expensive! While your generosity is always appreciated, you should never feel obligated to exceed your budget. 

Logistics:

Will you be attending their wedding in person? Virtually? Sending a gift in the mail?

Step #2 | Choose Between Practical, Sentimental, or Experiential 

When it comes to gifts, you can be practical, sentimental, or go adventurous with the experiential route. Each comes with its own set of pros, cons, and considerations.

Practical Wedding Gifts

Practical gifts are things that the couple will deem useful. These can include anything from home appliances and dinnerware to linens, suitcases, and more.

To conclude: 

If the couple doesn’t have a gift registry that lists their specific wants and needs, navigate practical purchases carefully. When in doubt, ask someone close to them. 

Sentimental Wedding Gifts

Sentimental gifts can be a great option, but come with their own set of considerations. These heartfelt gifts can include meaningful heirlooms, handmade crafts, photography, music, or unique and memorable artwork. 

If you’re thinking of going the sentimental route, first consider:

How well do you know the couple you’re buying for? How up-to-date are you on their lifestyle and personal preferences?

That picnic set may make a cute gift, but what is the likelihood it will get used versus ending up in the garage? 

Crafts and artwork can be risky. It’s extremely difficult to choose pieces that will work with someone’s tastes and decor. If you’re a quilter or winemaker and the couple has expressed interest and admiration for your work, that’s a great sign the couple will genuinely appreciate your gift. Otherwise, tread carefully.

Music and photography can be highly meaningful — as long as you know the couple’s style. If you’re a musician or photographer, one fantastic idea might be to offer your services at their wedding. Family photography packages also make a great gift.

Heirlooms can make excellent wedding gifts if the couple feels a personal connection with the original owner and will enjoy displaying or using it. Otherwise, receiving grandma’s old china collection can feel burdensome for a couple that has no use for it (and doesn’t have the heart to tell you).

To conclude:

The suitability of sentimental wedding gifts depends on your relationship with the couple — how close you are to them and how well you know them. When in doubt, inquire with the couple or someone very close to them about whether they think the gift will be a good fit. 

Experiential Wedding Gifts

Giving a couple an experience such as dinner out or a romantic weekend away can be a great idea, depending on how well you know the couple and their preferences (and how much you’re willing to spend!)

If you’re thinking of going the experiential route, first consider:

Potential travel and dining restrictions, physical abilities, and suitability of activity. 

Pre-pandemic, it wasn’t uncommon for guests to contribute to a couple’s honeymoon fund. Fluctuating travel restrictions and indoor dining regulations make gifting couples with an experience a little more challenging. Remember to consider things such as food allergies, fitness levels, and what kinds of activities the couple enjoys doing together. 

Another unique experiential concept is monthly meal kits or farm-to-table produce deliveries. This combo may well be the perfect practical and experiential wedding gift idea for foodies!

To conclude: 

Experiential gifts can make great wedding gifts for couples that already have enough stuff, or in the absence of a gift registry. Just be sure to take all factors into consideration!

Before You Choose, There’s One More Wedding Gift Idea That Checks All the Boxes! 

The Best Wedding Gifts Have Elements That Give Back in Some Way

Practical items make a couple’s daily life together easier or more enjoyable. Sentimental articles offer feelings of nostalgia or comfort. Experiential gifts bring couples closer through the pleasure of trying new things together.

What if You Could Give a Wedding Gift That Encompasses All Three?

Imagine a wedding gift that is practical, sentimental, and experiential and is suitable for ALL couples regardless of age, personal preferences, lifestyle, location, or religion. We’ve got the best wedding gifts that couples will remember long after they say I do!
