You can admit it, you don't want to be featured in one of those "worst wedding gift ever" type of stories. So you're shopping fiercely trying to find something for a wedding present for the happy couple, that isn't too toaster-like and isn't something so exotic that they'll never use it, like his and hers electric dog brushes.

Instead, you can let the couple pick out what they would like by getting them a personalized wedding gift card. It's the perfect way to give a present that they will like, because the newlyweds can choose what they want based on the amount you put on the gift card.

Another way to ensure your attendants

feel special is to include a personalized gift card for each of them. You can usually do this at the store where you set up your wedding gift registry.
