It’s not easy to stand out as a gift among other guests, but the newlyweds will definitely remember and appreciate this non-standard approach. If you want to make an unusual and funny surprise with a twist, consider the following conditions in order not to get into an unpleasant situation:
- A cool gift should not have any elements or overtones that can offend the newlyweds, their friends, relatives and colleagues. In order not to offend anyone, consider the permissible limits of humor and the degree of liberation of the newlyweds and other participants in the celebration;

For a small amount (3,000 rubles for 40 acres), you acquire and present to the newlyweds a certificate of ownership of the real site on the territory of the natural satellite of the Earth. Also attached to the certificate is a map, where the boundaries of land, that is, lunar possession are indicated.
Two pairs of boxing gloves. Such a gift will save the situation if you don’t have enough money for an expensive surprise, but there is a strong desire to make a memorable greeting. When handing in gloves, wish the young ones to "play by the rules" and sort things out only with "sports passion." The joke will surely be met with a warm applause. Gloves should be red and blue, symbolizing the feminine and masculine.

Делаем подарок на свадьбу своими руками
Сюрприз, изготовленный собственноручно - это не обязательно примитивный объект, у которого видны швы от клея и торчащие нитки. Можно изготовить такой подарок, который будет ничем не хуже фабричного изделия.
Можно «приготовить» денежный торт. Не спешите смеяться. Такой подарок - это не только классный прием красиво оформить деньги для вручения новобрачным, но и ловкий способ выйти из затруднительного положения, если сумма для подарка не очень велика. Разменяйте сумму на мелкие купюры и соорудите торт, согласно видео-инструкции.
Набор блестящих бокалов - интересный вариант на свадьбу. Для изготовления подарка потребуются стеклянные бокалы на тонкой ножке, набор блесток (одного или нескольких цветов), кисть, малярный скотч, ПВА-клей. Наклейте скотч на стекло, ограничив линию нанесения клея. Затем кистью смажьте те участки, где будут блестки. Обсыпьте бокалы и потрясите их в воздухе, подстелив на стол газету. Оставьте бокалы сохнуть на 30 минут. Подарок готов!
Свадебная корзина - очень нужный и полезный предмет на свадьбе, ведь именно в корзину складывают конверты с подаренными деньгами. Подготовьте плетеную корзинку из лозы (диаметр не менее 20 - 30 см), атласную ткань и шелковые ленты нескольких оттенков, искусственные цветы (лучше розы и эустомы), декоративные бусины, стразы, клеевой пистолет, ножницы.
Обтяните корзинку тканью, заправив лишнюю материю под дно с наружной стороны. Заверните красиво остатки ткани на дне снаружи и, спрятав их друг под друга, склейте пистолетом. Декорируйте корзинку приготовленными элементами (ленты, цветы, бусины) по вашему вкусу. Хороший эффект дает также декоративная бечевка, изящно обвитая на ручку.
