Our First Wedding Gift!

February 12th, 2009 @ 6:04 pm by Mrs. Kitten

While at my parents’ house last week I discovered that one of our family friends had dropped off a wedding gift for Mr. Kitten and me! I REALLY wanted to tear it open the moment I discovered it, but since the gifts are for us as a couple, I restrained myself. I had to wait over a week to see Mr. Kitten and open the gift, but today we finally got to unwrap it!

It’s a set of personalized mugs with our initials and wedding date! It’s not from our registry and we love it! What a thoughtful gift! The company that makes them is called Rust Designs, and they make personalized dinnerware and other items. I am totally going to copy this idea and give these as a gift at the next wedding I go to.

Getting gifts from outside the registry can be a bit scary. You want to love and put to use wedding gifts that you receive, but if the gift giver’s taste doesn’t match yours, that can be difficult. On the other hand, it is always nice to get an unexpected gift that you love.
Have you been pleasantly surprised by a non-registry gift? What was it?

That is such a cute gift!! I think it’s so thoughtful that they would include your initials and wedding date on the mugs. I will definitely have to steal this idea for future gifts to newlywed couples. It’s so much more personal than a gift off of the registry, and I’m sure it will be put to good use.

Those mugs are so cute! My favorite non-registry gift so far was an engagement gift from a couple we are good friends with that are unable to attend our wedding. They gave us a gorgeous cake knife and server to use at the wedding so that a “little piece” of them will be with us in a way! I was so touched!

I registered for one of these plates, and I think I might have to buy it for myself soon because it doesn’t look like anyone else is getting it for me :)
