Wedding Gifts

Indian Weddings are about a lot of things; decorations, food, photography, music, invitations and a lot more; but there’s one thing that remains to be a part of every single wedding be it a small one or large one and that is ‘shagun’. In the weddings the housemates’ gifts something or the other to the guests in the form of ‘shagun’; it goes to the groom’s family, bride’s family, close relatives and at times also a return gift to all the guests. Also, the guests bring gifts for the couple as a token of congratulation/best wishes; the gifting opportunity in the wedding season is big and everyone aims at buying something different or special for the guests and relatives; and also, for the couple.

 

There are variety of gifting options for the wedding; there are food hampers, gift baskets, chocolates, gadgets, electronic items, antiques and a lot more. In the 70s – 80s the gifting included clothes, silver coins, gold and God idols; with time the giftings in wedding has changed.
