By Beattie Sharona

Summer is the traditional wedding season so you should start thinking about buying wedding gifts ahead of those special events.

Choosing a wedding gift can be an unexpected source of anxiety. You want to choose wedding presents that will be cherished by the receiving newly-weds after all.

Some people choose a present that will be a memory of the wedding day itself. Others choose a more practical wedding gift, sometimes via a wedding gift list the couple have prepared in advance.

Online shopping has become a way of discovering wedding gift inspiration. You do not have to trail around busy shops looking for that ideal present. Instead you can search online in the comfort of your own home.

One very popular idea is personalized wedding gifts, these enable the giver to make a present truly one of a kind by engraving names, dates or even a message on to a suitable item. Engraved gifts make a memorable wedding present.

Choosing the perfect present to fit your budget isn't as hard as you think it is. Use the following ideas to truly inspire you to pick the perfect personalized wedding present to remember..

1. Pictures A popular choice is to personalize a picture with a message - designs include cartoons of the bride and groom, wedding cars, or the place of marriage. These make a lovely keepsake of the wedding day itself.

2. Photo frames Two ideas here - both use personalized photoframes. One is to engrave the frame with the wedding date or couple's names. The other is to add a wedding photo of the happy couple inside and present it to them after the event.

3. Wedding Baubles - One lovely idea is to buy a personalized bauble for the couple's tree. These decorations are made usually from glass or china and engraved with names and the wedding date, making a lovely present, brought out each year and placed on the Christmas tree as a special reminder of the happy occasion.

4. Keepsake Boxes - Weddings create many keepsakes - from the orders of service, wedding invitations, to cards and notes from well-wishers. A keepsake box is the perfect way to store all these treasured mementos and keep the memories safe!

5. Pillowcases - This is a cute wedding present which modern couples will adore. Matching Egyptian cotton pillowcases. One design idea is each pillow case carrying half of one design, so the picture completes when they are placed together on a bed. Another is one pillowcase printed with "Mr" and the other with "Mrs."

Shopping for wedding gifts should be fun. By giving a personalized wedding gift, you are giving something that is truly unique and thoughtful and one which you can pick according to your budget.
