When a young couple is married they receive gifts to help them set up their home. Traditionally, the bride’s parents may provide the young couple with a set of fine china for entertaining on special occasions. The china set comes with salad plates, dinner plates, tea cups, saucers, and soup bowls. The couple will also often receive a set of silver ware to help make sure that no one has to eat with plastic utensils when the families visit.

Sets of basic glassware may be received as a wedding gift as well. Usually these are basic water tumblers and often the newly married couple will receive several styles of glassware from several different gift-givers. It can be difficult to figure out what kind of gift is needed unless the couple has registered either at a local department store or with an online retailer. Even then, prices and available selections from the registry may not match up with the gift-giver’s budget or style.

Although fine china and everyday glassware is usually covered, most new couples can use a set of barware as well. Barware consists of specialized glasses such as martini glasses, beer mugs, wine glasses, and even shot glasses or margarita glasses. The wide variety of options for barware mean that the gift can be large (consisting of many different types of glasses) or more modest (with just single set of wine glasses for example).

Etched glassware is often chosen by the bride and groom as the gift item for members of the wedding party. Champagne flutes etched with the newlywed couple’s name, the wedding date, and the participant’s role in the wedding, Best Man or Maid of Honor, for example, are very popular choices. While there might even be a similar flute for the bride and groom, they are usually treated as keepsakes rather than used for drinking, so a set of champagne flutes is still an appropriate wedding gift.

Of course, if you are attending the wedding you probably know the wedding couple well enough to know whether barware is an appropriate gift or not. Obviously if the couple does not drink at all or if either of them have a drinking problem, then you should avoid wedding gifts such as barware that are related to drinking.

It is also appropriate to check with other friends of the bride and groom to coordinate gifts. You want to avoid duplicates, of course, but you can also pair up with other wedding attendees to coordinate gifts to make sure that the couple receives a full set without having any one gift-giver having to spend too much.
