Wedding Gift Etiquette in India
- Cash in an envelope is the most appreciated gift at Indian weddings — practical, universally valued, and lets the couple buy what they actually need for their new home or honeymoon.
- Gold jewellery or coin is traditional for close family — a small gold coin (2g or 5g) is auspicious and retains its monetary value.
- Avoid gifting clothes unless you know the couple’s sizes and style preferences very well.
- Coordinate with other guests for a large appliance group gift — pooling ₹5,000 from 5 guests buys something much more useful than 5 separate small gifts.
- Include a handwritten card with personal blessings — weddings are emotional milestones and a heartfelt handwritten message is remembered long after the gift is used.
