3 thoughtful wedding gift ideas to help commemorate the occasion

Want to commemorate a couple's special occasion? These three gift ideas are personal, touching and will be remembered for years to come.

Weddings are a great chance to celebrate a couple in love – and bearing a unique gift is an excellent opportunity to tell newlyweds how much they mean to you. Although many people buy gifts off a wedding registry, it is even more meaningful to give one that commemorates the wedding day. To help the happy couple remember the occasion, here are three unique gift ideas that are personal, touching and will be remembered for years to come.

To help the newlyweds celebrate their honeymoon, get both the bride and the groom matching passport covers.

• You can find monogrammed passports that you can customize with the couples' names or the date of their wedding or honeymoon. Passport covers are a great idea because they'll be handy during the honeymoon and for years after.

After the wedding, the bride and groom are going to have a lot of thank you notes to send, and they're going to have to spend a lot on postage.

• Consider getting the couple a collection of beautiful stamps with images that will mean something to them.
• Buying stamps as a wedding present and giving them with a thoughtful note is a gift that is both visually pleasing and extremely useful.

Orchids are beautiful flowers that can last for many years, so invest in a beautiful orchid as a wedding present.

• Plant the orchid in a beautiful pot and give it to the couple to take care of together.
• Giving a new couple something to take care of together will help them learn how to work together and be nurturing in the grand scheme of life.
• Also, the couple will get to enjoy how big the orchid grows compared to how big it was when they first received it.
