A wedding is a momentous occasion, so it's understandable if you want to treat your loved ones to something really special. Luxury wedding gifts are a great way to show the happy couple you went the extra mile, especially if you're super close. The term "luxury" doesn't automatically translate to a big-ticket wedding gift, though. While you're welcome to splurge on something high-end, a luxurious wedding present doesn't have to be uber expensive. It can be anything from upgraded cookware they'll use daily to a thrilling experience that'll create unforgettable memories. Our top tip? Set a wedding budget and stick with it, whether you're a couple curating your registry or a guest deciding how much to spend on a wedding gift. Ready to shop for luxury wedding presents? Find our favorite elevated picks (along with how and where to find them) below.
How to Shop for Luxury Wedding Gifts
When shopping for any wedding gift—luxury or not—it's important to start with the couple's wedding registry. Many engaged couples create a wish list to direct guests toward what they really want, from traditional wedding gifts like cookware to fun activities they can enjoy in their downtime. With the help of our wedding registry finder, you can access their most wanted items and see exactly what they're coveting.

If their wedding registry doesn't provide any clues for the perfect luxury wedding gift, there are other ways to find one. Remember: Expensive wedding gifts aren't always good wedding gifts. Just because an item boasts a hefty price tag doesn't mean it's something the couple will enjoy—or that it's even worth the money. Shop consciously, vet the quality of your options and read reviews before purchasing a luxury item.
Considering the couple's lifestyle is also important when choosing the best luxury wedding gifts. Ultimately, you'll want to spend your money wisely on something that they'll deem both beautiful and useful. If they've never shown any interest in entertaining, splurging on a set of crystal glassware probably doesn't make sense (even if it's considered a luxurious gift). You want your present to be a treat they can enjoy—not something that's resigned to a dusty shelf.

Luxury can mean different things to different people, which makes shopping for high-end wedding gifts both challenging and fun.
