25 Thoughtful (And Appropriate!) Wedding Gifts for Coworkers

One of the most unforgettable moments on The Office was Jim and Pam's wedding (arguably, making it one of our top on-screen weddings of all time). The entire Dunder Mifflin crew shows up to celebrate their colleagues with plenty of shenanigans and one-of-a-kind gifts. While we admire their enthusiasm, you'll want to thoughtfully choose a wedding gift for your own coworkers (as in, you might want to skip Dwight's turtles and Michael Scott's hand-painted portrait from memory). For practical wedding gift etiquette beyond the sitcom realm, you're in the right place. We've got you covered on what makes an appropriate wedding gift for your boss, employee or teammates, along with shoppable suggestions below.

Before you start shopping, there are a few things to consider, including whether you were invited to the wedding. If your work bestie wants you at their special day, it's customary to bring a wedding present. Check the couple's registry to see what they're hoping for and select something from there. (If you think your coworker is registered on The Knot, you can find their wish list here.) If you weren't invited but still want to acknowledge their milestone, a simple gift like a gift card or a tasty treat is a thoughtful way to congratulate the newlyweds.

When it comes to picking an appropriate wedding gift amount for a coworker, aiming for a range between $50 and $100 is usually a safe bet. However, feel free to adjust the amount up or down based on your relationship with the coworker and your budget. If you're part of a larger team, consider pooling together for a group gift to splurge on something a bit pricier. To make your choice easier, we've rounded up a variety of wedding gift ideas for coworkers, ranging from $15 to $150, to help you find something that will truly delight the person who makes work enjoyable every day.
