Funny Gifts for a Second Marriage to the Same Person

Think about the each spouse's personality when selecting a gift for their second marriage.

When a couple has divorced but plans to get remarried to each other, friends and family will want to celebrate and give gifts to the happy couple. This occasion creates an unusual situation for guests because, unlike typical newlyweds, the couple will likely not need household items. If the couple has a good sense of humor, humorous gifts could be appropriate for the wedding.

Encore-Themed Gifts

In music, an encore is a performance after the end of a concert, which could make for an appropriate second-marriage gift concept. Encore-themed gifts could include picture frames or posters with the word "encore" printed on them. You can use this idea on an amusing and sentimental gift, such as a photo collage or champagne glasses, or make it strictly funny, as with a maestro bobblehead doll conducting a orchestra.

Movie Clapboard

As your friends celebrate their own second take, a movie clapboard printed with the phrase "Take 2" could make an appropriate and funny gift. You can also incorporate the "Take 2" idea into a photo frame or photo collage of the couple, or make a video of the couple's pictures and family videos, ending it with "Take 2" and their second wedding date. An actual clapboard or a movie director figurine would also make funny gifts.

So Nice, You Did It Twice

Think of items the couple likes and would like even more in twos, such as two bottles of wine, boxes of candy or movie passes. Wrap the gifts individually, and on the second one include a note that says something to the effect of, "It's so nice, we did it twice!" You can also incorporate this theme into a photo frame as a sentimental gift idea.

Reset Button

Find a big, bright red button that reads "Reset," or paint a button with the word yourself. (You can often find such toys online.) Wrap it in a gift box, and include a note with words of encouragement for the couple to commemorate this special occasion and remind the couple that they can leave the past in the past. Include in your note your observations about the couple and why they make a good match -- especially the second time around.
