Give the couple a place setting in the china pattern that they select. Alternatively, you can purchase them a platter or large serving bowl in their china pattern. Stick to what the couple have on the registry -- their taste in china and yours might not match, after all.

Entertaining Items

Encourage the couple to entertain at home by providing them with gifts that suit this lifestyle. Barware items, ranging from wine glasses and margarita glasses to sterling silver cocktail shakers, are popular wedding gifts. Serving platters work well for entertaining as well, and you can have the couple's initials engraved on them. Ceramic casserole dishes make entertaining easy and are a much-used gift item. If the couple have registered for a number of barware items, you can create a gift basket full of their must-have registry items.
Bed and Bath Items

The couple moving into a new home will likely have plenty of bed and bath items on their registry. Give them a duvet or comforter set, or a pair of high-thread-count sheets. Home accessories, from candles to wall art, work well as a wedding gift -- but stick to their registry, as these items should reflect the couple's decorative taste. A set of embroidered bath towels or a shower curtain and matching accessories are popular bath items that work well as wedding gifts.
