- Consider a personalized "platter people gift"--a novelty gift idea, especially for military people who like to collect plates. These feature figures that are lighthearted and cheerful, and each can be custom dressed. Order your platter with the civilian bride dressed in a white wedding gown and the military groom wearing his dress uniform. If the bride is the one who is in the military, specify that she be in her dress uniform. Another choice is a set of Military Christmas ornaments for their first Christmas together. A cute house-shaped plaque crafted from wood stating "Home Is Where the (Branch) Sends Us" is another idea for military newlyweds, or a military-themed garden flag will dress up the patio area.
- Buy a photo frame that's custom-made for the occasion. A personalized yellow ribbon military family photo frame is a good choice for them as they become a family by exchanging vows. A collage frame is another idea, with the couple's military branch accents.
- Don't forget the basics. Most newlyweds need necessities for bedroom and bath, so check out military logo blankets and rugs. You may also find sheet sets, comforters and throws with the military logo. For the living room, decorative pillows with accents for the particular branch of military help show military pride. Camouflage towels lend a military hint to the bath, also. For the kitchen, surprise the couple with a military logo canister set.
