Unique Appliance Wedding Gift Ideas for Couples
A wedding is an exciting event that brings together families to celebrate the commitment of two people. Historically, wedding registries and gifts were meant to help young couples start their lives off together. They needed plates, cookware, and other home accessories as they left home to live on their own. However, modern marriages look different. It’s more common for couples to have the home accessories they need – especially if they already live together, are older, or are entering their second marriage.
What do you get for the couple who has everything? Consider buying them a new home appliance that can improve their kitchen and replace an item that is already breaking or wearing out. Get to know some of the best appliances for wedding gifts and why this unconventional idea will be appreciated by the newlyweds.
How to Give Appliances as Wedding Gifts
While you might be tempted to run to Spencer’s TV & Appliance to pick out your favorite appliances, there are a few guidelines to follow when buying appliances for wedding gifts. First, talk to the couple. Ask about their kitchen appliances and see if there is anything they would like replaced. If you know that they already have a worn-out dishwasher or an inconsistent range, you can directly propose buying them an appliance for a wedding gift. This gift doesn’t have to be a surprise.
Next, take the measurements for the appliance from the home. This ensures that you don’t purchase an item that is too large (or even just too tall) for the house. From there, you can go shopping and choose an appliance that you think the couple would like. Some of the best appliances for wedding gifts come in different colors or offer splurge features that the couple might not be able to pay for on their own.
Another option is to set up a registry where guests can contribute to an appliance fund. This is one of the best last-minute wedding gift ideas because a guest can literally contribute to the registry on the day of the event. The couple can then pick out their ideal appliance themselves.
There are plenty of gift ideas for weddings that commemorate the day and highlight the love between the couple. However, many people also appreciate practical gifts they will use every day.
Unique Appliance Wedding Gift Ideas for Couples
If you are considering buying an appliance as a wedding gift (either as a large purchase on your own or as a pooled purchase) look into a few options that can elevate any home. Here are four ideas for the new couple to help them kick off their life of wedded bliss.
Thermador® 24" Stainless Steel Built-in Coffee Machine
Thermador Built In Coffee Machine
This isn’t any normal coffee machine. This model by Thermador is built into the wall and allows you to enjoy a coffee house experience without ever leaving your home. You can store up to eight personalized beverages, which means each family member can enjoy their coffee in their own way. Not too much sugar, never too much cream.
This coffee machine can make shots of espresso, cups of tea, and a variety of lattes and cappuccinos. You can also adjust the size of the coffee, the strength of the brew (up to six different levels), and even the temperature of the beverage. You can even fill this coffee maker with whole beans and use the Ceramic Disk Grinding System to create some of the freshest coffee around.
This coffee machine makes a great wedding gift because it gives the couple a unique appliance they likely don’t already have. If the pair absolutely loves coffee, give them the gift of the perfect brew.
LG 21.8 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator
A refrigerator is one of the best appliances for wedding gifts regardless of the culinary abilities of the couple. Whether the pair love visiting farmers’ markets and creating dishes with fresh vegetables, or their shelves are packed with take-out containers, the refrigerator is an essential appliance.
This is a popular French-door model that was designed for starter homes. It is big enough to store your groceries but won’t seem bulky and in the way. It also comes with LG’s proprietary Smart Cooling® system that immediately responds to temperature fluctuations with a blast of cold air to keep food fresh.
If you are considering purchasing this refrigerator as a wedding gift, you can’t go wrong with this model. There are plenty of online reviews that highlight what a great appliance it is. One buyer writes, “Whoever designed this refrigerator saw the need to maximize space. The deep door shelves make it easy to see and retrieve items. The main shelves are easy to adjust. The party tray is probably the best feature, making access very easy.”
Bosch Ascenta® Series 24" Stainless Steel Front Control Built-In Dishwasher
A dishwasher isn’t the most exciting of wedding gift ideas, but this appliance can help couples spend less time cleaning so they can spend more time enjoying more romantic activities. Many starter homes (especially older models) don’t have dishwashers, even if they have the space and connection abilities.
This model has six total wash cycles and can fit up to 14 place settings. There is plenty of flexibility in the loading process in order to maximize the total number of dishes that get cleaned. This is also an environmentally friendly model that saves up to 280 gallons of water each year.
Of all the dishwashers on the market, this might be the best one. It has nearly 10,000 reviews and 94% of customers say they would recommend the dishwasher to their friends and family. One person says, “We love this dishwasher so much that we moved to a new house and had it installed! It is quiet and does a great job cleaning the dishes. I will never have another brand dishwasher. This far exceeds others!”
Frigidaire® 1.8 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Over The Range Microwave
An over-the-range microwave is a great appliance for heating up food and ventilating kitchens so the air is cleaner. This particular model was designed to maximize the amount of food it can hold with an extra-large interior. The Fits-More™ capacity can even accommodate a 13” x 9” baking dish.
This microwave has a maximum CFM of 300, which gives it enough power to pull grease, smoke, and other odors through filtration and push clean air out. This prevents food smells from traveling through the house and lingering long after the meal was eaten. There are also two fan speed options to choose from, so your vent isn’t always running at full blast.
There are plenty of online reviews that can help you understand the benefits and uses of this microwave. One buyer writes, “My range microwave is stylish and easy to use. I especially like the baked potato setting and my husband likes the popcorn setting. Easy to reheat casseroles.”
If another member of the family is considering buying the couple a range, look into buying this microwave to complement it. All of the guests can come together to furnish the new couple’s kitchen.
FAQ
How do wedding registries work?
Couples add items to wedding registries that they would like the guests to give them. Registries were previously used to help the newlyweds fill their homes but are now used as a way to guide gift-giving. Modern registries can help couples pay for their honeymoon, buy appliances, and even make payments on their mortgages.
Are dishwashers one-size-fits-all?
Dishwashers come in different sizes, with some models having more space than others. However, most dishwashers are meant to fit in specific spaces underneath cabinets. It is better to measure the space where your dishwasher will go before you start shopping for one, that way you won’t buy a model that is too big.
