Perfect Wedding Gifts for Disney Newlyweds: Tips

If you have a friend or family member that is getting married and they really enjoy Disney or one of Disney's characters there is no question that a Disney wedding gift is appropriate.

Now after researching, I have found the average gift is between $125 to $200, of course depending on the region you live in. Frankly, there are so many choice to give a couple that you could have a fun time picking the perfect gift.

Of course you need to know the couple well enough to find out what their favorite Disney character is or which is their favorite park (Disneyland, Disney's California or Disney World.) The answers to these questions can pinpoint the perfect wedding gift.

Here's some of the best Disney items to consider:

1. An annual pass or an annual pass upgrade. If your Newlyweds are hoping to get to the park more often to play, then you may want to increase how many days they can go. This is an especially great gift if they live in Southern California and Florida.

2. Offer up a weekend at one of the Disneyland Hotels. Now if your newlyweds are going to be honeymooning at one of the Resorts, this is going to be an immediately welcomed gift. Even if they use it at a later date, two days at a Disney Resort Hotel will be wonderful surprise.

Best Wedding Gift Ever

I just got back from my parents house where they had me rooting through all the stuff in their basement. I ran across a box of matches with two of my dearest friends names inscribed on it — as well as their wedding date.

The three of us went to a small college together. Toward the end of our college days we had all moved into "town" and lived within a block of one another.

Every sports season, no matter what the sport, we'd get together for the game — Even if we had to set the VCR.

The guy, not to my surprise, told me he was going to ask the girl to marry him.

There was never any doubt in my mind as to what I was going to get them for a wedding gift. You see, the Washington Bullets held a 3-day preseason (before they go to D.C.) workout at the small college we attended.

This particular season (1997) our beloved Bullets had make it to the playoffs as the eighth seed to face certain doom against the Jordan/Pippen led Bulls.

This is where is gets good:

The Bullets had announced that they needed a couple of practices away from the hub-bub of D.C. so they were coming to our small school for two days worth of practice before they were to be crushed in the playoffs.

I saw my opportunity.

Their wedding wasn't until eight-months later, but I knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. So I grabbed a Sharpie, my beat up basketball, put them in my backpack, and rode my bike to the gym.

While they were practicing I was trying to figure out where they which exit the players would be using. There were only two. I automatically assumed they would try and sneak out the back. I was wrong — this mistake would end up costing me the autograph of Gheorghe Muresan.

I quickly ran inside the gym where the players were meandering out. I was in a bit of a daze from all the excitement. The first guy I saw was my favorite Bullet, Rod Strickland. I asked softly, "Ummm, Mr. Strickland . . . Would you mind signing this ball for . . . ."

"HELL NO!", he said. And walked past. Then he laughed and said, "Yeah, sure." As I explained that it was to be a wedding gift he looked at the ball and started making fun of it. "You're giving this ball to your friends as a wedding present?" More laughter.

Tim Legler was next. Harvey Grant. Calbert Cheaney. Tracey Murray. A few others.

Some Website: “iPods Are Not Good Wedding Gifts”

I’m writing this up because of how delightfully ham-handed it is, which suggests their tactic worked. Basically, some “gadget matchmaker” service called Retrevo ran a study asking newlyweds what gadgets they wanted as wedding gifts.

38% wanted a camcorder, 24% wanted a digitial camera, and 2% wanted an MP3 player. I suspect thats because anyone at marriageable age right now - including those weird states where you can marry your cousin at 16 (looking at you, Delaware!) - already has an MP3 player.

Note there is no sample size mentioned so they probably asked their immediate family, making the entire process slightly statistically unsavory.

“Director of Content” Andrew Eisner writes:

“In the traditional sense, wedding gifts are practical, coveted, or sentimental items that the couple can share,” says Eisner. “Wedding gifts are intended to help the couple in this new phase of their life.

Not only do most newlyweds already have an MP3 player, but it’s a gadget that tends to isolate the recipients rather than bring them together. The bottom line; if you’re going to give someone a wedding gift, get them a camcorder, not an iPod.”

Then he plugs the heck out of his weird gadget referral service. Oh well. Now I know what not to buy Dad when he weds his 24-year-old fifth wife in Reno.
