Wedding Gift Ideas for Indian Couples — Beyond the Envelope
When Cash Feels Impersonal
In Indian weddings, cash in a decorated envelope is the safe default. But if you want to stand out from the 200 other guests, a thoughtful gift hamper makes a lasting impression. The key is choosing something the couple will use together in their new life.
