Creating Special And Unique Cross Stitch Wedding Gifts

By Julia Wigham

A handmade and personalized cross stitch wedding present is a way to give the couple something they will cherish and hand down for generations. It helps solve the difficult question of what to give to a close friend or relative. Whether your cross stitch skills are beginner to advanced, ideas can be found to match your interest.

The following are a few ideas to use as you consider a cross stitch wedding gift:

For a Christian couple, a sampler pattern using the couple's name, the date of the wedding and a Christian cross is an appropriate way to celebrate their ceremony and their faith. For many Christian, their covenant with God is as important as their covenant with each other and your gift can celebrate that commitment.

Flowers are yet another way to create a beautiful cross stitch piece. You can include a scripture or poem about love and surround it with flowers. Or use something short and sweet like "Just Married" or "Love of a Lifetime."

Items that represent love, purity or unity are great symbols to use when making something for a wedding. Rings and doves are two different ideas.

One cross stitch wedding gift idea that may take a little more skill and time is cross-stitching the invitation. Many couples choose to display their framed wedding invitation in their home. A cross stitched invitation adds a special, homemade touch.

The themes for a wedding gift are endless. You can include designs with the lyrics to the song that was sung at their wedding, incorporate hearts, or create a unity candle with the family names of the bride and groom. These are but a few of the themes to choose from

Of course, if you know the bride and groom very well, you will have less problems deciding on a theme that will merge their likes into a flawless design. The gift can be personalized and unique making it a cross stitch wedding gift they're sure to enjoy. And you'll be satisfied knowing that your gift will bring them enjoyment for years to come.
