Q&A: What are appropriate Indian wedding gifts?

Question by : What are appropriate Indian wedding gifts?
My wife’s best friend who was her maid of honor is getting married in India. My wife would have been her friend’s maid of honor, but we just had our first baby born last week – the wedding is the last week of December. What is an appropriate gift and traditional Indian gift that my wife could give to her close friend, besides money?

Gold jewelry, but that is usually given by the bride’s parents. Some people give really nice sarees to the bride. Pretty much anything you would give to an American couple is good to give to an Indian couple; just make sure the voltage is compatible if you are giving an appliance.

buy them something they need for their house.. like wine glasses, or a pretty vase or picture frame.

“jcullum” has given the best answer. Usually you give money to the couple at their wedding but you have said that you wish to give something else. Therefore, jewellery.
