Jewish Wedding Gifts: Creating the Ultimate List

Once your preparations are underway for a beautiful Jewish wedding celebration you can turn to the most exciting part of the planning process, how to create the ultimate Jewish Wedding gift list. Remember, if you’re planning a Jewish engagement party, your guests might want to get you a little something to say Mazel tov, so you’ll need to think about having an engagement gift list too.

Yussel's Place has everything you need for the perfect Jewish Wedding Celebration

In creating the wedding gift list of your dreams you will need to make sure that as well as the traditional home gifts you would like to include, that you select a gift registry that provides an exclusive selection of Jewish wedding presents. Your guests will love nothing more than the opportunity to furnish your home with Judaica gifts that the happy wedding couple have chosen to start their married lives together. By listing with a Gift Registry you'll make it easy for your guests to buy the perfect Jewish wedding present for you.

Now for the fun part, selecting potential gifts! Check out our most popular Judaica choices for our Jewish wedding gift list couples:

  1. Hamsas - The hamsa is a palm-shaped amulet commonly used in jewelry and wall hangings. Depicting the open right hand, it is an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in many societies throughout history. 
  2. Challah board, knife, and cover set - Add a stunning Challah board & knife set decorated with beautiful illustrations for many happy years to come at the Shabbat table.
  3. Havdalah set - A beautiful Havdalah set designed to accompany the symbolic end of Shabbat.
  4. Kiddush cup - Kiddush, the blessing made over a cup of wine or grape juice at the beginning of Shabbat and before Jewish festivals, can be made even more special with a beautifully designed Kiddush cup.
  5. Matzah plate and cover - a specially designed Matzah cover can add the perfect touch to the Passover Seder table for a newly married couple.
  6. Jewelry - a hand-crafted or designed charm, bracelet, or amulet is a beautiful gift for the bride or groom.
  7. Menorah / Chanukiah – a very popular Jewish wedding gift list selection that almost needs no introduction! The ultimate wedding gift for a newly married couple.
  8. Mezuzah – a beautiful item of Judaica for the Jewish wedding gift list as this is an important component of the Jewish faith affixed to the doorways of Jewish homes. Select from a range of designs from contemporary to traditional to suit the happy couple.
  9. Passover / Seder plate – An ideal Jewish wedding gift to bring colour to the Pesach table! Intricately and thoughtfully designed to match the special occasion.
