A traditional Irish Wedding Gift? - irish wedding gifts
Looking for ideas for a traditional Irish wedding gift. It belongs to the husband of the woman. I searched the web some, but much of what I think is a bit stereotyped. Almost everything has clover in it and that's not what the couple goes on. Ideas?

Irish Wedding Gifts A Traditional Irish Wedding Gift?
7 comments:
Here are some of Ireland's traditional ideas of the book "The Traditional Irish Wedding" by Bridget Haggerty:
- Served Bunratty Meade (a honey wine in the medieval banquet at Bunratty Castle. It is a recipe on the oldest drink in Ireland. If consumed at weddings because we believe it will promote virility. If a child was born nine months after the wedding was due to the meadow! Couples also drank glass for a full month after the wedding, to be claimed, where we use the word pair also drank special glasses for a full month remaining after the wedding that being said, where we word honeymoon. It had come to protect for the pair of stories that, at the bride's mind.)
- Lucky Horseshoe. Irish brides used to carry a real horseshoe for good luck. (Permanent residence permit if not) the good fortune to go outside. You can Horseshoe porcelain, whose promised by the majority of the Irish transport system in these days, or a fabric that is worn on the wrist.
- Handkerchief magic. This charming custom is having of the bride wore a handkerchief with a few specific points can be converted into a christening bonnet for the first child. With a pair of scissors will be converted into a handkerchief that your child can make their wedding day.
- Make-up bells. The ringing of bells is thought to drive evil spirits away, restore harmony if a couple struggles to remember, and even a few of their wedding vows. Giving a bell as a gift has become an Irish tradition. You can also host their guests to ring handbells as a process. (You may want to know when they should be rung - perhaps mention it yet) in their program with an explanation of the habit. Guests can also initiate their bells ring at the reception instead.
Good luck!
If I were a young Irish like a greyhound, Irish ... Since I am not a man, more difficult for me to think differently, but donations are unisex!
If my house was big enough, I would still like one, despite the fact that I'm not Irish.
Good luck and congratulations to your friends.
Aside from the clover, Celtic designs are the most popular is the core of the Trinity and the Claddagh

or you can (a trip to Ireland for a weekend) and maybe visit the place where they make Guinness. Shock
I suspect that the groom is Irish, so I should perhaps say, what your family crest or coat of arms? It would be nice. There are many sites where you can look at these kinds of things.
Good luck!

For Waterford, on the glass, which also sell candles, vases and jugs.
Something to Waterford Crystal. Maybe a nice paperweight for your desk with the date marked on it.
