Fun Christmas Ideas For Newlyweds The first Christmas that you share as husband and wife is an unforgettable time. It is a time to share favorite traditions, show your love, and start new traditions of your own. These are some fun Christmas ideas for newlyweds.
Certainly, gifts are one of the big parts of the holiday season. For the man who is looking for something extra special to make his new wife's Christmas merry and bright, consider gifts of jewelry which match her bridal set. Gifts which coordinate with her wedding jewelry are a lovely way to complete her set, and new brides always anything that remind them of their weddings (and sparkles are always great!). One fun presentation idea is to tuck the jewelry into little ornaments which open and have her find them on the tree on Christmas morning.
Christmas Card
When you are recently married, one thing which you have in abundance is great photographs. Why not choose a really special image of the two of you to have made into a painting or a framed print on canvas? This would be a fantastic gift idea from either the bride or groom to his or her new spouse. A painted version of a wedding picture could also be a lovely holiday gift for parents or grandparents.
Another fantastic use of your favorite wedding photos is your holiday greeting card. Even if you are not normally a fan of photo Christmas cards, everyone on your list will enjoy receiving a card with a beautiful wedding picture on it. There are tons of great websites which make ordering photo cards a snap. Then you don't have to do another Christmas card with a portrait again until your first child is born.
After putting together a wedding, most young married couples are practically party planning pros. Take advantage of this by hosting a holiday open house for all of your friends and family. It is a really fun holiday event that will quickly become one of your favorite things about Christmastime year after year. The concept of the holiday open house is quite simple: pick a weekend afternoon in early to mid December, send out invitations asking guests to drop by between certain hours (usually a three or four hour time span is best; the smaller your guest list, the shorter the time window should be) to share a cup of holiday cheer, some Christmas cookies, and a few light munchies.
Your first Christmas as newlyweds is a great opportunity to establish holiday customs that you will enjoy every year that follows. Some may be things that you have done together in holidays past, they could be holiday traditions from one of your families, or it could be something entirely new. There are all sorts of fun ideas. It could be opening one gift on Christmas eve, going ice skating every holiday season, or one of my favorites, having Chinese food every year on Christmas eve. Thinking of special traditions to start and sharing your most cherished childhood customs will be one of the most meaningful parts of your first Christmas as husband and wife.
