GIFTS Arty Party 11496 views
If you already have the perfect home, putting together a gift list at a gallery could be the perfect solution. Anstey Galleries’ gift list service offers a collection of artistic delights that will remind the happy couple of their special day forever.
With an increasing number of couples living together before they finally get hitched, conventional gift lists which include saucepans and duvets, are no longer always appropriate. A piece of artwork, such as a sculpture, painting or even jewellery, is a fresh and exciting wedding gift and will last a lifetime.
Gift List Consultant Katie Herridge explains: “At Anstey Galleries we offer an alternative to traditional wedding lists and believe that guests would love to buy the bride and groom an original piece of art that will remind of them of their big day.
“More practical gifts were ideal when couples left their respective family homes and moved in together after getting married but with more people choosing to live with their partner before they wed, a gift list is the perfect opportunity to transform their house into a home with original art. With work starting from £25 and the facility for guests to contribute towards more expensive items that the couple has chosen, we have gifts for all budgets.”
The nationwide service provides customers with a friendly consultant to help with art selection so there is no need to be apprehensive and once gifts are selected the list can be conveniently viewed and purchased securely online. The gallery also offers an invaluable gift monitoring service to help with thank you cards, gift wrapping and complimentary delivery. Further, if that is not enough, the bride and groom receive 5% discount on all purchases over £100 for life!

GIFTS Sharing Caring 12771 views
Putting together a wish list can be awkward at times. But if you really want that new sofa and don't know how to ask for it, Nearly Married have come up with a solution. Get your guests to chip in by splitting the gift into parts. But your sofa remains whole - honest!
For couples who don’t feel comfortable adding higher priced gifts to their list, the new SuperShare option at Nearly Married is a great solution! By splitting the cost of more expensive gifts, it’s clear that couples don’t expect guests to have to spend lots of money on a gift. It also means that couples don’t need to restrict themselves to lower priced gifts. They can now consider adding gifts to their list which they may have excluded before as the cost can now be shared between a number of friends. It’s great for guests too – they can club together with others to buy a gift without having to know them or make complicated plans. And if a guest wants to splash out, they can buy every part of a shared gift!
Any gift costing £100 or more can be shared with couples deciding how many times they want to split a gift so that they’re happy with the cost of each part. It’s also straightforward for guests to use. They can see what the total price is for the gift and how many parts there are to the gift.
Nearly Married provides a breakdown, letting couples know the value of gifts which have already been purchased as well as the gifts which are still available for guests to buy. You'll also get information showing how many parts of each split gift have been purchased or are still available. And if there are parts of a gift which have not been purchased by guests when the list is closed Nearly Married offer various options so that couples get the gifts they want. 
This innovative new feature is exclusive to Nearly Married. To find out more about SuperShare and Nearly Married’s wedding gift list service go to nearlymarried.co.uk. Registration is free and you’ll find thousands of gifts for your gift list which you can mix with money for your honeymoon, add charity gifts, ethical gifts, gift vouchers, one-off experiences - or perhaps a sofa?click to read more gift ideas >
