Most Loved Wedding Gifts - The Catholic Company Wedding Gift Guide
Jul 26, 2024 by Cheryl Hadley
Holy Matrimony is a joyous occasion uniting a bride and groom in a sacred covenant with God. It's a covenant so life-altering and sanctifying that it is a sacrament in the Catholic Church. Faithful wedding gifts strengthen, encourage, and inspire—they are tangible reminders of a couple's faithful commitment and help them recall the awe, wonder, and significance of their covenant.
Because sacramentals or other faithful gifts bring graces that strengthen and sustain marriages, and can continue bestowing untold graces for years to come, they are among the most powerful gifts to give or receive.
Many people don't consider gifts of faith when buying a wedding gift, but they are the perfect complement to a gift from a Catholic couple's registry, and can also stand alone as special presents for the happy couple.
At The Catholic Company, we have curated a lovely selection of reverent, distinctive, and beautiful wedding gifts. We'd like to share a few with you here, and invite you to browse our site for many others.
Family Bibles
A family bible is a deeply meaningful and faithful gift for a newly-married couple. It speaks to the centrality of God's word and His promises—in the life of the soul and in the life of the married couple as they embark on a journey through life together, enduring and sharing its mysteries, joys, and sorrows.
These usually feature handsome faux leather covers, beautiful presentation pages, personal records sections to record births and deaths, and other elements like satin ribbon markers and gold foiling.
Some can be personalized on the front with the couple's name or wedding date. Others come in a variety of colors.

Wedding Rosaries & Rosary Holders
Wedding rosaries are more personal and special gifts of faith. These are especially meaningful keepsakes when given by parents, grandparents, godparents, or other close family members and friends.
[[23478,49961]]
We carry individual wedding rosaries meant for the bride and groom, as well as lasso rosaries, where two rosaries are connected by a common centerpiece and crucifix. These are sometimes used in wedding ceremonies as a symbol of unity.
Placed around the couple's shoulders on the altar, the lasso rosary represents their bond. The love of the Blessed Virgin is their inspiration, and the binding together is a reminder of the mutual sacrifice and love required to live a holy marriage.
[[12381,3712,18126,55549]]
Add a beautiful couple's devotional so they can pray and grow together in their bond. Establishing this habit early in their marriage will bear fruit and promote unity for the lifetime of their relationship.
[[49406,37473]]
[[34311,34313]]
[[34312,34314]]
Give the newlyweds a place to hang or store their rosaries to emphasize the importance of prayer in their union, to remind them to place God at the center, and to look to Our Lady for intercession and inspiration.
[[49498,3591]]
Framed Catholic Art
Holy art for the home makes a wonderful wedding gift that nourishes and awakens our faith in the mystery of Christ. Sacred art can take us out of the everyday and into the holy, drawing us into an encounter with Christ and the Church.
[[53824,52792]]
[[29529,52741]]
Catholic art beautifies our spaces and brings the sacred into our everyday lives. It reinforces our faith, inspires our families, and provides focal points for our prayer as we go about our days and seek to fix our hearts on heaven.
[[14349,23121,45284]]
Give holy art that introduces or reinforces important devotions, like Our Lady Undoer of Knots, a devotion which originated when a couple sought healing for their troubled marriage. Or choose from many other striking pieces that reflect who we are as followers of Christ.
[[5611,53629]]
Catholic Plaques
Some images can provide comfort, call us to greater love, and encourage deeper devotion. All of these can help a couple grow in virtue and aspire to holiness in marriage and family life.
[[12365,38919,50459]]
[[40780,40527]]
[[16691,3514]]
Devotional Statues
Statues are also beautiful gifts. These sacramentals can become family heirlooms that, when blessed, confer graces on a family for generations to come.
[[30379,14525]]
[[12852,51223]]
[[11180,1823]]

A home blessing is a faithful, powerful, and meaningful wedding gift. These come in different forms but all with the same purpose—blessing a home and dedicating it to God and His purposes.
[[53829,53365]]
[[10882,17937, 47247]]
Intentionally consecrating a home to the Lord brings graces and protection to those residing there.

Holy Water Fonts
Holy water fonts or bottles make thoughtful, prayerful, and faithful wedding gifts. We carry many different forms, from wall fonts to standing fonts, and beautiful glass bottles we can personalize for the bride and groom.
From colorful to neutral, made of wood, stone, or brass, we have a wide variety honoring many beloved devotions.
[[2336,2391]]
[[51714,11047]]
Couples can place a font on the wall beside their front doors, or at any entrance they use frequently. Blessing themselves as they come and go provides sacramental protection, and teaching their children to do the same is a means of passing on one of the most powerful rituals and traditions of our Faith.
[[21093, 30469]]
Statues that serve as standing fonts are popular and devotional.
[[48625,48622]]
[[47740,13530]]
Holy Water Bottles
Holy water is an essential for every Catholic home. We carry a beautiful selection of bottles to keep this powerful sacramental on hand at all times. Give an ornate and beautiful bottle they can keep on a prayer table, in a common space, or on their nightstand or dresser.
[[55466,54107]]
While plastic holy water bottles are portable and convenient, a wide variety of bottles allow Catholics elegant storage for the holy water they use at home. Some bottles can be personalized for a special touch.
[[47570,5578]]
Truly Personal Gift Cards
Gift cards and other digital means of contributing to honeymoon funds and more costly items are now quite popular. The wonderful advantage of a gift card is that it allows a newlywed couple to choose a gift based on their style, needs, desires, or favorite devotions.
[[46754]]
Don't shy away from this option, which the bride and groom will truly appreciate. There is no gift more personal than a gift of faith for a couple seeking to live a Christ-centered marriage.
Gifts of Faith for Faithful Couples
Faithful wedding gifts often become treasured heirlooms passed down through the generations. Sacramentals blessed by a priest confer graces throughout the life of a marriage and beyond, as they are passed to children, grandchildren, or beloved relatives and friends.
[[15227,27302]]
These lasting gifts inspire, strengthen, and remind a couple of how they aspire to live the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. They elevate the everyday, allowing us to lift our eyes to heaven in the midst of our busy lives. They beautify our homes, proclaim what we believe, and bring graces to our families.
Pair a distinctively Catholic gift with a gift on a couple's wedding registry or give it alone. When you give a faithful wedding gift, you reveal your desire for God's blessing on a marriage. Above all else, you affirm your commitment to support the happy couple with your prayers. There can be no greater treasure in married life than the prayers of those you cherish.
