Prince William and Kate Middleton have opted not to accept the traditional gifts for their wedding. Instead they have asked guests and well-wishers to make anonymous charitable donations.
Others feel that perhaps it’s just best to accept the gifts with the goodwill that they were intended. Hoping beyond hope that Great Aunt Maud does not drag some atrocious figurine out of her bottom drawer. Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer received a £1 million gem-encrusted model of an arab boat – how on earth would that sit in one’s drawing room without looking slightly out of place next to the aspidistra? The Queen and Prince Philip received a racehorse from the Aga Khan. Surely you would have to decline such a gesture? It’d scare the living daylights out of next door’s cat when it pops over the fence to foul up your flowerbed!
These days, many couples have already set up home. Those who are living together have already all the trappings of domestic bliss. Others who are have their own places before they get married will already have a toaster and a kettle ( each ) – who needs to add to the collection ?
If, there is no room on your mantlepiece either, then there is an alternative …
An increasing number of couples choose not to have a wedding list, but welcome gifts or financial support toward the costs of their wedding. Gift vouchers can be a great way for parents of the bride and groom, family, friends and work colleagues to contribute toward the cost of photography of your wedding day, or wedding album.
Gift vouchers are available to purchase from Cai Graham Photography in denominations of £25 or more and can be posted as you require.
If you would like to place an order, please contact us including your name, name of the recipient and the value of vouchers you require.
For further information, to make an appointment for your photography consultation or to check on current availability, please feel free to contact Cai Graham Photography using the Get in touch page.

Vouchers are a great idea Cai – we’ve been doing them for years and can help greatly when the bride and groom don’t want another toaster (or more often feel awkward about asking for cash which is what they are often handing out in bucket loads to the various wedding service providers). There are many ways of reducing the cost of weddings for the clients and gift vouchers are a simple and effective one.
