We’re Polish living in Germany and were invited to a wedding in India by a friend of ours. The groom is Indian and the bride is Mexican, to make things more complicated. It’s planned at the end of November. That’s the first time going to India for us, we don’t know much about the culture. We don’t know what we should get them as a gift. What would be a good idea for a gift? What’s traditionally gifted there?

There’s supposed to be another wedding in Mexico next year, to which we’ll also be invited, so in case you have any ideas for that wedding - feel free to chime in already!

Thanks for all the responses!

    I’m not Indian or Mexican, but they’d probably love a polish gift! Make sure it’s the right price point, but a super traditional polish wedding gift, especially if you can write a note explaining it, would probably be a lovely gift. Extra points if it involves some tradition or a marital check in at a year or six months or something.

        I agree about a German or Polish item; such a good chance for a bit of international flair. I don’t know anything about Poland, but I spent time in Germany a long time ago. My mind went to cuckoo clocks for fun, and other fine and classy looking clocks (I brought home a chime clock that I loved). Could be towels embroidered in a traditionally Polish way. Or a set of Polish or German stemware.
