Five Star Gift Ideas

For your friend who loves researching family history, a meaningful and personal wedding gift idea could be a custom-made family tree. This gift not only celebrates their new journey together as a married couple but also acknowledges their shared love and passion for genealogy.

To begin, you can gather information about their family members and ancestors from both sides by reaching out to family members or by utilizing online ancestry databases. Once you have all the relevant information, create a beautiful and detailed family tree chart. There are various online platforms and genealogy software available that can assist you in designing and customizing the family tree.

Consider making the family tree visually appealing by including photographs of their ancestors, along with their names and birthdates. You can also add significant details such as the places they originated from or any notable achievements or stories associated with particular family members. Include as many generations as possible to reflect the depth of their interest in family history.

To make the gift even more personal and intimate, you could incorporate a framed family photo of the couple along with their immediate family members, symbolizing the blending of their two families. This will not only serve as a wonderful keepsake but also remind them of the love and support they have from both sides.

Another idea is to include a blank section on the family tree for them to continue adding names and details as their own family grows in the future. This will empower them to continue their research together as a couple and create a living testament to their shared heritage.

Additionally, you could consider including a gift card or subscription to a genealogy website or software that will assist them in their ongoing research. This will enable them to explore their family history more extensively and perhaps uncover hidden stories and connections.

Ultimately, gifting your friend with a custom-made family tree not only shows thoughtfulness and consideration but also acknowledges their passion for genealogy. It will serve as a cherished keepsake that will remind them of their wedding day and the love they share as they embark on their own journey together as a family.

Or you can get her/him a star map with the date of the wedding.
