There’s no question that couples getting married in the first half of 2020 (or probably any time this year) will have plenty of reasons to remember their ceremony, or lack thereof. Love conquers all though, and these happy couples will learn something even before the wedding that is important to remember: It’s their marriage that counts, not the ceremony or the big day. Still, consider sending something extra special this year, even if you cannot be there to celebrate with them in person. Here are lots of gifts at varied price points from CLT boutiques for the newlyweds, the wedding party, and even the parents.
