Move over, summer weddings! Happy couples seeking an alternative to popular May and June ceremonies are now choosing fall or winter as a time to walk the aisle and pledge their vows.

Although weddings can be a lot of fun, it can be hard to pick the perfect wedding gift — especially if the happy couple doesn't have a registry or you're on a budget.

Without a registry, you also might not know what other guests will be getting, so, to prevent duplicates, it's better to stray a little further away from the typical gifts and choose something unique.

Contrary to popular belief, wedding gifts don't have to be expensive. Many of these options are cost-effective while still being thoughtful.

When we release our 2018 gift guides, we make sure all prices are current. But, prices change frequently (yay, deals!), so there’s a chance the prices are now different than they were the day of publication.
