But before the celebrations can officially begin, it's time to get the pre-wedding planning done, and that includes finding the perfect gift for the happy couple. If they've opted out of a registry or you'd rather go the custom route, we have you covered: These 12 affordable wedding gifts are thoughtful, stylish, and a great way to help your friends and family kick off their life together.

There comes a time when everyone ditches the IKEA stragglers from their first apartment and graduates to matching glassware—help them along with a set of handblown, tapered glasses. These were crafted in Marrakech using recycled glass, and have natural bubbles and tiny inconsistencies that make each vessel feel totally unique.

Are they headed off to a beachy location for their honeymoon? Gift them a couple of these super luxe towels to bring along. They're made from Turkish long-fiber cotton for a plush feel that only gets softer with each wash—and they pack down tightly to the size of a burrito, so they won't take up valuable suitcase real estate, either.
3) The Sill 20'' Live Monstera Plant

For the couple with a green thumb, this low-maintenance plant is a great buy. It only needs to be watered once every 1-2 weeks, and thrives in bright to medium-indirect light, so it won't dramatically wither and die after a string of rainy days.
4) Parachute Home Linen Waffle Table Runner

If they're the couple that always hosts the dinner parties in your friend group, elevate their tabletop game with a chic linen runner. Parachute's waffle weave textiles are made in Portugal from 100% European flax; which may sound fancy, but the runner can easily be popped into the washing machine after a night of entertaining for easy clean-up.
5) AllModern Marble Non-skid Bookends (Set of 2)

Everyone could use an extra set of towels, and Brooklinen's Turkish cotton waffle weave design is a safe bet (the simple style goes with all types of bathroom decor). They're super absorbent and fast-drying, so mildewy odor build-up will never be an issue.
7) East Fork Pottery Mug (Set of 2)

East Fork's mugs are an Instagram celebrity for a reason: Each vessel is carefully made with stoneware clay and is available in several pretty colors. The mugs can hold a good amount of coffee or tea, and—despite their custom appearance—are even microwave- and dishwasher-safe.

9) Arturo Throw

A movie night must, this cozy throw blanket will look just as good draped over a sofa or armchair in the living room as it would as a bedspread. We love the fringe detailing and two-tone palette that make this a truly timeless textile.
10) Sharecook Matte Silverware Set

12) Stagg Stovetop Pour Over Kettle
For the die-hard coffee (or tea) drinkers, you can't beat Stagg's sleek stainless steel kettle. It has a helpful built-in brew-range thermometer and, when not in use, doubles as stovetop eye candy.
