For me it would depend on whether the couple already knows about bitcoin or not because I won't turn their wedding gift into a lecture about the value of bitcoin.
I agree with your opinion at the moment, wedding a wonderful time for the two couple give a nice gift. hopefully become a family the beautiful one.

Yes because bitcoin rings as well because of the large amount of bitcoin when you cash out on bitcoin you can even buy the ring.

Some tech-savvy wedding-goers are gifting the digital currency to new couples. Honeyfund, a honeymoon registry that allows guests to give cash rather than gifts, has seen more than a dozen customers donate in bitcoin, said chief executive officer and co-founder Sara Margulis. In recent years, more than a dozen customers have chosen to route donations to the site from bitcoin wallets. Zola, a wedding registry website, has had just two cash funds created for bitcoins since 2013, a spokeswoman said. "I would expect it to pop more as millennials come into the wedding age,” Honeyfund’s Margulis said. “It’s something you will do if your friends and family are already into bitcoin.

Bitcoin as an retirement plan, bitcoin to secure the future of your kids, and now bitcoin as a wedding gift. Whether or not bitcoin replaces cash in future, it looks like the trend of gifting bitcoin instead of cash at weddings is definitely going to catch up and more wedding registeries would be adding bitcoin as a gifting option.

Quote
Avoid using a wedding gift "as an opportunity to proselytize a technology you personally believe in, but the recipient could not care less about."

People who are not into bitcoin might not appreciate getting a volatile currency as a gift, and might never use it, thus adding it to the list of lost coins, but I think people who are already using bitcoin or would most probably use it in future then bitcoin instead of cash is the apt wedding gift for them.

Yes, of course. I am willing to give bitcoin as a gift as long as the newly wedded couple are into bitcoin. But if they are not into bitcoin, I need to give them another gift because they might not appreciate the gift that I will give them if they are not into it. When we give gift to someone, we also need to consider their likes and dislikes so what we give will be useful to them.

this is a great idea, when getting married requires only a smartphone and can make a donation to the wedding, but I feel uncomfortable if I have to give my bitcoin, because bitcoin is hard to get. Cry

Yes,I would give bitcoin as a wedding gift.

if the couple isn't into bitcoin, i'm sure the coin will be lost any moment. its best if you just give them the givft that you think they like. maybe a coffee maker. or something that both could enjoy.
a coin is just becoming too huge this time and having a coin is definitely one heck of a privileged for me so never will i give it to someone.

what a nice answer yeah your right,its an awkward thing to lecture them about bitcoin while they are just married and have lots of things to do,although teaching them about bitcoin is an interesting topic,but not ON THEIR WEDDING DAY OR AFTER coz it is a precious moment for them

Bitcoin as a wedding gift is the most practical gift someone could give, the newlyweds can have an investment on their early years as a married couple and they can use it after how many years and bitcoin price would be very high by that time. So yes, I am okay with giving bitcoin as a wedding gift.

This is a good idea especially that it's unique. Surely awe-inspiring and joyful, they will feel amazed when this happens. So when I get married this is what I do, of course I need to know bitcoin so I can not tell her what I gave her
Unique are often given to specials and no doubt that wedding of someone occur once in a life of everyone mostly and if such an expensive and most worthy is given on this special occasion to someone so it will be double wishes consider; one his marriage and the other is continuous business and future asset. Gift should be unique like bitcoin but if affordable.

I think is a good idea, giving a wedding gift using bitcoin, this will benefit the married people, they can sell bitcoin when the price goes up, but it will be very difficult for those who don't know bitcoin and don't have internet network.  Grin

That right, this will make a headache for weddings that do not know about internet or virtual coins Grin
If all their families know about bitcoin it seems like a good idea to be their long-term savings for their children later on Wink

I do not mind giving Bitcoin as a wedding gift, there is one condition though, they should know how to accept and send bicoin.  If they do not know how to do it then it would be a waste of money if I send it to a person that know nothing about it.  Aside from that, bitcoin is not a small amount, it is huge and should be treasured by the one we are sending it as a gift.

I think it depends on which person is going to be married. If that person is not a bitcoin fan or don't have any knowledge about bitcoin i think it's not a good idea but if we want them to know about bitcoin then it's a good idea because you are giving them a slight information about it by giving them bitcoin. They will ask you what you have give them and that's the start they will using it if they think it will help them using it.

yeah, I find it interesting to give newly-wed couples that have just little to no idea at all about bitcoin and give them a foretaste of how it is working and what it could be in the near future. That will be very interesting to them and they may even keep talking about it even during on their honeymoon and they will never forget you and keep thinking of you in their momentous event in their lives.
