No. it will be too expensive present

Uh, can't you give them a fraction of a coin?  0.001 coin or something?  I really don't understand this mentality.  It's not like buying something from a store is free, either.

Winding down.
I would definitely give bitcoin as a wedding gift because it is good as cash and a very practical gift, especially for anyone starting with their new lives together, bitcoin will be put into good use as they may either save it for the future, the rainy days, or use it to buy things they need.
Same for me.I would be very willing to give a single bitcoin as a wedding gift once i have earned lot of bitcoins for myself.It will be a big help for sure for the new starters.It can give them an assurance to open a small business to raise their new family.And if ever they want also to learn how to gain bitcoin,then i'm also very willing to teach them.That would be the best gift i can ever give i guess.

I mean if you need to buy someone a gift, why buy some garbage from Amazon or Walmart when you can buy them a fraction of a bitcoin for the same price and support the btc community?

No and never. I won't spend my bitcoins for this silly reasons. I will buy a gift using my fiat money and gift the newly married couple but will never gift bitcoin under any circumstances. Because I will be gifting a fortune to them.

Bitcoin has a huge potential and the price can go upto any level in future and I have been saving bitcoin with the same hope. Probably I will be able to make my dreams come true with the help of bitcoin. MY dream is more important that the newly married couple for me.

Why not you can give bitcoin as a wedding gift , in the future bitcoin will be a kind of very valuable item.

I would not give bitcoin as a wedding gift. Because I'm not so rich and a little greedy. But in general it is a wonderful gift and no one would have refused it. This gift will cost more and more day by day.

No, I would not, because first I do not like to offer money at wedding, this is not a true gift, and moreover Bitcoin can not be seen, so to eyes of other people you would look like a fool.

I think you're looking at it the wrong way. I myself don't have 1 bitcoin, but would you give it as a wedding gift if you did, this is more of a theory question. Why do you think so? Maybe your gift, that you would give them, is not as good as you thought since they can already have that or have no room to use it,etc... I've seen a lot of people at weddings giving them envelopes with money so that they can use it for what they actually need it for, so that's why I believe that bitcoin would actually be a pretty nice gift.

Ofcourse yes why not give those guys who willing to learn mroe about bitcoin and asking for your bitcoin to learn everything how if one day that guy could help you too with your piece of bitcoin i wouldn't mind giving because sharing is caring if you love giving to other it will turn back to you with bigger one. It can be called a early gift for the whole year.

No sorry for that but my bitcoin is precious to me.  I will give a good amount of money or maybe getting them a trip for honeymoon.  And when they asked where I got my money there I would say about the bitcoin.  Maybe I could encourage them to try it.  If I would give bitcoin as a gift and they do not know anything about bitcoin, perhaps they will not much appreciate it.

Agree with you bitcoin is very valuable and it is impossible to divide it for wedding gifts, I will also give a gift of paper money for his honeymoon for easy use

It is a good idea but with your gift should come with instruction on how to use bitcoin for those who are not yet introduced to bitcoin. It will go to waste if you give it and they don't know the value of it.
yes it very good advice, but I think you should give bitcoin to those who is expert in it because if you give bitcoin to someone with the little advise then it would still problem for that because you can’t handle bitcoin if you have less knowledge, if you are expert then bitcoin is your way to success, but I told you again you should give bitcoin as a gift of wadding only to expertise.

Offering bitcoin as a wedding gift is a great idea I did not think about. Especially if we could have some "BTC gift card" (like a iTunes gift card) with a link to instructions about "what is it / how to use".
Wedding is some kind of bet onto the future, and what is better than offering another bet onto the future than a BTC gift card ? In my opinion it is way better than a coffee machine, or even cash, as it could grow and gain value over time. If the 2 people finally divorce, then they could share something that is worth more than when they received it (this is my very positive opinion Cheesy)...
I must admit, I'm not really into marrying, and I think bitcoin will continue to gain value Grin

Hell yeah, I read story of a guy who gave his uncle's son Bitcoins after one year those Bitcoins were worth a lot.

I do not remember properly so sorry for that.

That's like giving some a plant that will produce money in a a few years, like a money tree. Cheesy But it can be done sure, why not, you just need a good way to present it, not to look like a douche when everyone else is bringing bigger stuff and you with an envelope.

Yes because the value of bitcoins will increase and with this is possible to do very things you can to give $1000 in bitcoins and with time this can to be $4000.

Now this looks little weird, but when days pass people starts gifting bitcoin when the popularity increases, one of my friend already has got bitcoin as a gift during the days of Christmas. But with that both were aware of the digital currency and it's value, but the same makes people think what's this gift with the unknown person. So same as we providing giftcard in future people use bitcoin for gifting purpose.
I will not even consider that at all, with it's value rising on a daily basis, and going towards the $5000 mark, I will rather give physical cash rather than Bitcoins, I will rather buy the bitcoins and save it for myself and see the profits soar.They can buy their own bitcoins with the money  gave them as a gift. Its high time we stop using bitcoins for things that fiat can do.

Speaking logically, it would make a fine wedding gift perhaps even better than the regular ones, considering bitcoins is worth money and hence giving it directly is a nice way of giving money, something new weds probably in the need for more than other gifts.
