Saying ‘I do’ on the day doesn’t mean the memories have to stop there. There are many ways to celebrate your new and ongoing relationship status as a Mrs!

Relationship status t-shirt

So getting your marital name printed onto a t-shirt might be something you want to keep to wearing inside the walls of your own home, but it’s a heartfelt gesture nonetheless. Printing onto an item of clothing is a fun reminder to you and your husband of a very special day and one that won’t be erased, no matter how many times you put it through the wash. They're also a great idea to get printed out for your bridal shower.

Cake topper

Instead of the ever-predictable bride and groom figures atop your wedding cake, why not go for something a little different and use a ‘Mr & Mrs’ cake topper instead? Inexpensive yet elegant at the venue, such cake toppers are easy to find and can be purchased in a range of different colours to tie-in perfectly with your colour scheme. It's also a lot more timeless than the bride and groom figurines - you might even decide to use them on cakes at future anniversary parties to celebrate your relationship.

Christmas ornament

As we’re in the middle of the festive season, what better way to celebrate your relationship status than a personalised ‘Mr & Mrs’ Christmas ornament. Pop-up stalls are readily available around Dublin’s city centre to purchase such gifts and adds a very personal touch to your first Christmas as newlyweds. Alternatively, you can just get a plain silver decoration engraved.

Engraved wedding rings

Ever so slightly more pricey than the rest, but engraving your marital name plus the date of the big day on the inside of your wedding ring is a special keepsake favoured by many. An inscription makes your wedding ring even more special and unique. You can even get your fingerprint engraved onto your wedding ring. Best of all, you’ll never forget an anniversary, which is perfect for the grooms with slightly a lax memory

Dressing gown

A lovely keepsake of the day you become a Mrs and change your relationship status is a personalised dressing gown. It can be used on the morning of the wedding whilst getting preened for the big day or on your honeymoon as you bask in early marital bliss. A cost-friendly relationship keepsake that will keep you warm.
