My husband often calls me a big kid and thanks to the God above, he is too! I prayed countless times for a family-oriented man; one that would integrate himself well within my close family nook and that would already have a great relationship with his family.
Early in our courtship we spent time recollected the activities that we would do to spend time with our families. There was a common denominator, board games! We belly laughed at the stories we shared with each other, recalling the times when we had battled it out with our siblings and passionately expressed our victorious warcries. Board games were the essential keys to unlocking the most fun on the gloomiest of days or in the midst of the most tense moments.
Board games are the essential gifts you probably didn’t think to put on your wedding registry and here’s why you should do so right now!
Board games are forever: Board games will be the classic way you and your spouse bond when it’s raining and your stuck in the house or when you both are too tired to go out but too awake to sit around and do nothing. If you treat them right, these very games will be the ones you pull out to spend time with the children you have in the future.
Hello, Game Nights! My husband and I have purchased board games for other couples, giving them no excuse not to have a game night in which they invite us over for pizza and some fun. They never expect it, but they love it and it gives them a way to connect with other young couples to strengthen their own circle of support. We love to gift the Game of Life and write a cute little matching poem in the card.
They’re pricey! Believe it or not, board games have gotten more expensive over time. Perhaps that’s because less people are playing them, which makes you more unique if you have them. Why not ask for board games when you can get them for free as a gift!
Bond, a Marriage Bond: See what I did there? No, okay, we’ll move on. There’s nothing like playing a board game and watching how your spouse or your future spouse reacts to the trials of the game. In fact, playing a good old fashion game prior to marriage will help you see if your future spouse has a temper. My husband is such a sore loser. He will just stop playing if he thinks I’m about to win. It’s hilarious to me! Visit my insta page to check out his responses!
They never go out of style! You can only have so many wall paintings, picture frames, plates and bowls but a board game never fails to please. You may be surrounded by lovely features hanging on the wall and still be bored when you guys have nothing to do. Choose a gift that will keep bringing laughter and excitement into the home for years to come!
You won’t go wrong with scanning or clicking to add a game to your wedding registry. Plus, you both will have a blast in the toy section. It’s also the perfect time to reminisce about all of the toys you loved as a child and share those stories with each other. Go on, be kids again!
