WEDDING gifts can easily add
thousands to the value of
newlyweds' home contents
overnight, an insurance company
has warned.
Research from Direct Line
shows that newlyweds could add
several thousand pounds to the
value of the contents of their
home once married, with guests
at their wedding spending an
average of �79 on each gift.
As a result, a wedding with
just 50 guests could mean �3,950
worth of gifts, while 150 guests
could give a massive �11,850 in
presents.
Some newlyweds will be even
luckier with their gifts, with
three per cent of guests saying
they will spend a recession-
busting �500 or more on a single
wedding gift.
All of these gifts, plus the
typical �4,000 of items the
newlyweds will have bought in
preparation for the wedding,
mean that there will be a much
higher value to the total contents
of the home once the newlyweds
cross the threshold.
Andrew Lowe, head of home
insurance at Direct Line
insurers, said: "The costs of the
wedding dress, flowers, jewellery
and outfits for the wedding
party can easily run to many
thousands of pounds, so it will
be a shrewd newlywed who
checks their insurance policy to
make sure that all of their
purchases and gifts are
protected in the event of loss,
damage, or theft."
