Custom Packing and Shipping for Wedding Gifts

For military couples, oftentimes weddings come up quickly before the person in the military gets orders to be shipped overseas. For these weddings, the couple doesn't always get the wedding they envisioned. They can't put on the wedding and reception in that short amount of time, and can't get all their guests their in time. So they might end up with a number of people that want to send them presents, perhaps to their new home overseas. If this is the case, friends and family of the couple need custom packing and shipping to outfit the happy couple with supplies for their new life together. Here are some things newlyweds might want shipped to them.

• Wine glasses: Every new couple needs a set of wine glasses to be able to enjoy a glass of wine after work, or to entertain a few friends. Wine glasses are a great gift because they get a lot of use and they aren't too expensive. For shipping glass items like wine glasses, a good shipping job requires double bubble wrapping. Then they are put inside a box. That box is put inside another box, and the space between the two boxes if filled with two to three inches of packing peanuts.
• China: China is another foundational gift for a new couple. It is a gift they can use for their whole lives. Like wine glasses, china needs to be packaged and shipped with a lot of care.  
• Art: Every couple needs art for the walls of their new home. Art can be shipped in custom crates so that it isn't damaged.
