Weddings have changed a lot since our parents tied the knot. In the age of the "millennial marriage," many couples are already living together when they say "I do." Most are also getting married in their 30s or 40s. Both of these scenarios make it a little more, um, interesting when you're trying to find the best wedding gift for the happy couple because they likely have all the traditional "starter" items they need, or they put them on their registry and got them during the wedding shower.

That's why we turned to top wedding experts and planners to help you figure out some truly unique wedding gift ideas, no matter who you're shopping for. We have to note that money is the best gift to bring to an actual wedding, but if you want to add a little something else to the card, or you're shopping for a pre-wedding gift because they don't have a registry, any of these ideas will do.

And when in doubt, always go personalized and functional. "We find couples using this opportunity to build a personal arsenal for hosting and entertaining their friends and family in their unique, stylish way," says event and wedding planner Augusta Cole. Wedding planner Michelle Norwood, agrees. "I've noticed a rising trend in personalized and one-of-a-kind items, or experiences that reflect the couple's unique relationship, tastes and interests," she says.

Because many of these items are customizable, we'd recommend ordering early to make sure they arrive on time. If you do get caught shopping last-minute, we have some gifts on Amazon that'll ship quickly with a Prime account.
