Yes just like other gifts we give in wedding. We can give bitcoin in a wedding just like we gift a picture to a friend they become very happy to see that why because he/she is photographer. In the case of friends who are known to bitcoin we can gift bitcoin without any hesitation.
Yes, Why not? However, you have to be sure that the bride and groom are Bitcoiners and they have interested in Bitcoin. It will become a special gift because it is different than the others people's gift. For sure they will enjoy it.

No, knowing the bitcoin potencial i wouldnt give it as a wedding gift, unless the person is a bitcoin lover and supporter, at those situation i would give because the person does know what it does means and worth. Bitcoin can be used for anything, but the big fact is due to its big potencial send 0,1btc today, worthing 400 dollars, can be worthing tomorrow 1000 dollars, soo i would avoid send bitcoin and i would present with fiat without regrets.

I think I'll hang onto my BTC. Still this could be a wedding present that really pays off in the long term Smiley

Some tech-savvy wedding-goers are gifting the digital currency to new couples. Honeyfund, a honeymoon registry that allows guests to give cash rather than gifts, has seen more than a dozen customers donate in bitcoin, said chief executive officer and co-founder Sara Margulis. In recent years, more than a dozen customers have chosen to route donations to the site from bitcoin wallets. Zola, a wedding registry website, has had just two cash funds created for bitcoins since 2013, a spokeswoman said. "I would expect it to pop more as millennials come into the wedding age,” Honeyfund’s Margulis said. “It’s something you will do if your friends and family are already into bitcoin.

Bitcoin as an retirement plan, bitcoin to secure the future of your kids, and now bitcoin as a wedding gift. Whether or not bitcoin replaces cash in future, it looks like the trend of gifting bitcoin instead of cash at weddings is definitely going to catch up and more wedding registeries would be adding bitcoin as a gifting option.

Quote
Avoid using a wedding gift "as an opportunity to proselytize a technology you personally believe in, but the recipient could not care less about."

People who are not into bitcoin might not appreciate getting a volatile currency as a gift, and might never use it, thus adding it to the list of lost coins, but I think people who are already using bitcoin or would most probably use it in future then bitcoin instead of cash is the apt wedding gift for them.

I don't think so, maybe I can use my bitcoin to buy a wedding gift, but not give bitcoin as a wedding gift. I usually use bitcoin whenever I need to buy something. However, as much as possible I don't use or spend bitcoin. So, if ever I'm getting married or when someone is getting married, I would still give them something out of my bitcoin, not my bitcoin.

It's a good idea not only as a wedding gift but also a good as part of a wedding souvenir. Maybe give out a paper wallet with small amounts to introduce Bitcoin to those who attended the wedding. It's unique and its a good way to promote Bitcoin awareness in an event where you don't expect this kind of giveaways will be handed out.

Yes! You are absolutely right. Bitcoin as a gift is a good idea. I'll take a note. And the question that accepting a gift in bitcoins can not use it, I do not think it is very significant. After all, even a child can understand the use of bitcoins. Wink

It doesn't give bitcoin for the wedding gift some people he doesn't know the bitcoin how to use. Cash and bitcoin same, so you will give the cash it you best. But he knows the bitcoin you will give it. It's a better way for the wedding gift. Bitcoin is the most of the people he doesn't know that the reason for bitcoin not give the gift. If give get before you teach to how to handle the bitcoin and how to sell and buy it you important for the process.

I definitely would give Bitcoin as a wedding gift. As a matter of fact I'm going to a wedding this winter and that's what I'll be giving the bride and groom as I know it'll be worth something when they have kids.

Yes I will give bitcoin as a wedding gift if the bride has a bitcoin wallet. But in my country very rarely bride who received bitcoin, the average citizen of my country does not have a bitcoin wallet.

I had never thought about it before reading this thread, and now if I go to any wedding my gift will be Bitcoin.

this is a very interesting idea because then we can spread about using bitcoin. will be more bitcoin users and it is very good for bitcoin development. those who are not familiar with bitcoin will certainly get a bit of pressure to get to know bitcoin. curiosity would be the main reason for those new to bitcoin. when i know bitcoin i think they will start routine and find out how to get bitcoin.

that is really good to give bitcoin to newlywed couple and especially that they are not familiar with bitcoin because they will surely feel awe when they know how much they have just received from you and when we keep on doing these, it will also slowly introduce bitcoin to others.

This is a good idea especially that it's unique. Surely awe-inspiring and joyful, they will feel amazed when this happens. So when I get married this is what I do, of course I need to know bitcoin so I can not tell her what I gave her

Not really, as not all people grasp the concept of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, so to a regular joe it would either appear as a weird gift from that distant cousin or a form of disrespect, really. You can explain to them that it's not worthless, but even the current generations that were raised in the dawn of the internet would not really get the idea unless they were into the topic beforehand. Unless of course the gift would be regular money that I withdrawed with bitcoin.

I would give some bitcoin as a wedding gift only if the groom knows about it and is familiar with its usage. I would create a new paper wallets, print it out and then send some BTC there. I'm still not sure how much of it should I give. Bitcoin will be better than cutlery or some useless things to a new house. I would like to get bitcoin as a wedding gift.

I'll definitely give bitcoins to my tech-savvy friends if they get married. Bitcoins will really help them get on their feet and start investing on digital currencies and other digital investments available.
Yeah they will be able to have the good life because the price of the bitcoin is now very high more people are investing in the bitcoin and they will be able to enjoy the starting days of the life. The importance of the bitcoin must be known by them. The money is the need of the day so try to have bitcoin so that you will be able to gift the bitcoin to your friend.
