Redneck Wedding Gifts

1. • A redneck-themed wedding is an entertaining choice for a second wedding.

     A "redneck" theme can be a humorous idea for a casual wedding and provides down-home fun and a lighthearted take on a new life for the bride and groom. Continue the redneck theme in your wedding gift to be part of the special event. Whether the gift has some practical application or is purely for laughs, the happy couple will appreciate you contributing to the redneck memories.

   Redneck Cookbooks

   • Redneck cookbooks are entertaining and practical.

     Redneck cookbooks mix down-home stories, unusual meats and great cooking advice to redneck newlyweds. With selections like "The Redneck Grill Cookbook" by Jeff Foxworthy or "The Redneck Cookbook: 165 Mighty Fine Fixin's and Other Things to Get Down Your Gullet" by Lo'retta Love, you can set the bridal couple up for years of good eatin'. Kick the redneck up a notch by adding a road-kill cookbook specific to the state you live in, like Iowa's Road Kill Cookbook (Roadkill Cookbooks) by Bruce Carlson to keep future guests guessing what's on the grill

     • By After Six: stunning dresses for an informal wedding. 2012 styles!

     Add some nicer, practical cooking items as well, such as a barbecue utensil set or a set of versatile measuring cups.

   Truck Accessories

   • A redneck's truck is a source of pride.

     Consider the maintenance and presentation of the requisite redneck vehicle, the truck, when purchasing your redneck wedding gift. Put together a gift basket that includes mud flaps with Yosemite Sam or a Confederate flag on them, some pine-scented car deodorants, and plenty of chrome and car polish. Add some redneck-themed bumper stickers or chip in with other guests to provide an "off-road" kit installation so that the new couple can start the marriage a few feet higher than everyone else.

   For the Kitchen

   • Mason jars can be bought new or used.

     Help set up the newlywed's home with kitchen supplies fit for a redneck. Wrap up a set of Mason jars for drinking and some vintage brown ceramic jugs to hold flowers or drinks in. Create "sets" of nonmatching dishware for a true redneck table setting or provide heavy-duty plastic plates, cups, forks and spoons so they can entertain safely.
     Add some truly useful items that have a redneck theme, such as barbecue sauces, rubs and relishes. Include a gift certificate for some Omaha Steaks, and your gift is complete.

   Redneck Entertainment

   • A movie night is a great way to relax after a busy wedding weekend.

     Keep the party going by providing some after-wedding entertainment the new couple may appreciate. Put together a gift basket filled with DVD movies like "Deliverance" or a box set of vintage "Dukes of Hazzard" shows. You can also consider the "Smokey and the Bandit" series, "Walking Tall" and "The Cannonball Run." Add some beer, cigarettes and pork rinds to fill the basket.
