Revealed: Strange Wedding and Engagement Superstitions

A Knife in the Back

If you are going to be a guest at a wedding, do not make a gift to the bride and groom as a set of knives! According to folklore, a knife represents a broken relationship making it bad luck to give as a wedding gift! Some cultures say that it is bad luck to give a gift of a knife as the person who gives it to you will later betray you!

While you could just leave knives off of your wedding registry altogether, they are a rather necessary household item. You can instead opt for giving a penny to anyone who gives you a knife. That way, you technically purchased it from them, warding off any bad luck associated with giving a knife as a gift.
