Unique and Memorable Bridesmaid Gifts

Monday, December 28th, 2009
As a thank you to your wedding party, it is nice to pick out some great gifts that you can wrap up before the big day. After all, these people may have taken days off work, purchased their clothing, and often made other time and financial contributions so that you would be happy. Typically, your groom chooses the gifts for the groomsmen and best man, while you are responsible for picking out gifts for the bridesmaids or matron of honor. Make an effort to not just choose a gift card or other thoughtless gift. Here are some ideas for unique and memorable bridesmaid gifts that show your bridesmaids how much you really care:

A Tote Bag Full of Goodies

Personalized tote bags are a great way to create a “gift basket” for your bridesmaids. Choose a different color for each bridesmaid according to her personal tastes. In fact, you do not even have to choose the same totes – you can choose different styles for each bridesmaid. Then, fill the tote bags with smaller items that your bridesmaids can enjoy, like cosmetics, keepsakes, and so forth. You can give them all the same items or vary it according to their tastes, but make sure to spend about the same amount of money on each person so it does not look like you are favoring certain girls over the others.

Wedding Party T-Shirts

On the day of your wedding, will you be wearing bridal clothing that lets the world know it’s your big day? Consider picking up some t-shirts or other clothing items for your bridesmaids as well. There are fun T-shirts that say things like “maid of honor,” as well as clothing that simple says “wedding party” and has your names and dates on it. Avoid anything that the bridal party may not wear, such as shirts with your picture on it, and do not make it required that they get dressed up – but give them that option as a gift!

Photo Albums

Your bridesmaids may love having memories of the big day. A picture frame is nice, but for a special gift, choose a picture album instead. Include your announcement photograph and when your prints come in; provide a small set for each bridesmaid as a gift, along with information in case they want to order more from the photographer. You can also include copies of pictures from the bridal shower, bachelorette party, and other events you did together to get ready for the wedding. Some brides even like to include pictures that show how you became friends, even before the wedding.

Jewelry

As a bride, you might want to decide what jewelry your bridesmaids wear on their wedding day. There are renting options, but instead, why not give each bridesmaid a jewelry set as a wedding gift? You can find very affordable options that should all match. When choosing a jewelry gift, try to go for a classic style that your friends should be able to wear long after your first anniversary. Do not forget to find out about metal allergies, especially if you are going to give them earrings to wear. Some girls cannot wear certain types of jewelry.

Spa Gift Cards

Gift cards are often not appropriate, but at the end of the day, it is important that you help your wedding party feel relaxed and refreshed. Being in a wedding is hard work, so while you are away enjoying your honeymoon, set up a day at the spa for your bridesmaids. Treat them all to facials, manicures and pedicures, massages, and other spa services. It is the least you can do for them. If you have bridesmaids flying in from out of town, you do not have to plan a day at the same spa for them all to go together. Instead, let them choose their own days at a spa near their home. Along these same lines, you can instead treat them to a fancy restaurant, a concert, or another event if you do not think they are going to enjoy the spa.

Another gift option you have is to wait until you get back from the honeymoon and plan time together. If you are planning a very low budget wedding, you might not have a lot of money to spend otherwise. Spread out your gifts so you can easily plan for them much better by giving each bridesmaid a card requesting a dinner date in the future months. That way, you can thank for their hard work, while staying within your budget. Do not go the easy way out and choose a generic gift. Take the time and find something that shows how much you care. These gifts should be appreciated by your bridesmaids not matter how much you spend.

Wedding Gift Mistakes of Global Proportions

Friday, November 27th, 2009

There can be little doubt that the wrong wedding gift cannot only make you look bad, but potentially even ruin the mood. The job of giving a wedding gift is made even trickier by the fact that there is no one universal standard. A gift, which may be loved in one country or culture, may seem very inappropriate in another. In fact, what may seem like the simple act of giving a clock or an umbrella, for example, may be offensive for some. Place such cultural sensitivities at the top of your list when you are selecting wedding gifts for the lucky couple.

Etiquette for Wedding and Bridesmaid Gifts

1. In Malaysia it’s a bad idea to give a pre-engagement gift. As it turns out a pre-engagement gift is seen as something of a bribe. Oops.

2. When looking for a gift for a friend that is from India, you might want to skip anything made out of leather. In India, the cow is seen as a sacred animal, and this means that leather or a beef product is likely to create a very awkward moment or two.

Unique Bridesmaid Gifts for a Traditional Wedding Celebration

Saturday, October 31st, 2009
It is customary for brides and grooms to provide their bridesmaids and groomsmen with gifts. Gifts bestowed upon the wedding party are simply to thank your special friends (and sometimes relatives) for participating in your special day. While it is customary, it is not required, though it is usually greatly appreciated. Gifts for your bridesmaids can be as extravagant as you can afford or as simple as you like. There are no concrete rules as to what is appropriate and what is not.

The gifts you give your bridesmaids may depend on your budget, how traditional your wedding is, and on your personality. Whichever route you take, it is a good idea to go with unique gifts. Traditional bridesmaid gifts include jewelry, stationery, and photo albums. Here is a unique spin on these typical gifts, and some other good ideas, to make you stand out as the unique and exciting bride!

Jewelry

Jewelry may be the most traditional bridesmaid gift there is. Many brides give their bridesmaids a pair of earrings or necklace that would complement their bridesmaid dresses for the ceremony. While jewelry is an excellent idea, why not break the mold and give your bridesmaids handmade jewelry that is made by you.

If you have absolutely no idea how to make jewelry, that is fine. Seek out a local jeweler and design the jewelry specifically for your bridesmaids. Whether you actually fashion the jewelry with your own two hands or design it with a jeweler, the sentiment is the same. Your bridesmaids should love it.

Stationery

Many brides opt to give their bridesmaids stationery. While it probably should be the other way around, especially since the bride may need to write thank-you note upon thank-you note after the wedding, stationery is a classic bridesmaid gift. Instead of buying a pre-packaged set of note cards and envelopes, consider making your own for your bridesmaids. Although good quality stationery is an excellent gift, it will mean more to your girls if you give them handmade stationery.

Making your own stationery is not as difficult as you may think. Simply go to your favorite paper retailer and pick out some good quality note cards and separate sheets. A good paper store should have a wide variety of cardstocks, sizes, and paper types available. Buy some stamps while you are there and stamp each note card or sheet to make a set. As you do this, keep in mind the personal tastes of each of your bridesmaids so that you can tailor each set to each girl’s style.

Photo Albums

Bridesmaids often receive beautiful photo albums from the bride. In most cases, these photo albums are empty and must be filled. Though of good quality, they are often from the store, which any bride can obtain. To put a unique spin on the classic photo album, think about simply filling it before you give it to your bridesmaid. You could print out copies of photographs of specials days that the two of you shared (do this for each bridesmaid so that each album is unique) and perhaps with some beautiful paper and a nice pen, place a caption on each page that illustrates the memory.

With a photo album, you could wait until your wedding pictures are printed as well. Order a few extra copies of certain shots to include within your bridesmaids’ photo albums. There is no rule that you must give your bridesmaids their gifts before the wedding.

The Gift You All Can Share

A unique way to thank your bridesmaids, and have fun with them, is to give a gift that you all can share. Sure, your bridesmaids are treating you to the bachelorette party, bridal shower, and many other treats along the way to your big day, but you may want to do the same for them. A very unique gift for your bridesmaids would be to purchase tickets to a concert, event, or show that you would all like to attend. That way, you can all enjoy the show and you can give them a unique gift.

Another unique bridesmaid gift that you all can share is a day at the spa. If you choose to do this, it might be well worth the effort to schedule this event close to the big day. That way, all the girls can get together, have a “girls’ day out” at the spa, primp, relax, and get ready for the biggest day of your life, together. This is a really fun way to spend a day with your closest friends.

Just remember, as long as you put some heart and soul into choosing gifts for your bridesmaids, you really cannot go wrong. If you put that extra thought and effort into it, you are likely to come up with a unique bridesmaid gift even for your most traditional wedding celebration.

Unusual Bridesmaids Gifts To Make Your Bridesmaids Feel Special

Saturday, October 31st, 2009
A wedding day is a very special, in fact unique, day for the bride and groom, and for close family and friends, especially those who play a part in the ceremony, such as the bridesmaids. In most cases, the bridesmaids do get a fair amount of attention as part of the supporting cast, and it is usual for bridesmaids gifts to be given as a memento of the occasion.

As bride and groom, though, you may want to say a big thank you to the bridesmaids and do something a bit special for them. So, you may be considering an unusual bridesmaids’ gift to show them their role was more important to you than they may have thought; and, that they are not and will not be forgotten.

Wanting to give an unusual bridesmaid gift is one thing, but finding one is a different matter altogether. However, maybe “finding” is not the right way to go about it. You want to thank the bridesmaids for their support on your special wedding day, so why not thank them by arranging something special for them, in which they, not you, are the focus of attention?

What you do will, of course, depend on budget, and what you think the bridesmaids will all appreciate. Here are just a few ideas for unusual bridesmaids’ gifts that you could arrange.

Bridesmaids’ Bash

On the wedding day itself, you probably had a reception and maybe a disco or some form of entertainment for the wedding guests. Again, the stars of the show were you, the bride and groom. One sure way to show appreciation is for you to stand aside and bring the bridesmaids to the fore, to feel very special and appreciated.

One thing you could do is to arrange a Bridesmaids Bash, a party arranged just for them. If you are going away for a honeymoon, would it not be nice to get back home, and a few days latter have a special party organised for the bridesmaids Of course, you can give them a small memento also, but as the main, and unusual, bridesmaids gift, a fun bash in which they are the focus, could go down really well.

Bridesmaids’ Beauty Binge

There is no doubt that almost every bride and groom goes to great lengths to look their best on the wedding day; the same is true of the bridesmaids. There is also no doubting that girls and young women across the bridesmaid age group do feel special when they are having a lot of attention being paid to their health and beauty.

For an unusual bridesmaids’ gift, how about negotiating with a local parlour for a group beauty session for all the bridesmaids? It would be fun for them to go together a couple of weeks after the wedding, and have a makeover, pedicure, manicure, new hairdo, massage; whatever you can afford to make a fuss of them for an hour or two, or three.

Bridesmaids’ Bloat Out

Another bridesmaid gift idea that is a bit unusual is, rather than the full Bridesmaids’ Bash, take them all out for a special meal a week or two after the wedding. This idea is not for those on a diet, but as they are all young and probably in good shape, some sort of feast, a Bridesmaids’ Bloat Out, could be a good idea. It is best to sound them out in advance, so you can choose a venue they will all be delighted with, whatever their age.

To make it special, you could arrange for a local florist, or the establishment manager, to deliver flowers, or some other gift, to the table. A little bit of imagination could make this a fun occasion to all and give the bridesmaids the special attention they deserve.
