Bridal Planning Tips
When planning a wedding there is so much to organize that it can be easy to forget something. Your big day is looming and nearly all the wedding arrangements have been made, the church and reception hall are booked, the caterers in place, the flowers have been paid for and delivery dates confirmed. You dress is almost ready, the groom assures you the suits are organized and he has arranged the transport. The hairdresser is booked for the morning of the big day, the bridesmaids have had their last dress fittings, the replies have been received to your invitations and you are still within your budget. Everything has been thought of but one thing, what gifts will you be giving to the bridal party?
Making the right decision can be a difficult task as there is so much to choose from and knowing what items the bridesmaids and best man will appreciate is tricky. By choosing something that can be personalized you instantly have a unique idea and an item that will be treasured forever by the bridal party members as a special reminder of the day.
The many gifts available range from modern items to the more traditional, but when it comes to selecting the right gift for your best man or bridesmaids then you need to choose a gift that will suit them. A gift that has obviously been thought about and chosen specifically for them will show them how highly you regard them.
Gifts are traditionally given by the bride to her bridesmaids and maid of honour to keep as permanent reminders of the wedding. The most appropriate gifts are those that can be used during the wedding itself, as well as being functional in years to come. If the bridesmaid gifts are to be on display during the wedding you need to make sure that they coordinate with the rest of the theme.
One perfect choice is an engraved compact mirror or necklace. Trinket boxes engraved with special messages or a photograph are also great ideas for bridesmaid gifts. Engraved photo frames, whilst not particularly useful for the wedding itself, are a gift that can be used for many years.
Traditionally the ushers and best man gifts would be given by the groom, however generally the actual purchase of the gift is left in the hands of the bride-to-be, so if you find yourself with this task there are some stylish options for the male members of the bridal party too. Gifts for the best man can be anything from cufflinks and pocket watches to silver frames and tankards. All these items can be engraved with a thoughtful message or even a photograph.
Practical items are of course very useful, cufflinks can be worn again and again and come in a great range of styles and materials with contemporary and novelty options to choose from. Silver engraved cufflinks uniquely for the best man make a great gift idea.
Tankards are another common alternative for best man gifts and a traditional choice. Pocket watches generally come with a warranty, both can be engraved with a personal message or photograph to make it that much more memorable.
The above are just a few suggestions for bridesmaid and best man gifts. To make your day even more memorable to the people in your bridal party engraving with a special message or the date, even a photograph of the happy couple, will add a unique touch. If you are the one having to shop for these items then research online where you will find a large range of choices.
Before buying any gifts make sure that any warranties, if applicable, are supplied and presentation boxes are included where possible. You will also find that many companies will include the cost of any engraving in the purchase price and online businesses will even deliver right to your door. These extras can take some of the stress away from your wedding arrangements and are the perfect solution when sourcing your bridal party gifts.
