It can be easy for a bride to get caught up in wedding activities, and to allow the focus to remain on herself and her groom. In the middle of all the excitement, remember to thank those that helped make your day special.
Who: Parents of the Bride and Groom
Why: They supported you through the tiring wedding planning process, and have helped you to achieve the wedding of your dreams.
What: Have a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a touching “thank you” card delivered the day after the wedding. You can also give more personal gifts, like a necklace to the mothers and personalized fishing lures to the fathers.
Who: Bridesmaids
Why: These ladies have listened to vent about your wedding planning stress, been there when your fiancé or mother were absolutely disagreeable over wedding details, and have taken time and money to be a part of your special day and support team.
What: Bridesmaid gifts are limitless. You can gift embroidered button-up shirts for your girls to get ready in, jewelry to wear during the ceremony and to last forever, or personalized totes to carry wedding day essentials and reuse beyond the wedding day.
Who: Groomsmen
Why: You’ve trusted these men to make sure your fiancé survives the bachelor party. And, like it or not, these are you soon-to-be husband’s closest friends and support team.
What: Groomsmen gifts also offer a limitless list of options. Personalized items like flasks, fishing and pocket knives, and beer bottle openers are a big hit. You can also give gifts like shaving kits and cufflinks.
Who: Anyone that helped make your dream wedding come true, including shower hosts and your Aunt who sat for hours as you picked out the dress of your dreams
Why: Shower hosts and helpful family members and friends put in an effort to bring you happiness out of the kindness of their hearts.
What: These guests can be as personal as you want them to be. Does your aunt or shower host wear jewelry? Get her a piece of jewelry with a special meaning, like an Alex and Ani charm bracelet.
