"I am getting married in 5 days! The past 5 months of preparation has been a roller coaster ride. Close family relatives and old friends went out of their way to help me out and now I have decided to hold a thank-you and give them bridal party gifts - something really special."
If you're like Marie, who has a mind full of things to think about, but would like to offer thoughtful bridal party gifts, we'll make things easier for you.
Here are some unique (and affordable) bridal party gift ideas to give for a specific member of your bridal party:
1. His or Her Parents
You are thinking about giving a present to your future mom and dad. The best bridal party gifts for the in-laws would be something they are fond of; an item that you could add to their collection. Ask your future spouse about what they love and you'll get a hint of what to buy for them.
In Marie's case, she bought her in-laws something engraved. For her father in law, it was an Engraved Stainless Steel Army Knife and for her mother in-law, an Engraved Glass Vase.
2. Your Parents
It would be much better to give your parents bridal party gifts that are funny - or a family joke. It does not mean that the gift must be hilarious. It can be something your whole family can relate to and laugh about.
For Marie's family, it was a pair of Personalized Flip Flops. Some families do not like wearing slippers at home and this can be a source of something to giggle on. You can embroider funny quotes like: "Lorna's slave" for your dad and "Mike's nanny" for your mom.
3. Your Flower Girl or Ring Bearer
Little girls and little boys have the tendency to lose a gift.
A very nice idea for kids as bridal party gifts would be a Personalized Candy Jar or Personalized Candy Barrel. It could be chocolate or jelly beans inside with different colors or you could also make it all pink or lilac for the girls and blue for the boys. Knowing their favorite color would be helpful as you can choose that as well.
They could munch on it and keep the jar or barrel as a container for their smaller toys afterward.
4. Your Bridesmaids
As the saying goes, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend." In this case, Marie can't afford a diamond but Swarovski would be a worthy substitute. Swarovski Crystal Bracelet with Monogram Charm is a best seller for bridesmaid gifts because most "girls" love jewelry.
The great thing about choosing Swarovski crystals is that you can select whatever color you like to give for a particular girlfriend, cousin or sister.
5. Your Groomsmen or Best Man
Guys are not hard to please. Engraved Cuff Links for the young professionals would be a very appropriate gift. You could also give them Personalized Pilsner Glasses, Personalized Wine Glasses or Personalized Wine Gift Set. These are wonderful bridal party gifts sets.
6. Your Maid or Matron of Honor
She could be your best friend or your sister and it would not be that difficult to find elegant bridesmaid gifts for your constant companion.
Marie chose her twin to be matron of honor and gave her an Engraved Jewelry Box with her name on top. Inside could be something very personal for the both of you -old letters. Touch her heart since she is the second busiest person after you.
You could also make matching Personalized Weekend Tote Bags or Cosmetics Bags. Personalized Silk Jewelry Pouches are also very chic especially if she is a jewelry fanatic. You can also insert an Engraved Rhinestone Toggle Bracelet in that pouch for an added touch.
It's the thought that counts. You don't have to buy them designer bridal party gifts just to say thank you for their support.
