Sometimes, the only way a man or woman can get through the very emotional wedding process is with the help of family and friends. Some of these special people are also usually members of the wedding party, those wonderful people who agree to wear tight suits and funny dresses you tall them they will "wear again" to stand up and support you in your marriage. They deserve some recognition, which is why we give them wedding party gifts to say "thank you for being part of our special day", and "I could never have done it without you."
What Should I get My Bridal Party?
One of the most traditional bridal gifts for women is jewelry which they can wear on the wedding day. This often includes pearls or personalized jewelry, which make an elegant gift which can be worn for years to come. For men a traditional gift is often an engraved flask, filled with liquid to help soothe the stress of the day. If attendants don't drink or are underage, engraved money clips or cufflinks are also another popular option. Of course, you don't have to stick with the traditional. You can get your attendants different gifts to suit their personalities, or you can make them something if you are of a creative bent. A lot of the old rules have gone out the window. Now the boundaries are only ruled by what you think your attendants would like best.
Tips and Tricks
More so than any other guest at your wedding, you want to be sure your attendants find their gifts useful and memorable, or if not useful then of heirloom quality. Your maid-of-honor may not wear the shawl you made her every day, but you can bet she will treasure it for a lifetime and pass it on to her children. Just put real thought into what you are gifting your attendants and the effort will show.
Weddings can be frightfully stressful times, and your bridal party are the people who help get you through this major life event. Show your gratitude by putting some thought into their wedding party favors, and let your love for them shine through.
