Choosing Gifts for Your Wedding Attendants

I am sure that you chose each person that will be a part of your wedding because that person is special to you in some way. You should choose the gifts for your wedding attendants with the same thoughtful approach that you used for selecting them as an attendant.

Sure, it would be really easy to go online or into a local retailer and order each of them an engraved silver bookmark. But really, how personal is that. While some of the people in your wedding party may be avid readers and love to have that bookmark, there are others that would have not use whatsoever for a silver bookmark or any bookmark for that matter.

While the traditional idea of giving each person the same gift is an easy one, it is not really the best idea. If you really must give the same gift to each person, make it something such as a necklace, bracelet or earrings that they will all wear for the wedding.

If instead you have decided to make your bridesmaids gifts more personal, there are many creative ways to do so. One idea that is really easy, but can still be personal is to present them with gift certificates with a personal note from you tucked inside. In the note you can let each person know how much they mean to you and that you are glad that they are going to be a part of your special day.

In fact, a personal note enclosed with whatever gift you decide to give your attendants is a wonderful idea. People agree to be in your wedding because they care about you, but it is costly, so letting them know you love and appreciate them is a very thoughtful thing to do.

Set a price range and them spend some time thinking about each persons personality and chose a special gift for each one. When you present the gifts you might want to share with each one why you chose the gift.

Whether you decide to give each the same gift or not, make the presentation special. Schedule a time that you and your attendants can have lunch or dinner together and present their gifts to them after the meal. A fun idea that will make the time together even more special is to share a favorite memory you have of each of your attendants. A trip down memory lane will usually provide lots of laughs, a few tears and make for a perfect ending to a nice day with some very special people.
