Bridal Party Gifts

It is always nice to recognize and acknowledge the members of the bridal party:  the maid of honor, best man, bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, and ring bearers, for their support during a wedding (and those months, weeks, and days leading up to it).  A thoughtful gesture is to thank them during the thank you speech during the wedding reception, or to highlight them during the reception program by providing a little insight into who they are and why they were chosen.  However, the most common way of thanking them is by sharing a token of gratitude, also known as bridal party gifts.

A quick search on-line will reveal a number of clever and special ideas for gifts.  In addition to the more conventional gifts such as jewelry for the ladies and flasks for the guys, we have seen a number of original bridal party gifts, such as a baseball bat to each groomsman, remote control race cars to be raced together in lieu of a traditional bachelor party, a bottle of the bridal party members' favorite libation, or even noise canceling headphones.

For a great photo opportunity, give the bridal party members their gifts on the wedding day.  Everyone looks their best, dressed up and often times, with hair and make-up, and the photographer can be there to document it all.  Here are a few photos shot by Dulce from Karen and Jordan's gift-giving sessions on their wedding day.

Happy Planning!
