There are so many people to thank for all their help on your special day that it can be a struggle to find the perfect gifts for everyone! Wedding gifts can easily turn into a nightmare, especially when there are so many different options, thanks largely to the rapidly expanding online marketplace.
The best way to go about buying gifts for the wedding party is to find a common theme and choose variations for each individual member. You could base your wedding gifts around the actual theme of your wedding (for example for a summer themed wedding, you could get flip-flops in different colours) or even around a central colour scheme.
You must remember to get everyone a gift; nothing is worse than accidentally forgetting someone! Your best man, bridesmaids, parents of the bride and groom, flower girl, pageboy and even ushers should be honoured if possible, for their contributions to your ceremony.
There are gifts tailored specifically to each role, so you shouldn’t have too much difficulty in finding the ideal present for everyone. For the best man, you should think about the traditional wedding gifts of wine sets or hip flasks (similar could also be fab for ushers) as these are sure to go down a treat.
For your bridesmaids and mothers of the bride and groom, jewellery is the obvious choice, but you could be a little more inventive, and look at options such as key finders and handbag holders; less run-of-the-mill than a dull bracelet or pair of earrings. Compact mirrors decorated in stylish ways are also a big hit with women of all ages.
Wedding gifts for the fathers of the bride and groom can be tricky, but some ideas to get you started are cuff links, tool sets and cigar holders. For the younger ones, toys such as teddy bears often make great thank-yous and are certain to be appreciated! Photo frames can also be fantastic ideas for everyone.
Fun wedding gifts are becoming more and more popular in recent years, and can be a brilliant way of keeping your event feeling light-hearted and relaxed. These individual presents are sure to keep your wedding a treasured memory for years to come. For a more traditional style of wedding, you could find some specially engraved paperweights or other trinkets that will serve as beautiful mementos of the celebration. Presents should always be carefully chosen to suit occasion, gender and age of the receiver.
The presentation of the wedding gifts should also be considered, as the wrapping paper should ideally match the overall theme of the wedding, or at least have a complementary colour scheme. Anything extra, like a ribbon or a bow, will make your wedding gifts look and feel more expensive. For weddings on a budget, it is better to limit the amount of gifts that you give, rather than presenting everyone with something low quality and tacky.
A few nice wedding gifts is much better than lots of cheap ones! If you use these simple tips for guidance, coupled with an understanding of the likes and dislikes of each member of the wedding party, you are sure to find the prefect gifts for everyone to express your gratitude for all their help in planning and executing your most important celebration.
