To help to plan and execute your wedding, you need a group of friends and relatives to help you on the way; your best man, bridesmaids, parents of the bride and groom, flower girl, pageboy and ushers. They all put in lots of work to make your day a success, and the best way to thank them for all this effort is to present them with wedding party gifts. This can be a thorny issue for many, as money and time are precious commodities, especially leading up to such a big celebration.
It is important to honour everyone, as nothing is worse than finding you have accidentally left someone out! There are so many options available for gifts tailored for every role, thanks largely to the rapid expansion of the online market-place, that you are sure to find the perfect wedding party gifts for everyone. For the best man you could consider a hip flask or a wine gift set, and for the bridesmaids; handbag holders or key finders. For the mothers of the bride and groom ideal gifts would be compact mirrors or pocket watches. When choosing for the fathers of the bride and groom, think about cuff links or cigar holders. For the flower girl and pageboy, a teddy bear would be a cute idea, and for the ushers, a pair of socks would be a perfect way to express your appreciation.
Novelty wedding party gifts are becoming more and more popular, as weddings become less formal and ceremonies more relaxed. These are a brilliant way of keeping everything light-hearted and their individuality makes them certain to be remembered for years to come. For more traditional weddings, gifts such as engraved plates are always appreciated, and these will be treasured forever. It is important consider the appropriateness of each present, dependant on occasion, age and gender.
For weddings on a budget, there are many cost-effective ways to still provide fabulous wedding party gifts, including the restriction of recipients and giving shared presents (e.g. the parents of the bride could be given one present). It is better to buy fewer good-quality gifts than many cheap ones, as they can look tacky and will mostly end up not being very useful! You could consider purchasing photo frames, and inserting appropriate photos, for personalised, but not hugely expensive wedding party gifts that everyone will enjoy. These also act as great souvenirs of the special day.
Presenting your wedding party gifts in an appropriate style is also very important- receivers will appreciate any extra effort that you go to. Wrapping paper should, if possible, match the colour scheme of the wedding, and any bows, ribbon or other decoration will only add to the feeling of expense and luxury. You could, if feeling particularly adventurous, even choose a unique colour for each person, so that everyone feels important.
Wedding party gifts don’t need to be a nightmare to organise, as long as you keep these key points in mind. Good luck!
