Everyone involved in your wedding, from the bride and groom’s family and friends to the event planners, all play a key role in your wedding’s success. However, reflecting upon your wedding experience from beginning, to end, who were those who organized the pre-wedding events such as bachelor/bachelorette parties, wedding showers, and luncheons to commemorate this memorable occasion? What group of cherished ladies and gentlemen stood by your side with unconditional support, advice, and assistance before, during, and even after you tie the knot? Yes, of course, this is your beloved bridal party! This group represents your intimate circle of loved ones who have been at your side for insight, guidance, and comfort during this frenzied time.
Typical newlyweds are accustomed to giving their party tokens of appreciation with novelty gifts that potentially can sit on a mantle or in a drawer for years to come. Silver money clips, watches, engraved jewelry, and photograph frames are common gifts presented to the bridal party. However, times have changed and the traditional rule of thumb for bridal gifts is taking a twist.
You know each party member’s quirks, likes, and dislikes, so instead of choosing a basic memorabilia item to represent your wedding think twice and pick something that will better fit their lifestyle. Even staying within your budget, possibilities abound!
For women who are keen on regular hair primping or routine professional skin pampering consider treating them to a series of facials or massages. Others may spend a great amount of time at the gym and would enjoy taking on extra fitness endeavors. Find out if they would enjoy taking a relaxing yoga class or intense Pilates course and sign them up for a few sessions at their favorite studio. Your ladies may be entertainment buffs who would enjoy a fab night out seeing a great show or play with complimentary dinner at a fine restaurant.
For the gentlemen of the party, they would be thrilled to receive gifts that reflect their character and lifestyle as well. Are they avid golfers, daily readers, or sports fanatics? Look into anything from certificates, to game day tickets for them to go out and enjoy. Men also can be into the routine of pampering. Think of massages, manicures, pedicures, and even facials for the guys. Magazine subscriptions, a membership to Toastmasters, or a year supply of their favorite brew are other unique gift ideas.
Regardless of how you choose to honor your bridal party makes sure they feel appreciated for their work well done. Along the endless road of fittings, cake tastings, and reservation makings, they were by your side and they are there to celebrate your new life ahead. Show them that you care with something they will truly remember.
