Choosing the right gifts to thank your wedding party members is one of the most important tasks you’ll have to complete before your big day. One of the most important things you’ll ever do as a bride or a groom is to make your vows.
Have trouble coming up with gift ideas? Here are some pointers to get you started. The following are simple steps that will expedite the procedure:
You don’t have to stick with the “usual suspects” when it comes to gift-giving. On sites like Pinterest and Etsy, you’ll find a plethora of original gift suggestions. You’re saving your groomsmen and bridesmaids from receiving additional watches and tote bags in this manner.
No one is obligated to get the same gift for each member of the bridal party. One of your groomsmen may be an avid fisherman, another a techie, and yet another a beer pong fanatic. As a result, it may be difficult to find a single gift that all three people will enjoy equally. Think about the interests of each member of the wedding party, and then use that information to guide you. Don’t forget to give each person the same amount of money!
Adding a personal touch always enhances the sentimental value of a gift. Engraving or embroidering gifts with names and dates is a common practice for brides and grooms. As a keepsake, the gift can be passed down through generations. There are a lot of websites that allow you to personalize gifts for your wedding party’s groomsmen and bridesmaids at no additional cost.
Waiting until the last minute to order is a bad idea! Certain gifts need to be ordered and manufactured in advance. Give yourself plenty of time to receive everything you ordered. Keep in mind that the more time you put off, the fewer high-quality gifts you’ll have to choose from.
Also, don’t forget to thank your wedding party for all of their hard work by including a small token of appreciation with each gift. You may want to include a handwritten thank-you note with your gifts to show your appreciation. Take a moment to thank everyone at the dinner or reception if you have time leftover in the schedule. Giving a standing ovation to your guests is also a nice touch that they’ll remember.
