Title: Wedding Gifts - Not Just for the Bride
and Groom!
Author: Elsie Gilbert
Article:
With most contemporary weddings there is a huge entourage of individuals who
are extremely important to the success of the big day. Bearing this in mind,
it seems only fitting that these people should be recognized for their time
and effort with specifically chosen wedding gifts all of their own.
Who Should Receive Wedding Gifts?
The obvious answer is anyone who helps out to the extent that the bride and
groom feel that they deserve special wedding gifts. Typical individuals who
should be considered for such wedding gifts include bridesmaids, best men,
ushers and the parents of the bride and groom.
Wedding gifts are also often given to the professionals that help make the
day happen, such as your hairdresser or the wedding planner, although these
gifts are more token gifts and can be as simple as a nice card or a small
bouquet of flowers.
With larger weddings, it is also common practice to offer a small gift to
every guest in the form of a favor, placed at each place setting. Due to the
large quantity of these wedding gifts that you are required to purchase,
they tend to be much smaller and cheaper such as sugared almonds or small
chocolates.
Choosing Wedding Gifts
Of course, your choice of wedding gifts depends largely on the known likes
and dislikes of the people whom you have invited to attend your wedding
party. If you have a small number of people
involved you may be able to purchase individually chosen, more expensive
wedding gifts such as a special ornament or piece of jewelry. But remember
that it is the thought which counts, and
token wedding gifts such as cufflinks, teddy bears and mugs can be just as
effective.
As part of the wedding speeches, bouquets of flowers are often given to the
mother of the bride and the mother of the groom; this is particularly the
case with more traditional wedding ceremonies.
A great cheap way to please the wedding party guests is to offer them
pictures of the day as well as any attire that you have purchased especially
for them. It is very difficult to think of anything else to do with the
bridesmaid dresses and jewelry, so why not use them as unique wedding gifts?
By giving the critical members of the wedding party wedding gifts you will
ensure that your important helpers feel that their efforts have been noticed
and they will feel that they have truly been a vital part of your big day.
Giving wedding gifts to guests may seem a little odd, but why not share the
good fortune of your day and spread a little happiness?
