Bridesmaid Gift Ideas

Your bridesmaids play an important role in your wedding day. So how do you choose a gift to properly thank them for being there for you? Let/s explore some bridesmaid gift ideas you can think about - possibly one idea will work perfectly for you.

If you are looking for unique bridesmaid gifts, we would suggest selecting something personalized and chosen especially for that particular bridesmaid. For example, one of your bridesmaid's loves silver jewelry. How about silver earrings engraved with her initial? Another bridesmaid absolutely loves to have her spa days.

The perfect gift for her would be a monogrammed white terry cloth spa robe embroidered with her initials. It is perfectly acceptable to give each bridesmaid a gift that is unique to them. They will thank you for the time you took to consider what would be the best gift for each one of them.

Feel safer giving the same thank you gift to each of your bridesmaids? A monogrammed cosmetic bag individualized with each bridesmaid’s monogram is the same gift but personalized for each of the girls in your wedding.

Bridesmaid jewelry sets is also another great option for a gift for your bridal party. Selecting a necklace set that your bridesmaids can wear again after your wedding day is even better. If you are going to choose a bridal jewelry set that matches your wedding color, Swarovski crystal intertwined with freshwater pearls is one great option. If you are going for more Bling, then the perfect practical option for your jewelry sets would be either Austrian crystal or rhinestone necklace sets. Either choice will be a welcome gift by your bridal party.

Personalized bridesmaid gifts are another great gift option. Choosing an embroidered jewelry roll bag, tote bag or lunch tote in your wedding color is a great practical gift for your bridesmaids. You can also give these gifts in your bridesmaid's favorite color or each bridesmaid a different color for a wonderful rainbow effect.

One final option is to continue your wedding theme and give your bridesmaid a gift that coordinates with your theme. Old time Hollywood glamour? A gorgeous personalized silver photo frame or beveled glass trinket box. Wine themed wedding event? A silver wine bottle stopper engraved with your bridesmaids’ initials is the perfect thing. Fall or winter wedding? A nice embroidered thermal blanket will be used over and over this winter.

We hope this article has provided you with a few creative ideas on selecting bridesmaids gifts.

Wedding Shower Invitations

By L Hayes

Bridal showers are like the hen parties that are generally in the domain of the female only family members. The maid of honor and the bridesmaids, who are the bride's best friends, want to celebrate their girlfriend's wedding. Showering the bride-to-be with girly gifts that she will definitely find useful after her nuptials and basically having fun, is what a bridal shower is all about. Bridal showers can be well planned events and of course, a chance for the groom's side to meet the bride before the wedding ceremony. Bridal shower invitations are to reflect the fun and feminine atmosphere of the party. Here are a few tips for choosing wedding shower invitations.

There are a number of different types of shower invitations that you can opt for, depending on the amount of time you have and the budget. Generally it is a good idea to keep the invitations simple and sweetly feminine. You can easily make the shower invitations yourself with ordinary card making supplies like printable cards, lace, ribbons etc. Or, if you have more people, buy invites. You can also match all the invites for the shower to the wedding reception theme. Bridal shower invitations are available in various different styles. Make sure that you buy something with RSVP cards.

You can get seal and sent invitations that are available as a single piece with an attached postcard for response and you don't even have to pay for the mailing. If you want to go in for a more formal look then match your invitations to the wedding ceremony theme or a particular color scheme, say pink for bridal showers, with an envelope that has an inner lining. Having a small envelope seal is just what is called sealing the envelope with a kiss. It is a nice gesture and depending on the style of the cards, you can match this seal.

Or, if you want something very informal, you can have a note card-like invitation that has your name on the front. The behind is kept blank for you to write your invitation message. You will also get blank envelopes with this kind of informal notes and you can reuse these envelopes if you don't use all of them.

When it comes to the bridal shower cards, you can buy customized printed stationery and get the same card company to personalize the shower invitations or you can get a professional calligrapher to write out the cards in a beautiful hand. Many card companies also offer the services of their in-house calligraphers. In fact, you can add a whimsical touch to the cards by adding a small piece of lace or getting the cards to be delivered in matching paper envelopes that are shaped like girl's handbags or other women accessories.

Finally, some wedding vendors will include matching thank you cards and bridal shower favors, too. If you wish, you can buy coordinating bridal shower favors to go with your shower and the shower invites. You can ask if they print the same motifs of their ready-made bridal shower invitations across other items which you can use for the decor too.
