A properly planned wedding will usually have a checklist of items from the bridal shower to the honeymoon all covered in one way or the other.  Most weddings today have a coordinator that handles everything that is directly or indirectly connected to this event.One item that sometimes gets overlooked is the appreciation gift for the smallest members of the wedding party.  These are the ‘child attendants’ such as the town crier, the ring bearer, the flower girl etc. 

A great idea for a gift is the heart awareness fleece blanket that is crafted with the softest fleece and features a heart awareness red dress with pink embroidered design.  These colorful children’s gifts are bound to be well received.

Emily wanted to have her guests sign the traditional guestbook at their upcoming wedding, but Carl had a better idea.  He had seen a very innovative means of keeping the signatures of their wedding guests on a platter.  This innovation was the personalized guest book platter that uses a permanent black pen to write on porcelain surface.  Carl thought that it would mean a lot more to be able to look at the thoughts and signatures of friends and relatives as he and Emily displayed the finished product in their home long after the wedding ceremony.

Emily thought this would be a great idea so she went along with Carl’s thoughts and agreed to have her wedding coordinator ask their guests to sign the platter and write brief comments beside their names.  The couple was quite happy with this creative approach to capturing such an important part of their wedding in such a long lasting one of a kind format.

Margaret’s boss Harry was getting married and she wanted to buy a nice gift for him.  After all he has been a super boss. One she could rely on for a fair evaluation and a readiness to intervene when his assistance was needed.  Harry was really a model for other supervisors in the big company where they both worked.

Margaret had been window shopping for about two weeks. She would stop by the Providence Place Mall and just walk around the different stores looking for a suitable gift for a male as special as her boss Harry. It was just a few days before the wedding and Margaret was a bit disillusioned, because she was unsuccessful in finding a suitable gift for Harry.

 She was about to walk to her car when she decided to return to the last store that she had already visited.  Her eyes locked onto the most attractive pocket watch.  It was located in the jewelry section of the store that carried men and women’s gifts.  At last she found a gift Harry would really appreciate.  One that would offer the sophisticated elegance that a wristwatch simply cannot match.

A Red letter Day!

I was quite excited when we received the invitation to attend a wedding in Mineola New York.  My husband and I got our outfit ready and we decided to drive down to my mother’s home the night before. We wanted to be on time for the 10:30am wedding ceremony.  Next morning we were out of bed quite early.  I had just washed my hair and needed to use my big curling iron to whip up a nice style.  I wanted to be properly dressed for this wedding. 
 
We were out of my mother’s house by ten minutes of ten and we knew that we would be on time for the wedding, unless something very unusual happened.  The road was moderately busy and the distance seemed reasonable. We had map quested the driving directions from the night before.

We arrived on time and were met at the door by a very efficient usher who asked if we had come on behalf of the bride or the groom. We were escorted in and we sat down.  Soon the wedding march began and the flower girl and ring bearer entered along with the bridesmaids.  I instantly thought of the gifts that the couple may think of giving to each of the young ladies and the young men in their wedding party.  I thought of my website and the unique and personalized wedding gifts as well as the group of gifts on the page labeled as men and women’s gifts. I was still lost in thoughts when the crier entered ringing a bell and announced the grand entry of the bride.

She was beautiful as she walked through the big doors gently holding on to the strong arms of her dad.  Cheers to a beautiful bride!

Among the many important wedding conversations that the bride and groom usually have long before their special day, is one that addresses their wedding pictures.  The bride usually wants a photographer with much experience that will make her look smashing in every pose.  The groom usually wants the event to be over, so that he could just have his bride all for himself.

 

The parents on both sides usually want at least one or two nicely framed pictures to be displayed in their home in addition to other small impromptu shots of the wedding party.  Members of the wedding party are usually delighted to receive a special shot of the ceremony in a nice frame.

 

A popular and safe way to store the special pictures that are too numerous to frame, but none the less very important, is the special wedding photo keepsake box that is decorative and creates a startling impression in any room in your home.  The photo box comes in many different shades and textures and are quite easily maintained.  This is a delightful gift for members of the wedding party or can serve as a gift to the couple.

Selecting an Appropriate Wedding Gift

What are the general rules of thumb when selecting a wedding gift for a friend or a loved one?  I have never read of a rule or heard anyone articulate one. On the contrary I have heard that it is a good idea to ask about the wish list of your friend or loved one.  If this is not possible then go to idea number two; which is to talk with someone that knows your friend or loved one very well. Find out from that person what some potential wedding gifts could be for your friend or loved one.

I’ve usually found it useful to match the wedding gift with the receiver’s personality. If the person is flamboyant then a suitable gift would be something that commands attention from others such as a personalized photo cuff link whereas if the person is of a more quiet nature then a more suitable gift could be a pocket watch.  An outstanding wedding gift that would be well liked is the Chevron Jewelry Set that is just right for anyone in the wedding party and is guaranteed to compliment any formal dress.  So, go ahead and make the decision.  Something to Razzle and Dazzle or something quiet and soothing.

Roxanne has always taken great pride in presenting her friends with a good looking photo framed in an expensive looking frame that nobody could guess the real price she paid.  Her ability to put things together in a professional manner earned her the nickname Princess Roxie.  Roxanne and her best friend Steve will be getting married next Saturday and she will be framing one of their wedding pictures in a wedding picture frame to present as a gift to their special friends.

The picture frame that Roxanne selected is a beaded silver frame that should serve as a special memento to be treasured for years to come.  She is planning to engrave the frame with their name and wedding date. This will certainly look classy and expensive. Cheers to Roxanne and Steve!

Sandy and Timmy made a fast decision to give personalized wedding gifts to all their bridesmaids and groomsmen.  Sandy felt as if she wanted to bring her gift giving to a whole new level by presenting each of her five bridesmaids with a gift bearing her name or initials.  These she thought would be instant keepsakes and would include items such as a personalized heart necklace for Suzie and a  personalized two piece cosmetic set for Alice. 

Timmy on the other hand wanted to give each of the five groomsmen a manly gift without having to spend too much money. He did not have to look far to find something that each of his friends would really appreciate.  Timmy found a pair of silver oval cuff links that was just right for Bruce and a photo keepsake box that Harry was sure to adore.
It took a fraction of the time they normally would have taken to get the gifts for all members of the wedding party.  Sandy and Timmy were quite happy with this accomplishment.
