Who to Buy Gifts for in a Wedding
- Depending on your budget, gift ideas for the maid for honor and bridesmaids are endless. Jewelry; tickets to a musical; day spa gift certificates; throws embroidered with their name, duty and date; gift baskets with perfume and bath beads; bathrobes; or any other practical gift are all suitable. You can also give the maid of honor a little something extra.
- Popular gifts for groomsmen are practical gifts such as monogrammed tie clips, money clips, USB drives, cuff links, Swiss army knives, beer steins or flasks and pocket watches. Other suggestions include two bottles of wine in a decorative box, tickets to a sporting event, personalized golf balls or even their favorite sports jersey with their name embroidered on the back.
- A symbol of gratitude for the parents' love, commitment and contribution to the wedding can be as simple as an engraved picture frame of the bridal couple. A manicure, pedicure and facial for the mother before the wedding and a bottle of the father's favorite alcohol and cigars also make thoughtful treats. A gift certificate to a nice restaurant or Shel Silverstein's children's book "The Giving Tree" about sacrifice and love are other popular gifts.
- A little treat for the flower girl, depending on her age, could be pajamas and slippers, a purse with a mirror, lip gloss and a hairbrush, a book or a plush toy. The ring bearer might like a toy such as a ball, bat, hockey stick or other sporting equipment, plush toy, book or perhaps an engraved car or piggy bank.
- A groom's gift to the bride can range from a handwritten love letter or a poem and single red rose to a booked vacation on a cruise ship. Jewelry -- such as diamond earrings, a bracelet or necklace -- expensive sunglasses or something special for the honeymoon are other ideas. The bride could give her groom a golf club, tickets to a sporting event, electronics such as an iPad or gaming console, monogrammed cuff links or some sexy lingerie or bikini for the honeymoon.
