Wedding Gifts: Bride, Groom, Best Man and Bridesmaids everyone gets a wedding gift
It goes without saying that weddings are important and whether you’re planning your own or have been invited to someone else’s – choosing the right wedding gifts is half the battle. So who gets wedding gifts and what should you get them?
Wedding Gifts for the Bride and Groom
If you’ve been invited to a wedding, you need to bring a gift. You may be in the fortunate position where the bride and groom have created a wedding list, in which case the best bet is to stick to the list!
They’ve spent time putting together the perfect list. They’ve told you what they want. All you have to do is go out and buy it. If they haven’t arranged a wedding gift list, you need to make a few decisions for yourself. ‘How much would you like to spend’ is the first one. If your budget is small you’ll want creative wedding gifts that show thought and personality.
Wedding Gifts for the Best Man
Traditionally the groom will give the best man a small token gift. Cufflinks inscribed with ‘Best Man’ and perfect and are a great reminder of the day. If your wedding is a little less formal and a little less traditional then feel free to look for a more creative wedding gift for the Best Man.
Wedding Gifts for the Bridesmaids
Bridesmaids help the wedding day itself go off without a hitch. They look after the bride and cater to her every whim throughout her big day. They deserve a gift – and perhaps danger money. Simple, classy items like small jewellery pieces or photo frames are usually the best idea. Use some photos from the Hen Party (nice ones!) and frame them as mementos.
Wedding Gifts for the Maid of Honour
Some brides will buy all of the women in her wedding party the same wedding gift but usually the maid of honour will receive something a bit more personal – and special - from the bride. Personal doesn’t have to mean expensive though; subtle and thoughtful is the idea. When choosing a gift for her, start with her personality, likes and hobbies. Perhaps something that the two of you have shared in the past, like a trip to the spa could work. Remember, she doesn’t get a honeymoon so why not treat her to a little relaxation.
Wedding Gifts for the Kids
One of the smartest moves you can make at your wedding is to buy some small gifts for babies and the younger children in attendance. A small soft baby toy could help keep them occupied – and allow their parents to enjoy the big day with you.
Every wedding is different so don’t think that you have to do exactly the same as everyone else when it comes to wedding gifts for your own wedding. Feel free to be creative and have fun.
And if you’ve been invited to a wedding, make your wedding gift to the couple says something about you.
