It can be a shopping challenge knowing where to start when buying thank you gifts for bridesmaid and ushers. Most couples have a budget but wish to give a special gift which will be reminder of the special wedding day. Personalised gifts are now affordable even for the smallest budget.
Personalised gifts can be almost anything with the recent advances of engraving and printing technologies. From keepsakes to practical gifts, from traditional to modern, and from serious gifts to fun gifts the choice is yours.
Bridesmaids gifts are given by the bride to her bridesmaids and maid of honour as a permanent keepsake of the wedding. The best gifts are those that can be used both during and after the wedding, such as a personalised handbag mirror or piece of silverware.
The matron of honor usually receives more lavish gift than the other bridesmaids as it is normally her job to organise the hen night and bridal shower. Consider spending a more on her for the extra mile that she goes for you. You may also wish to thank flower girls and junior bridesmaids with a small gift.
Embroidered slippers for the bridesmaids are a popular choice for those who enjoy practicality but with a special twist. They can be stowed away as a keepsake or used here and now as a reminder about the fun and special times recently enjoyed by all.
Bridesmaid gifts are usually presented at the bridesmaids lunch if there is one or at a rehearsal dinner. Sometimes they are given on the wedding day at the reception. The gift to the maid of honour can be similar to the bridesmaid gifts but should be a bit more expensive
Photo frames can be engraved, and many come in many shapes sizes and styles. They can be used for years, and are both traditional and practical. What a lovely way to remember the wedding day or hen party than with an engraved frame which dispayed the date and location of the wedding.
Bridesmaids that will enjoy a special gift to keep and use many like engraved trinket boxes. Again many can be engraved with that special message or a photograph. This is a gift that will sit proudly on the dressing table as a permanent reminder of the wedding and that persons role in it.
Ushers and best man gifts are given by the groom to his ushers as a permanent keepsake of the wedding. For ushers gifts think about engraved cufflinks, pocket watches, silver frames, watches, and tankards.
The gift to the best man may be similar to the ushers gifts but should be a bit more lavish. Page boys may also be recognised with a gift with a smaller price tag.
Cufflinks can be worn again and again. There are so many contemporary and novelty cuff links to choose from. From silver engraved cufflinks to dedicated best man cufflinks there will be a perfect pair out there for your best man, ushers and parents fathers.
Tankards are steeped in history, practical and can be engraved with special message text and or a photo. Tankards were traditionally used for holding alcoholic beverages, and in years gone by have been made from a range of long lasting materials.
Traditional and practical gifts are pocket watches. These are very popular gifts for the best man, ushers and fathers. Pocket watches now usually come with a warranty and can be engraved with text or even photographs. There are many styles such a skeleton pocket watches, to those with a face cover.
For those who wish to spend a little extra why not buy some pink champagne complete with its own special message on the label. These usually come complete with a luxurious presentation box.
Many couples invest in a wedding guest book, which is a keepsake of the day itself, filled with endearing messages from all the guests. Once again wedding guest books are available in different styles and from heart shapes to conventional book styles.
