Giving gifts to your bridesmaids and groomsmen is a nice way of saying thank you for being there for you on your special day. You may be wondering what a good gift would be. This article will give you some tips for picking out the perfect thank you gifts for your bridal party.
Your wedding dress could be one of the most expensive items included in your wedding, but there are ways to save money on this purchase. If you are not looking for a traditional, princess type ballgown, consider looking into other types of dresses. A bridesmaid dress may fit the bill and be much cheaper than a wedding dress. Besides, you can have a dress altered and still likely spend less than you would have on a wedding dress.
If you are planning on having designer dresses or gowns for your bridesmaids, consider purchasing them as their bridal party gift. Many bridesmaids find it expensive and taxing on their income to pay for such extravagant attire that they will only wear once. If you choose to have such a pricey item, make sure you don’t put pressure on them to pay for it.
Be sure that everyone will be able to hear during your wedding. If you are having an outdoor wedding, many things can cause your guests to not be able to hear. Consider having a sound system with microphones that are able to clip on to the bride and groom. This will allow everyone to hear what you are saying.
If you are planning a wedding, it may benefit you to plan it in an off month. Two of the cheapest months to get married in are October and November. Marriages like anything else are a business. The demand for weddings in these months is very low, so to try to generate higher demand prices are lower.
You will want a dance floor space in the room you rent for the wedding reception. Nothing is worse than a tiny, crowded dance floor where there is no room to move around. To make the dance floor larger, clear out some chairs and tables.
If you and your soon-to-be significant other decide to register for gifts, do not forget to indicate on the registry whether or not the two of you are open to gift cards. Some friends and family members prefer to give gift certificates or gift cards in lieu of selected items, but are unsure of the bride and groom’s stance. Including this information can make others aware of your preferences.
If your heart is set on a destination wedding, talk to a travel agent to see if you can get a deal for everyone who is attending at a group rate. They are likely to have planned many wedding trips before yours, and will know exactly how to get the best deals possible.
As stated at the beginning of the article, giving gifts to your bridal party is a nice gesture of thanks and appreciation. With everyone’s tastes being so different, it can be hard to choose those “perfect” gifts. Hopefully this article has given you some great gift ideas for saying “thank you” to your bridal party.
