Keepsake Gifts
It can be easy to overlook the people who have helped make your dreams come true. Take the opportunity to say “thank you” for helping make your day unforgettable with unique keepsakes, engraved gifts or any of these ideas.
for your bridesmaids
Assisting in the wedding preparations can be time-consuming for your bridesmaids. Consider giving engraved jewelry to use not only for your wedding day but in the future, as well. Gifts for your bridesmaids can also be practical, such as an embroidered tote bag or sweatshirt. Another gift idea for your wedding party is a gift certificate to a salon and spa or a restaurant.
for the groomsmen
Consider buying them their shirts, ties or socks to be worn with their suits. Engraved flasks or steins can also be fun! A simple gift lets them know that you appreciate their efforts and that you want to thank them for all that they have done to support you.
for your parents
They worked hard to raise you; they showed you what love is about – and most importantly, they helped make your wedding day possible. A personalized photo album or picture frame can be very dear to the heart and can incorporate both childhood and current pictures. It makes a great gift they are sure to love.
Jewelry is a nice gift for mothers, and a personalized pen or watch is a great idea for fathers. Write a heartfelt thank-you letter to give to both of them. Putting your words on paper can mean the world to parents, and will become a treasured keepsake as they watch the love grow between you.
for each other
The tradition of the bride and groom’s gift exchange may be fading, but many couples still honor this pastime. Perfume, watches and letters are great options to keep in mind.
remember your wedding day
You’ve been planning your wedding for months, and in a blink of an eye, you’re off to your honeymoon and starting your new adventure together as Mr. and Mrs. Remember your day with these ideas.
printed photos
If you chose a package with your photographer that included prints, you will want to get them framed or put into an album. Decide what will work best with your lifestyle and décor. After placing your order with the photographer, give them some time to get everything processed. It may take longer than you expect, so plan accordingly and ask your professional for an estimated date.
ceremony memories
Another great way to remember your wedding day is choosing a ceremony activity that can be treasured for a lifetime. Whether sand in a vase, a box of love letters, or your sand turned into a beautiful glass piece, it will be a fun anniversary piece to revisit each year.
