Y'all are in luck!
Since it's exactly 29 days until my wedding I have decided to speed up my Wedding Belles series and you get two posts in one week.
Having your best friends in your wedding is a blessing, you want the people you can count on the most being by your side on your special day, but you have to remember to thank them for it!
The best part about these gifts is that they don't just have to be for bridesmaids and groomsmen,
some of them can be used for best friend gifts as well!
First, we'll start off with bridesmaids. . .
These make for gorgeous pictures on the big day, and while they aren't really practical for after the wedding-personalized gifts are always a winner!
If you have a certain look planned for your girls on your big day, try to alleviate some of the costs by gifting them the jewelry you want them to wear that day.
This is also something they could wear again, each time remembering the sweet bride that gave them to them!
If you're going on a bachelorette bash to the beach or to a destination wedding, these would be the perfect gifts for your girls!
You can coordinate them to your wedding colors & the girls could break these out every summer and use them over and over again.
Now for the groomsmen. . .
($100 bills optional ;)
These are great because groomsmen want gifts they can use, not just something pretty.
I love the little touch of the embossing, and the fact that it's not too fancy.
Painted Cooler
If you're feeling crafty, bust out the Mod Podge and the sandpaper and paint your groomsmen their own personalized cooler.
This takes a ton of time, a ton of work, and a ton of patience.
But it would be so cool if you were really close to all of your husbands groomsmen!
Plus, it's a gift they would use for every trip to the lake and beach.
If you've got guys that love to tailgate in your wedding, then these flasks are for them!
You can find these relatively inexpensive on the internet (especially when you buy in bulk!)
Once again, it's something they can use and the personalization is really special.
And for a bonus, I want to show you my very top favorite flower girl and ring bearer gifts!
Flower Girl. . .
Try finding a miniature version of the jewelry you're having your bridesmaids wear.
That way the little bitties won't feel left out!
Also, pro tip-keep it as inexpensive as possible.
The odds of this gift getting lost or broken is high, also if it does last-they'll outgrow it quickly!
Ring Bearer. . .
This would be adorable for the ring bearer to wear for the rehearsal dinner.
It's something that he could wear after to play in as well, so bonus points for saving his mama money on play clothes!
I hope y'all didn't mind a double dose of Wedding Belles this week, I'm just getting into crunch time so I'm trying to keep focused on wedding stuff!
Thanks for stopping by, until next time. . .

Love these ideas! I've received personalized flip flops as a bridesmaids gift, which was so useful during the reception.

I would've never thought of flip flops, but what a great gift!

Such great ideas! The last wedding that I was in gifted us personalized hangers, monogrammed button ups, and monogrammed tote bags! I keep my bridesmaid dress on the hanger, and I always smile when I see it. And I was glad to have that tote bag the day of the wedding!

Love all these ideas! I remember my husband really struggling with groomsman gifts - but we found a great website to personalize items! I think it's so important to make gifts like that personal - awesome round up of ideas!!

Groomsmen gifts can be really hard, because the guys want practical gifts!

Those beach towels! Love 'em!

They were one of my favorite finds! I almost wish I had gotten them for my girls :)
Deletexoxo, SS
Love the idea of personalized hangers!! If you didn't put the wedding date on them then I think they would still be practical after the wedding. I would use something like that for a special occasion :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you would definitely think about the wedding every single time you used them afterwards, which would be sweet :)
Deletexoxo, SS
The hangers are such a cute idea!!

Thanks for stopping by! I was so upset that I didn't think of the cooler idea in time to do it for my fiance's guys!
Deletexoxo, SS
I really like the earrings and the pearl bracelet! I also think the cooler is a really fun touch...one of those gifts that are sure to be used post-wedding! I am forwarding this to my cousin :)

The coolers were one of my favorite ideas! But I didn't get to do them for my fiance's guys because he had 7 groomsmen and 3 ushers who are also his best friends...and ya girl didn't have time to do 10 coolers lol
Deletexoxo, SS
Less than a month to go! You must be so excited! All such great ideas...those hangers will look so adorable the day of and be amazing in your pictures :)
ReplyDeleteI'm alternating between excited and panicking! But mostly excited :)

Love the monogrammed beach towel idea especially for summer weddings! I should of thought of that!! My mom and I put together monogrammed makeup bags with stuff for the girls & my husband bought the groomsmen shoes!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to show y'all what I actually got my girls...I'm not revealing it yet because some of them read the blog!
Deletexoxo, SS
Yeah, these are just fantastic ideas. The beach towel idea excited me the most. I would love to use your ideas in my engagement party that will be held at one of the best Hollywood venues. Thanks a ton for this post!
