Giving your attendantsgifts is a custom. It is an unwritten rule that you should reciprocate their support and help that they had provided you with for your wedding. These gifts can be pretty much anything, the gift can take a variety of forms. In general, it is something thatthe person would truly appreciate. Personalized gifts are common. It is a good idea because it will be more endearing to them if it’s something you put thought into. It is better than something they will never use or look at. If it is a functional item, it is even better.

Some attendants, like the bridesmaids and the maid of honor, are the bride’s right hand women. The bride will be responsible for getting gifts for the bridesmaids and maid of honor. If a bridal shower is given, a separate gift may be given then as well. Choosing gifts for the bride’s attendants is a tricky ordeal. It’s usually easier with the maid of honor, as that’s usually her best friend. She can figure that out for herself since she knows her well. The maid of honor usually gets a very special gift, as she is the bride’s closest friend and confidant. Her gift should be of the highest quality and unique, moreso than the bridesmaids. In contrast, the gifts for the bridesmaids are usually all the same. Sometimes, brides opt to get monogrammed objects with each of the bridesmaids’ initials on their gift. This is a wonderful gesture as it makes each girl feel special and necessary. They will appreciate having agreed to share your special day with you more than ever.

A great, special gift for your lady friends might be silver jewelry or perhaps even a jewelry box. Engraving their names or initials is always a good idea. Personalized gifts are very popular, and you can personalize pretty much anything–a tote bag, a clutch, even toiletry bags. For the best man and groomsmen, the groom is in charge of the gifts. Similar to the personalized approach to ladies’ gifts, picking out personalized gifts for your groomsmen will show your friends and family just how much you care. Your thanks to them will be completely embodied in an object once they see your choice of gift. You should opt for a more masculine gift. A man’s initials engraved on an object will ensure that he thinks you really considered the gift to give him. He will feel appreciated andthankful to be your groomsman. Some great ideas are cufflinks, money clips, bar accessories, watches and knives. Anything manly and with a surface can be engraved. If you’d like to get less formal, you could get monogrammed sports bags or backpacks, or even coolers and chairs.
