Amongst all the decorations, reservations and food details that go into planning a wedding, one last minute detail can be easily overlooked: finding the perfect gifts for your bridal party. Typically the bride and groom purchase gifts to give to the bridesmaids, groomsmen and family who help make their day perfect. This is a great opportunity to show your appreciation for not only their help with your wedding day, but also for the love and support they have shown you throughout the years. A great way to make your gifts meaningful is to add the personalization of monograms, names or even a noteworthy message.

Some of the current trends include monogrammed clutches for bridesmaids and personalized mugs/flasks for your groomsmen. Remember, it’s always great to give a gift that they will be able to use even after your wedding day. If you don’t want to empty your wallet on paying for engraved names or monograms, other great ideas are the ties for your groomsmen or unique shoes/jewelry/hairpieces for your bridesmaids.

Your parents play a huge roll in the shaping of your lives so this is a great opportunity to tell them thank you as well. There are some really cute personalized jewelry ideas for the mother of the bride/groom such as a necklace with your wedding day that she can wear to the wedding. Ideas for the father of the bride/groom are personalized cufflinks/money clips for the sentimental type, or a gift certificate to his favorite restaurant. Also, a great way to use those engagement photos you had taken before your wedding is to frame them as gifts for your parents/grandparents.

All in all, be creative and choose a gift that is as personal and memorable as the wedding day itself!
