Every bride wants to feel special and that includes me. I have always dreamed of walking down the isle in a satin wedding dress to meet the man of my dreams and the end of a long aisle of velvet with soft music playing.

To thank your wedding party you will be giving them a gift. This is usually done at the rehearsal dinner with a little speech and heartfelt thanks. You can have these gifts ready to go way before the nuptials begin and take the time to write out notes to them closer to the day.

These gifts can be personalized with a goody bag of some of their favorite things. If you know they wear a certain perfume or body splash include it in the gift. Prepare all the bags in advance and then set aside the stack of cards that you and your fianc can write out right before the wedding.

Many times a bride will give her attendants a gift that they can use at the wedding. A good idea is to give them a piece of jewelry. Jewelry pendants can be a good idea that all of them can wear at the wedding to compliment their dress. They can wear it that day and future days to remember the time they stood up with you for marriage.

There are a lot of places you can find costume jewelry for a fair price and don’t look over online sites. Sometimes when you are buying several pieces of costume jewelry free shipping is included with the order. This is also nice. You can add these pieces to the ensemble in the gift bag you present and add a special note of sentiment to each bag.

For the groomsmen there are many small masculine gifts you can find at a very good price. A designer pen is a great gift. And personalizing for each guy is nice too. There is nothing like a gift certificate to their favorite store to add to the personalized gift.

Your parents can help with assembling some of the gifts to help take some of the burden off of you. Both you and the groom can do it together and don’t leave it all up to you as the gifts are from both of you. It is customary for the bride to give her attendants their gifts at the rehearsal dinner and the same for the groom.
