Thread: Need some ideas on gifts for wedding attendants.

Hello everybody, I have a wedding coming up of my close friend. We have taken care of all the arrangements but just one thing is left, suitable gifts for the attendants. We would like to have something given that would be remembered by them, coming on the monetary issue we would not like to make it expensive too. So, would like to get suggestions from you people to help me decide a gift for the guests.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

What attendants have you got?

Having just recently got married, we bought personalised silver cuff links for our best man along with a bottle of whiskey, our two bridesmaids got a silver Kit Heath Necklace each, my step dad got a vintage silver money tray and we bought the mother of the bride and groom flowers, along with a card and we also took my parents out for a meal the following day just the four of us to say an extra special thank you.

i'm one of those that prefers to give gifts I know will be used and/or appreciated.

For my two sisters who were my bridesmaids, amongst other things, i got a couple of pics from my hen night of us three together and had them framed. Simple idea but both of them really liked it.

Our best man was easy...we bought him a keg of beer and a massive beer glass, he wasn't the sort to appreciate cuflinks but was over the moon with the beer!

For the mums, rather than buy more flowers, we gave them each the vase of flowers that were on their tables for the reception, they appreciated the flowers and got to keep the vases too.

For the dads, we'd bought digital photo frames (you can get them fairly priced now) and a mate of ours took photos speficially for the frames so they were already loaded with wedding pics when we gave them the gifts.

When I was my sister's maid of honour, she gave me an engraved keyring with charms on it.

When I'm supposed to be MOH at my little sister's wedding, I think she'll be giving me a slap for being due to drop a sprog at the same time!

Just don't do the tacky thing a friend of mine did.

She wrapped the present real nice.

Opened the jewelry box ... a pair of pearl ear rings.

But inside of the box lid was inscribed "Navy Federal Credit Union."

Realy tacky, I know she was doing the wedding herself and her dad was taking care of the big things ...

Really disappointing

It really depends what kind of things you have in mind and who you're buying for...

as a guide, I recently got married and we got the following:
Maid of honour - pandora bracelet
flower girls - silver chain with initial pendant
page boys - maglite torches
Best Man / Fathers - watches
Usher - engraved silver tankard
Mothers - bouquets in the wedding colour scheme

They all went down really well!!

Good Luck! xxxxx

I'm getting married in August and I completely forgot about this bit!
Although we are doing donations to the RBL and Cancer Research instead of favours.

Our ushers were 10 years old so they got watches, best man, my stepdad and father in law got glass beer tankards engraved with our wedding day and their names. Bridesmaids got jewellery to their individual tastes and we gave the mums the flower arrangements from the top table.

The gift need not be expensive as there may be a large number of guests but needs to be something unique.Giving a gift to the guests is something very important in a wedding as that leaves a mark of the wedding on a persons mind.

Giving a gift to the guests is something very important in a wedding as that leaves a mark of the wedding on a persons mind and is talked about between people. The gift need not be expensive as there may be a large number of guests but needs to be something unique. I would recommend key chains of a different style, stuffed bears …. the choice may be wide. For better criteria of selection, you can consider online resources for ,so that you do not miss out on the best ones.
