Favors For Your Guests

Wedding favors are one of the most important parts of the reception. These favors are what the guests will take home to remind them about your big day. Most brides and grooms will try to include favors for their guests that provide a unique reflection of the event and of the couple's personalities. A big emphasis is being placed today on using cheap wedding favors that are original to the couple; of course, even with original favors no one will be totally unique, but there are enough choices out there that there's a good chance none of your guests will encounter quite the same favor again.

Gifts For Your Groomsmen

Grooms rejoice! Buying gifts for the guys in your wedding party is easier than ever with Gifts and Otherwise. We have all the groomsmen gifts guys love, from beer mugs to money clips, cuff links and even golf gifts — many of them can be personalized for free!

Traditional gifts for the groomsmen include bar ware (such as pint glasses, wine glasses, sets, and cocktail shakers), money clips, flasks, and the like. Some more modern twists include sportswear and sports gear, such as pennants and bats. Because the groom and his attendants so often share the same interests, it might be a good idea to give a gift that they can all use during their favorite pastimes, such as golf gear or paintball accessories. Tool kits are also a great idea for the groomsmen. In all cases, the gifts should be personalized by adding an engraving as well as a thank you note and the date of the wedding.

There really are only two major categories when it comes to gifts for bridesmaids; carrying bags and jewelry. These tow kinds of gifts have never gone out of style and continue to be popular thank-you mementos today. In fact, the most popular choices can be narrowed still further; most brides will give their attendants tote bags or earrings. Close seconds in each category are cosmetic bags and necklaces. The jewelry might carry special significance as it is often selected to go with the bridesmaid's dresses and worn on the wedding day. The tote bags or cosmetic bags can also come in handy for all of the last minute preparations on the big day.

Make Your Gifts Unique

You will probably prefer that the gifts you give out as thank-yous and mementos on your wedding day are personalized. Personalized gifts are a great way to add a unique touch to any favor or other type of wedding gift. In the strictest sense, personalized, unique gifts often mean that the name of the bride and groom, as well as the date of the wedding, is found somewhere on the gift. It can either be a label, a ribbon, or an engraving.

As the gifts get less general in nature, brides and grooms may want to consider personalizing the items to specific individuals. This can add a great touch to the gifts for members of the wedding party as well as officiators and masters of ceremony. Personalized gifts for these individuals are usually engraved, and should include not only the names of the couple and the date but also the name of the individual to whom the gift is given and a brief thank-you. Just make sure that you are spelling the name correctly before asking the vendor for the service!

Gifts For Children in the Wedding Party

Many wedding parties include children in the form of a ringbearer and/or flower girl, sometimes more than one of each! Personalized children's gifts are often given to each of the kids as a way of thanking them for participating in the bride & groom's special day.
