Explore Some Gifts for a Bridal Party

While planning your own wedding can be a very exciting and fun thing to do with friends or family, it’s no doubt tough—and often stressful. Putting together a wedding requires time, creativity, and the willingness to tackle a very long checklist and deal with a few dramas here and there. Your bridal party—the people who are helping you through this process—definitely deserve tokens of appreciation. Here are some gift ideas for them.

#1 Find inspiration in your wedding motif
If you don’t know where to start, look to your wedding theme. Are you throwing a vintage-vibe wedding? A nice bottle of wine in a rustic wooden wine box is a great gift idea for your bridal party.  If you want something that is lighter and easier to transport because you’re having a destination wedding, try bottle openers that are laser engraved with the individual names and roles of each bridal party member. You can also go for elegant pens that are luxuriously engraved with meaningful messages.

#2 Shop online
For brides with so little time to plan for the party, going online to look for gifts is a very convenient alternative to in-store shopping. Online stores have numerous gift selections like engraved mason jars, keyrings, flasks and champagne glasses among the many fabulous pieces you can find online. There is also free shipping for hassle-free delivery!

#3 Plan and shop ahead of time

Spare yourself from the stress of doing things last minute. You don’t want to place your order just a few days before the wedding and suddenly find out that the gifts you had in mind are not available. So, buy your bridal party gifts at least a month ahead so you have plenty of time to look for something that your friends will really enjoy. 

Elegant Wedding Table Numbers That Should Be on Your Wedding Checklist

Your wedding is one of the greatest celebrations in your life, and naturally, you want everything to be perfect and wonderful. Every detail should be thoughtful and deliberate—including your table numbers. Don’t know what to choose? Here are some elegant wedding table numbers that are worth considering:

Heart Wooden Table Numbers
These classic table decorations are perfect for elegant wedding themes. You can order them unpainted, so you can freely design and paint them yourself with your wedding colours. You can also choose not to paint them if you are going for a rustic look.

Round Acrylic Table Numbers
A tasteful touch to your table setup, these round acrylic pieces are elegantly engraved with table numbers to help your guests navigate your reception hall and figure out where they are sitting. Acrylic materials are becoming staple wedding pieces that display sophistication, especially in clear, gold, silver and black. You can even choose the font you want to use for the engraving.

Tall Wedding Table Numbers
Tall wedding table numbers are not only elegant but also practical. As guests come in, it will be easier for them or the ushers to spot their assigned tables because the numbers tower over other elements in the room. This is especially useful if the wedding tables also have other decorative pieces—such as flowers—that may impede their view. You also don’t have to worry about the numbers standout out too much from your theme because there are pieces that are raw or unpainted that you can decorate to suit the look of your celebration.

Freestanding Table Numbers

Freestanding wooden table numbers are striking decorative elements—and you can get them online at unbelievably low prices. They are professionally CNC cut from high quality 18mm MDF and come in different sizes. Their versality allows you to number your tables in style. 

Case Your Lovely Wedding Ring in a Natural Box

Weddings are never complete without the exchange of rings. They are part of tradition, symbolising the union and eternal love of two people. In a Christian context, the exchange of wedding rings between couples is an illustration of the exchange of love, emotion, and possessions. It means that the couples are in a covenant relationship with God who sealed their marriage. Such is the importance of wedding rings in your marriage ceremony—and it’s only right that you protect and present your wedding rings in the perfect box. If your wedding theme is rustic and laid-back, you can’t go wrong with a natural wooden box. 

Just a few years ago, ring bearers were typically tasked to bring the wedding rings to the couple. But these days, more people choose their best man to keep the wedding rings safe until needed in the ceremony. Why? Because there have been many instances of young ring bearers getting naughty or throwing tantrums during the ceremony. Unless you want to lose your expensive rings, you should probably entrust them to your best man instead. But if you are afraid aunt or sister will be upset if you don't make your nephew the ring bearer, then just don't use a wedding ring pillow holder and go for a natural box instead. 

A lovely natural box for wedding rings is easier to hold and better at keeping your rings safe. It also makes for a perfect wedding keepsake—one that you can keep on your dresser to remind you of your big day, forever. Just sure to choose a style according to the theme or vibe of your celebration. If you are having a garden, beach, or rustic wedding, a natural wedding ring box made of bamboo will complement your theme. To make it extra special, you should have your names or initials engraved on it. An online gift shop could do this for you.
