Gifts for Close friends not in my wedding

Jessica, on November 24, 2019 at 11:36 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6
So, we have decided to not have a wedding party (just a MOH and best man). I have 2 really close friends that won’t be in my wedding, but I want to give them something. They are helping me a lot and giving advice and help. If we were to have a larger wedding party, they would definitely be included!
Any ideas on what I could do for them?

    Check etsy out for boxes. There are some that include many items. I think personalized tumblers are a cute addition. I did proposal boxes and got personalized Starbucks cups and personalized boxes.

    You could always write them a very nice thank you and gift them something like a gift card to their favorite restaurant/store/etc.
    Basically shop for them like it's their birthday!

    I was floating some gift ideas for a couple of close people as well. I'm giving them each a framed photo of us together, and I'm editing in some lyrics from our favorite songs. So for my cousin, it's a photo of us from when we were younger with the lyrics "Boy, won't you pick me up at the park right now, up the block while everyone's sleep, sleep, sleep?" from Aaliyah's Are You That Somebody. We wore that track OUT in high school and learned all the dance moves from the video. It's an inexpensive gift that will have a lot of heart, and it's a little silly, too. For my sister, a different photo and different lyrics.


    And I also agree with Chandra that you could do gift cards! Or anything practical that they'd use a lot is always a good gift idea, too. Like if one likes to bake, you can find cute measuring cups or a trendy cookbook. And simple jewelry (like solitaire pendants with matching earrings) could be easy and meaningful as well. When it comes to gift giving, the world is your oyster!

    This is a perfect suggestion, and what I would do if I was in your shoes!

    Maybe some products you know for a fact they'll use, like Bath and Body Works lotion or shower gel!
