Gifts for those who helped with the wedding

Penguinlove, on December 6, 2016 at 9:42 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7

I am having a difficult time thinking of gifts for the people who helped put my wedding together. I wanted to see what other people have done for similar gift giving.

One friend helped me do literally everything, decorations, flower arrangements, shopping for everything. My grandparents generously paid for the food, venue, and my clothes. I'm at a complete loss of what to get them.

Also, I'm not sure if I should get my Mom a gift. She didn't really do much in terms of helping out. She helped me pick out the food, but was out of town for much of the planning phase.

Thank you for any suggestions!

    One of my oldest friends is officiating. With the help of his girlfriend we've picked out a lovely record player to replace the one he currently has which is a p.o.s. apparently. That's all I got, lol. No BP. No parental involvement.

    So I guess my advice is get them something personal, not wedding-y. It's an old saying that the best gift you can give someone is something they wouldn't buy for themselves.

    I agree with @BoozyBaker and would try to shop for them personally! Does your friend like the spa? I feel like a spa gift card would be a very appropriate "thank you for all your hard work" gift Smiley smile

    Thanks!

    I was thinking a gift card for the place she gets her nails done, and then some coffee because she loves coffee. I'm just not sure if thats enough.

    ^^^That's a great idea!

    But more importantly, what about the cake topper? What did you end up with?

    I ask because there are penguins plastered all over every page I open (ie: Amazon). Which I love Smiley smile
