Witness gifts?

Toni, on December 20, 2018 at 12:23 PM Posted in Planning 0 6
So we’re going to get married by courthouse elopement and we have our best friends (another engaged couple) as the witnesses. I wanted to give them a gift bag to say how much we appreciate them being there with us but I’m unsure of what to add in them?
I was thinking for him maybe some mini bottles of alcohol, thank you note, a tie and something else and for her, small bottle of champagne, thank you note, a necklace and Something else?
I thought about giving her a dress that I would like her to wear but I’m afraid if that would come across like “you can’t dress yourself”? (Which isn’t how I feel!)
help?

    Could you just take them out to dinner afterwards? Otherwise maybe a gift card to a restaurant? If you want them to wear something specific I wouldn’t include that as part of their gift.

    We’re going to take them out after to celebrate but I felt like a small gift would be nice for them, I probably won’t include anything they have to wear

    Maybe pay for them to stay overnight in a nice hotel nearby? Then give them a bottle of champagne too?

    That’s a good idea! I was also considering gifting them a couples spa day as a thank you (and champagne cause why not) Smiley smile

    Yeah! I think whatever they would enjoy more, but an activity or day out is always fun. My fiance and I love staying in hotels, even if it's a staycation in town, so that would be an awesome gift for us!
