Wedding Party Favors
A trinket for your guests is a fun and essential part of your wedding planning. While there isn't a rule that says you must provide a favor, you will likely want to follow this tradition to both show your appreciation to your guests and to help decorate your venue.
Bridesmaid Gifts
Bridesmaid gifts are a nice part of the day. The women who support you through your planning should have a little something to say thank you. Often brides will give their maid or matron of honor and bridesmaids jewelry to be worn on the wedding day such as pearls or gold or they will provide a special and meaningful gift. It's often customary to give out this gift at the rehearsal dinner the evening before.
Groomsmen Gifts
There are very nice gifts you can give to the best man and ushers. Some ideas are cufflinks, wrist watches, personalized men's items or an electronic gift.
Reception Accessories
Looking for wedding reception favors and other resources?
There are plenty of things you need for your reception in terms of décor and practical items. You'll need something to cut the cake with, you'll want table decorations, centerpieces, place cards, a guest book with a pen and you might also want other items as well beyond flowers, balloons and other decorations. There are sources like mybridalneeds.com that can accommodate a lot of your needs so that you can have a one stop shop (almost) for most of your needs.
Ceremony Accessories
You might have things you want at your ceremony such as baskets for the flower girl, pew bows, a ring bearer's pillow, unity candles, decorations for the cars in the wedding party or limo, champagne bubbles for outside the church, memory boxes and more.
Extras for the Bride and Groom
Sometimes extras that you didn't think about make a big difference for the reception. The bride might want extra items at the hall for her comfort such as a change of clothing, extra pantyhose and cosmetics for touching up her make-up. It's a nice idea to have a comfortable pair of slippers to wear under the gown at the hall. Satin fitted slippers are comfortable and still look dressy when the tip of the toe is exposed.
Look at your wedding party favors and other accessories early on to find the right items for your wedding day in terms of theme, style and to find the best pricing and availability.
